When you think of dining out, “lockup” might not be the first word that comes to mind. But at Fremantle’s newest hot spot, Moon & Mary, that’s exactly where you’ll find yourself—though this time, it’s with a cocktail in hand and a menu full of modern Asian delights to explore.
Located in a building with a history as rich as its menu, Moon & Mary takes you on a journey back to Fremantle’s early days. The space, once an old lockup where convicts served their time, has been transformed into a vibrant, must-visit venue by the same creative minds behind Miss Chow’s. But don’t worry—you’ll be dining like a queen, not a convict.

But it doesn’t stop there. Moon & Mary has taken two of the original prison cells and turned them into private dining and “experience” rooms, adding an exclusive edge to your visit. And with an in-house distillery, an intimate bar inspired by a speakeasy, and a lively beer garden, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy your time at this one-of-a-kind venue.
