    Stowaway is such a fun spot to kick back with friends. The whole tiki/island vibe really sets the mood--it feels like a mini escape the moment you walk in. Great decor, great energy, and the perfect place to hang out, drink, and snack. Speaking of drinks... they are really good--almost dangerously so. Everything we tried was delicious, but the mai tai was definitely our favorite. Super well-balanced and easy to keep ordering without realizing how strong they are. The food didn't disappoint either. Every dish we had was flavorful and paired perfectly with the drinks, making it easy to settle in and stay awhile. Overall, a lively, laid-back spot with great drinks, tasty food, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a go-to for a night out with friends.

    A decade ago, I sometimes went to a tiny tiki bar at the District in Tustin until one day, to my disappointment, it vanished. Recently, while reading a tiki bar review by Raven R., I noticed it had the same name as the place I used to visit and, after a bit of investigation, realized that they had moved to this larger space. They'd been in business for a few years at this new location and I just now found out! I immediately made reservations (recommended). We were seated in one of the tiki booths, shown a QR code to access the menu, and reminded there is a two hour time limit due to limited seating. We started with a couple of appetizers - angry edamame and chicken skewers - as they were a happy hour deal. The edamame, made with sriracha, garlic, and ginger, were at the edge of my spice tolerance (which is very low), but I loved them, while the chicken was tender with a delicious miso sauce. The big reason to come here is for their magnificent variety of cocktails. I had a Kona Coffee (spiced rum, macadamia nut liqueur, espresso, and coconut) which was fantastic, definitely on my list of favorites. Later I had a Rum Runner (Hamilton West Indies rum, blackberry, banana, pineapple, and orange) which was fruity and sweet, served in a surfer-monkey mug. I really like this one too. As a main dish I got the grilled pineapple teriyaki chicken sammie, which was a festival for the taste buds, although a bit messy. The accompanying fries were excellent. The atmosphere is dark and "tiki" which, along with attentive service (and of course incredible cocktails), make for a highly enjoyable experience.

    Completely blown away by Stowaway! What an awesome tiki bar. While the decor is great, the cocktails are what really impress. Rarely do you get both a fun tiki bar AND world-class drinks, but that is exactly what Stowaway offers out here in Tustin. Mix in impeccable service and you have yourself one of the best establishments in the area. I can't wait to come back to try more of their menu items. Plan ahead because this spot is in high demand!

    This is a fun themed bar. Parking can be tight so make sure to prepare appropriately. Our server, Chin was the absolute best! We were well taken care of and all our questions were answered. The drink menu is extensive so expect some tough choices. We got black sands, flamingo, and rum runner. Black Sands- This is rum based with guava mango, pineapple, and orange. It was a fruity, vacation drink taste. Flamingo- You get a strong pear flavor with a hint of lime. Main alcohol is vodka. Very citrusy. Rum Runner- You get a montage of blackberry, banana, orange, and pineapple. Served in a fun monkey glass. Great experience overall!

    We absolutely loved our time here tonight! This is such a cute spot. Very immersive, clam and relaxing! Fair pricing for drinks and they have plenty of non-alcoholic options which was great for us! Our family members enjoyed some of their alcoholic drinks: Mai Tai, Bahama Mama and Smokey Rita. We enjoyed non-alcoholic Shirley Temples (with a side of fire) and pain killer! They also have a few vegan options for food. Our waiter, Crystal was super friendly and made our experience awesome! Thank you so much! We can't wait to make a road trip back out here to Newport. We'll definitely stop here again!

    Fun bar with plenty of drinks and food to choose from! They also have great happy hour deals. It's a tiki bar, but I was so glad the drinks weren't overly sweet or loaded with sugar like at many other places. I tried the loco moco, which came with mac salad and was really good. There was a juicy patty with rice and gravy, and a perfectly cooked egg on top. I also tried the coconut shrimp, which was super crunchy with a big coconut flavor and paired perfectly with a sweet and sour dipping sauce. I would come again and try their different cocktails!

    Smoking Rita, Angry Edamame (minus Sri racha) and Holy Grail
    Deb H.

