You’ll need to be in on a few secrets to visit Coal & Cedar. This hidden speakeasy has no signage and no doorbell. Instead, you’ll need to text a special code to a number on the wall and a host will open the door and usher you inside. Rest assured, it’s worth the effort, having just won Best Regional bar in Australia 2016.
Once inside, you’ll discover a moody, eclectic cocktail bar with an urban edge. Exposed brick walls and dark timber are complemented by dim lighting from vintage chandeliers. Holding fewer than 60 guests, it’s this old world ambience that sets Coal & Cedar apart from Newcastle’s bar scene.
Ethan and Ryan are the team behind the venture. In 2014, they packed their bags and moved from Sydney to the state’s largest regional city to work on their new dream bar. They found the perfect site on Hunter Street, which was just dingy enough to house a Prohibition-style speakeasy. Transforming the space with taxidermy, eccentric images and many a bottle of booze.
Great service and selection of food and drinks. Music was good selection but too loud to enable good conversation.

Absolutely outstanding service. Reeve’s knowledge of liquor didn’t cease to amaze. The ambience and vibes were what we were looking for on Valentine’s day for drinks. Most definitely will be back!!

Great for bar snacks, while enjoying cocktails. Nothing too substantial though. Ideal for pre-dinner.

I booked Coal & Cedar on Monday 27 January. Google says they are open 5pm-1am. The booking was for my partner’s birthday. We arrived at Coal & Cedar at 6pm. Doors are closed. Called and text. Eventually got a reply 30 minutes later saying they are closed due to the public holiday. The open table booking system should not have allowed the booking to go through if there was a public holiday shutdown
