About US

The Vessel, est. November 2018, is an idea that formulated over a few cold ones on the deck, discussing the lack of places to locally have a drink in the sun.

The Vessel is loosely inspired by Captain Cook, who landed on Cooks Beach in 1769. We have a nautical theme to our restaurant / bar, you’ll find memorabilia all around The Vessel. 

Relaxed and happy feel is what we are all about. There’s no need to book, it’s casual dining so come on in and grab a table and then order from the bar, easy. Come relax and chill at The Vessel.

A 40ft container that is the bar, alongside a 20ft kitchen container, is the foundation on which The Vessel was built. We welcome you to enjoy our relaxed and comfortable surroundings and have a chilled beverage in the sun. Whether you are in togs, active-wear, your Sunday best or your tradie gear, you will be welcome at The Vessel!