    What a super fun bar and restaurant this is! The theme is Tiki and they have a very vast menu of really creative drinks! I tried the Smoking Rita (Mezcal, grilled pineapple, lemon, agave) and it was delicious but strong! My husband liked it since he likes stronger drinks where I prefer not to taste the alcohol as much so The Holy Grail (Tequila, Giffard Raspberry, Agave, Lime, Cucumber and Raspberry) was perfect for me! I could drink like 10 of those it was so delicious! They also have a yummy food menu which I want to go back and try since we just came here for Happy Hour and sat at the bar and had a couple drinks and shared the Angry Edamame. Watch out- the Angry Edamame is SPICY! Way spicier than the normal garlic chili edamame that they have at other restaurants! We sat at the bar and it was easy to order food and drinks from the Bartender. You can make a reservation but we got there early (before 5pm) and were seated right away. Their Happy Hour Menu runs Tuesday-Friday 4pm-6pm and it's great value both for drinks and food (our Angry Edamame was half priced at $5, instead of $10) Also all skewers are $2 off. They also have Dole Whip here (like at Disneyland) which I absolutely love!! The ambiance here is also off the charts - everything you'd expect when you think "Tiki Bar"! I can't wait to go back to try more of their large variety of drinks and more of their food!

    We returned to Stowaway on the day after Christmas to try their holiday cocktail menu. We were disappointed to find out that they pulled the plug on it after Christmas eve. Their social media accounts even said it would continue until January 4 like many other places with a special holiday cocktail menu. We decided to stay and have some food and a few drinks anyway. We started out the Poke Bombs ($15) and Shishito Peppers ($13) appetizers which were good as always. I started out with the Ailani Elixir (Light Rum, Spiced Rum, Coco, Pineapple, Orange, Lihing Mui, $14). I had this drink a few visits ago and loved the spiced rum flavor. It even motivated me to start using spiced rum in my cocktails at home. This time it was very sweet and all pineapple flavor with a hint of coconut and zero spiced rum flavor. I would have never guessed this was the same cocktail. She started out with Hemingway's Ghost (Papas Pilar 7 Rum, Lime, Grapefruit, Luxardo, $15). This was a very good balanced cocktail with grapefruit very noticeable on the nose and finish. My second drink was the Singapore Sling (Gin, Pineapple, Lime, Lemon, Bitters, Cherry, $14). I've enjoyed Singapore slings before, but this was a pure citrus bomb that tasted like it had three times the amount of lime and lemon it should have had, with a hint of cherry on the finish. My girlfriend had a sip and immediately got a pucker face. It started tasting better half way through as the melting ice started to dilute it. Her second drink was the Black Sands (Bali Hai Pineapple Rum, Diplomatica Reserve Rum, Pineapple, Orange, Guava, Lime, Coco, Charcoal, $18). It arrives at the table flaming on top. The pineapple and guava flavors stood out. It also has a little funk to it, making it even more interesting and enjoyable. We were disappointed we couldn't try the holiday special drinks, and both of my drinks were a fail, but hers were good. Service was also good. I also returned with a friend in mid-November, and didn't write an update, but I will add some additional comments from that visit. Even though their Halloween cocktail menu had ended this was the one drink I didn't get to try because they ran out of the ingredients on the night we visited. Our server checked and said they could still make it, so I had the Cocktail From The Crypt (Golden Eagle Vodka, Macadamia Nut Liqueur, Pineapple, Lemon, Coconut Cream, $17). It was balanced, and macadamia nut forward with coconut and pineapple in the background. I had the Rum Runner on my first visit here and enjoyed it, so I ordered it again (Hamilton West Indies Rum, Blackberry, Banana, Pineapple, Orange, $17). The first time I had it, it was very balanced and very good, and comes in the cool monkey on a surfboard mug. Something went wrong this time, as it tasted like blackberry punch with no other flavors. My friend tried it and had the same opinion. Final rating 3.5 stars downgraded to 3.0 stars for these recent visits. We have always had a good time and enjoyed the drinks, food, and atmosphere at Stowaway. However, these last two visits have had issues with consistency, and three out of my last six drinks were subpar. We will come back again at some point. Hopefully these last two visits were just off nights.

    I love a Tiki Bar! This place is large, lots of seating. Typical tiki vibe, bamboo, etc. not as quirky as some that I've visited. Warm lighting. We tried an app, it was good. Nice to have the option to order a snack with the drinks. Drinks were delicious- Everything is better with fire. They have fun tiki mugs for purchase. Staff are dressed in tropical attire, friendly and smiling.

