Welcome to bombies
Welcome to Bombies—where Freshwater’s wild energy and Harbord Hotel’s beachside heart come together in a scene that’s anything but ordinary.
Inspired by the fierce, unpredictable spirit of bomboras, those rogue waves that surge from nowhere, Bombies is all about seizing the unexpected, the unstoppable, the “let’s stay a little longer” moments that can’t be planned.
Up here, the conditions are always perfect: epic food and views overhead, burgers sizzling, and a music lineup that pulses with the best of Australia’s homegrown talent.

This isn’t just a bar; it’s where live music meets surf culture. Bombies champions sounds that hit like waves—from acoustic sets at sunset, to roof-shaking beats after dark, bringing the best of local and international artists to Freshwater. And soon, the Attic Studio will open just above, carving out space for local and international artists to record where the beach meets the beat.

At Bombies, we live for the now. Whether it’s spontaneous dance-offs under an open sky or strangers sharing a laugh over a crab sambo and spicy margy, the vibe is unfiltered, unapologetic, and always ready for more. Just like Harbord Hotel, Bombies is about that special Freshwater feeling—a place where thrill meets chill, and the night rolls on as long as you do.
