Newy’s Newest<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Newcastle’s recent reincarnation as the go-to city for gourmands and a haven for lovers of fine wine,\u00a0<\/div>\n
boutique beer and lively entertainment has been fuelled by the opening of a raft of eclectic new venues\u00a0<\/div>\n
and a unique mix of offbeat attractions.\u00a0<\/div>\n
A number of Newcastle’s new venues have quickly become firm favourites on the food and wine scene, while the\u00a0<\/div>\n
list of hotspots slated to open in the coming months is growing longer by the day.\u00a0<\/div>\n
On the food front, Newcastle is renowned for its gastro pubs and fine dining restaurants, seaside eateries and bars\u00a0<\/div>\n
and bistros housed in unusual and historic buildings.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Some of the more recent openings which have made a splash include:\u00a0<\/div>\n
Craft & Co Burgers is a local treasure in a stunning waterfront location, popular with visitors of all ages (they\u00a0<\/div>\n
make a mean milkshake) who love supremely tasty burgers made from locally sourced ingredients. Sample more\u00a0<\/div>\n
than 25 varieties of craft beer, or take your pick from the diverse range of wines and ciders whether your burger\u00a0<\/div>\n
craving hits at midday, or midnight.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Effortlessly blending history, local food and eclectic art, 5 Sawyers is a true reflection of the unique village vibe\u00a0<\/div>\n
of the Cooks Hill district. Situated alongside cool cafes and chic boutiques on Darby Street, this is the spot to\u00a0<\/div>\n
enjoy fresh, in-season regional produce cooked in a traditional way \u2013 with a modern twist.\u00a0<\/div>\n
The Grain Store Craft Beer Caf\u00e9 sits in a beautifully restored warehouse in Newcastle’s East End food and caf\u00e9\u00a0<\/div>\n
precinct. Oozing character and style with soaring ceilings, Art Deco d\u00e9cor and rustic timber floors, this was the\u00a0<\/div>\n
original grain and keg storage facility for Tooheys’ Newcastle Depot. With 21 beers on tap, a glorious hidden\u00a0<\/div>\n
outdoor courtyard and a casual all-day menu with plenty of plates to share over a pint, the Grain Store has quickly\u00a0<\/div>\n
made its mark.<\/div>\n
Another top spot to share a drink \u2013 and a bite \u2013 is the Squires Maiden which serves contemporary and classic\u00a0<\/div>\n
dishes to wash down with an exceptional range of authentic craft beers, often while enjoying live entertainment.\u00a0<\/div>\n
When it comes to caf\u00e9 culture, Newcastle has plenty of claim to discovering the secrets of a perfect brew.\u00a0<\/div>\n
King Street’s Saluna Caf\u00e9 is a fabulous spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch, seriously good coffee, gluten-free and\u00a0<\/div>\n
vegan treats and superfood smoothies; while Fusion Gourmet Bites and Coffee in Hunter St is renowned for its\u00a0<\/div>\n
satisfying salads and wraps.2<\/div>\n
For something utterly unique, check out The Social, a community space in Newcastle’s West End serving Cuban\u00a0<\/div>\n
house blends made using a variety of old school techniques to be enjoyed over a game of dominoes or a lively\u00a0<\/div>\n
chat, just like they do back in Cuba.\u00a0<\/div>\n
For those breaks in between caf\u00e9 hopping and waterfront dining, Newcastle boasts a number of key new\u00a0<\/div>\n
attractions, ensuring that those who’ve visited in the past always have something fresh and enticing to explore on\u00a0<\/div>\n
their return.\u00a0<\/div>\n
To experience historic Watt St in a whole new light, visit after dark to enjoy City Evolutions, a landmark\u00a0<\/div>\n
contemporary art project featuring interactive digital projections on the magnificent buildings of Newie’s oldest\u00a0<\/div>\n
street nightly, from sunset. Watts on Watt is a new calendar of events scheduled for the heart of the city which\u00a0<\/div>\n
includes night markets, free outdoor concerts and under the stars movie screenings.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Newcastle Walking Tours (NWT) offer guided visits to City Evolutions, as well as a number of other fascinating<\/div>\n
itineraries where you’ll get the inside scoop on the city’s history and architecture from local tourism guru Louise\u00a0<\/div>\n
Raux. The latest addition to the NWT schedule is a Wine Bar Walk, introducing participants to the city’s latest\u00a0<\/div>\n
and greatest boutique bar openings.\u00a0<\/div>\n
The perennially popular Newcastle Ghost Tours has just added torchlight tunnel tours of iconic Fort Scratchley\u00a0<\/div>\n
to its schedule. Join a tour in August or November to hear tales of mischief, malice, mayhem and murder as your\u00a0<\/div>\n
guides reveal the dark underbelly of Australia’s second oldest city.\u00a0<\/div>\n
To explore the world’s largest coal export harbour up close, join Moonshadow Cruises’ Newcastle Harbour\u00a0<\/div>\n
Sights and Sounds Cruise and learn about the working waterfront from the comfort of one of three wellequipped decks, complete with complimentary morning tea.\u00a0<\/div>\n
And the new venues keep on coming in Newie, with several new wine bars and bistros set to open in the near\u00a0<\/div>\n
future in the West End. Beloved caf\u00e9 One Penny Black will expand its horizons here and serve wine and\u00a0<\/div>\n
boutique beer along with its famous coffee and tasty treats, while a New York style sandwich bar with a\u00a0<\/div>\n
basement bar and lounge is planned further along Hunter Street.\u00a0<\/div>\n