    We've been coming to Stowaway for a few years, and it has always been a delight! The Saturn has to be my favorite cocktail, a nice and tart gin-forward drink that a waitress recommended a few visits ago. The only complaint is the parking situation. Can be difficult, if not impossible, to find parking, and Stowaway doesn't offer suggestions on alternatives (you can park in the plaza behind Stowaway, but be warned that that plaza does have the right to tow)

    Stowaway will always hold a special place in our hearts. When my husband and I first started dating, their original location at The District in Tustin quickly became our spot. It's where we met our favorite bartender, Grayson, who always made sure we had a memorable time--every visit felt personal, fun, and full of good vibes. While waiting for their new location to open, we checked out their sister bar in San Clemente, The Lost Inferno, and it was incredible. During that visit, we officially met one of the owners, Dominic, and shared just how much we loved Stowaway and how excited we were for their reopening. When Stowaway finally reopened, we made sure to visit right away. Even though the new spot is a little farther than The District, it is absolutely worth the drive. And of course, we had to go see Grayson again--some traditions are too good to let go. That's how much this place means to us: my husband and I even took a couple of our engagement photos there. Stowaway isn't just a bar to us; it's part of our story. If you're looking for a great time, unforgettable drinks, and the best tiki bar around, go to Stowaway. You'll love it just as much as we do.

    The drinks were REALLY good
    Meagan E.

    Had been looking forward to coming here because my brother is always talking about it. We got seated at the bar and ordered our first round of drinks which were REALLY good. We then ordered a second-round and added Angry Edamame. We got about halfway through the edamame and there was a piece of steel wool in the middle of it. This has happened to me before at a different establishment, so this happening to me AGAIN has me checking my food everywhere I go now which is really annoying. We quietly told the bartender so that the people sitting around us didn't hear and they looked at us like we added that shit ourselves. No apologies. Just took the plate and left. We didn't ask for a refund or make an issue about it at all, just literally a "hey heads up, we just found this." The people sitting right next to us didn't hear the complaint because they also ordered edamame and were none the wiser, that's how discrete it was. We had our empty drinks for about 20 mins after that and they never came back to ask if we wanted to get another (we actually didn't see our bartender again after this) so we just asked for the check, paid the FULL bill and left. Not a great first impression.

    I am trying to call Stowaway to check on reservations but nobody is answering, it seems to be an unattended line. Anyone have any inside scooping how I can talk to somebody in person?

    That happened to us too, we unfortunately had to go in person. They are so beyond busy.

    What is the difference between the indoor seating and tiki bar? Thank you

    A table with a server vs the bar top with the bartender.

    We just want to go for drinks? Is there a wait for the bar?

    Y The whole restraint is a bar, you need to make reservations for all seating.

    Is there live music?

    Unfortunately there isn't! At least when we went it was just over the speaker & TVs were playing whatever major sport event is happening.

    Are gluten-free options available?

    Sure, as someone that was raised gluten-free, and has family members with celiac I can confidently say that you have plenty of options here. Skip the gravy on some of the dishes because it would have had flour to thicken it. There's a couple of rice… Read more

    What's the volume like? Can you have a calm conversation here?

    The music isn't blaring. You can easily have conversations with your friends or make new friends at the bar.

    If you're going to be in the belly of the beast, do you have access to stowaway's regular menu of food and drinks too?

    Not to my knowledge; the speakeasy has their own specific drink & food menus.

    Is this place kid friendly?

    No. It's meant for adults to be transported to another place, and forget about their own kids for a brief moment.

    Do you have Happy hour?

    Yes M-F. They have food and drink specials.

    Hi there! I was wanting to see if I was able to get a party of 3 on the waitlist for today, 8/24?…

    They currently show 99-129 minutes wait time.

    What is the maximum number of people you can accommodate in one party?

    Hi! We accept general reservations for a maximum of 8 guests. If you have a larger group, please email us and we would love to assist!

    Can a group of 9 be accommodated?

    Yes! Please contact us at hello@stowawaytiki.com. Thanks!

    I have a party of 7 people, but one of them is my 7 yr old grandson, are children allowed?

    Aloha!! Yes we are 100% family friendly!

    Are toddlers allowed at magic brunch?

    Hi! We are an all ages, family friendly space!

    Is there a happy hour?

    Yes! Monday through Friday from opening until 6!

    Do they serve mocktails?

    Yes we do! And we can cater our mocktail to your preferred tastes!

    Are the "for 3-4 thirsty people" fishbowl/shareable drinks available yet?

    Hi! At this time we only offer the Scorpion Bowl (ON FIRE!) for a shared punch bowl

    Since they serve food, are kids allowed?

    Yes! Kids of all ages (even the big kids) are welcomed! We only have an age restriction for bar seating.

