The Porter's Stowaway Tavern is a bar at Montauk, New York ran by the Porter family. It was established by Carl Porter and has been run by his sons Jack and Declan Porter. When Carl's wife left them, the Porters began having money problems, so he had to sell their house and they have been living above their tavern ever since. The Bar is important to Jack, although he more than once contemplated to sell the bar for his and Declan's future: so Declan would have money for his studies and so he can finally sail away. Amanda lived with Jack until her death and worked as a bar tender there.
