This award-winning bar with speakeasy vibes has an underground allure that makes it a stand-out on the Newcastle bar scene. To access Coal and Cedar, guests are required to text a special code to a number on the wall at the entrance, giving you access to an old-fashioned prohibition-style bar. Once inside, discover a huge selection of whiskies and cocktails mixed by expert bartenders. Seating fewer than 60 people in an ambient exposed brick space styled with chandeliers and curious ornaments, the small bar is a fun spot to sip and savour a well-made drink.