When making reservations a $25 deposit is required per person but will be applied to your bill day of visit. The hostess was very kind upon check in and took us to the back where the 46 door is. She provided us a code and explained the time limit along with house rules. We were then told to knock on the door and proceed with the experience. Kudos to the owner as this is the only speakeasy in the OC that has a true speakeasy feel entrance. They had a gentleman open the peephole and ask for the entry code. Once we said the code we entered a really cool mine shaft area. The attention to detail was on point and I was impressed! We were then taken upstairs to a private bar where there are four tables of four so a max of 16. This makes sense as to why reservations are hard to come by. The only ding about seating is you are sat with strangers it is not a private table. Luckily we had a fun older couple at our table so it made the conversation more lively. Otherwise don't go here with an expectation of an intimate/ private date night. They also offer a limited food menu but looked very promising. However, we were here for a night cap so just dabbled in drinks. The bartender had a seasonal menu of 4 cocktails he created. He explained the drinks and then had us try each one with a straw. We then placed our order based on what we liked. He did say if we were not a fan he could create us our own personal cocktail as well. The old fashion he created was phenomenal! Overall, a cool little spot in the OC. Do wish they were open later as they do close at 11pm on Friday and Saturday.

The fresh wasabi was an excellent subtle pairing for this dish, not at all spicy, just added the perfect herbal undertones Fiddleheads and speck was the most disappointing, it felt like something was missing, perhaps it was the low acidity in comparison to the other dishes. The fiddleheads also had an difficult astringency to them and was essentially 95% fiddlehead to 5% speck. The spring onion pancake was also disappointing - ours was soggy which made the soft on soft falvors with the trout schmear not so appetizing. Flavor was good but we wanted more textural contrast. Iberico pork secreto was delicious - an amazing piece of meat. This, however, could benefit again from a more flavorful sauce. We ended up dipping this meat into the tom yum cucumber sauce above (see other wayward comment above). We finished with the red bean cinnabon dessert hich was tasty - not too sweet, although we wished the red bean flavor came through more. It comes beautifully presented in its own mini skillet. Unfortunately, the pieces that naturally stuck to the side in the skillet had a pretty strong metallic aftertaste that was quite unpleasant. Would not order this again unless the plateware was changed.

    Our party of 18 had such an amazing experience at QUA today! Since it was our first time dining…read morehere, we honestly didn't know what to expect, but everything exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. We were pleasantly surprised that they gave us a private room, which made the atmosphere even better since we were able to enjoy our own space and privacy. The reservation process was also very organized and thoughtful. They asked ahead of time how many kids were in our party, whether we needed high chairs or boosters, and even had kids' utensils ready at the table before we arrived. They also called a couple of days before to confirm our reservation, which we really appreciated. The drinks were delicious and the food was great across the board. Huge kudos to our server, Ryanne! She was absolutely awesome handling such a large group, especially with 7 kids. She was attentive, helpful with all our needs, and constantly checked in on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was going well. At the end of our meal, the manager was kind enough to offer us a complimentary dessert after noticing a small error on our bill, which really showed how much they care about customer service. Overall, we were all extremely satisfied with our experience at QUA today. We'll definitely be back and will absolutely recommend it to our family and friends!

    I spent my 21st birthday here and it was a great experience. What truly made it was the service…read morethat we received from Adrian and Sergio. They were absolutely wonderful and made great drinks. This was a truly memorable experience and the beef tartare was so good. If you're looking for good food, drinks, and a great atmosphere I highly recommend the blind rabbit and will be here again.

    Found this place while searching for local cocktail bars close to the Anaheim Convention Center…read more It's located on the lower level of the Anaheim Packing District, which is made up of multiple businesses spread across a few different buildings. The Blind Rabbit is in building B (I think... 2 story building right off the main road). A reservation is highly recommended, as this spot can only hold about 30 people. As I went alone, my reservation was for a bar seat, which was cool as I was able to watch the bartenders make lots of very cool shaken and stirred drinks. This place serves absinthe drinks plus absinthe served the traditional way (cold water on sugar cube into the alcohol). I did not try that, but was tempted. My pineapple old fashioned (Retired Old Man was what Sergio (bartender) told me) was very tasty. The Tamerand Marg with mezcal that I tried next was just okay (should have stuck with the whiskey!). The ambience is great, but it is quite dark inside. Use the light under the bar top to read the menu. There is food available. I tried the crabcake and thoroughly enjoyed it! If you go looking for the entrance, look for the "boxes" stacked against the wall and the black bunny handle (next to a hostess station that may/may not be staffed). Photos were highly discouraged, so I respected their wishes and just enjoyed the moment. I hope you enjoy it too!
