Bookings

Eat & Drink Newcastle History walk is bookable for private groups of 4 people or more. Please contact us to book!

What we'll do

Enjoy a delicious exploration of 3 of Newcastle's best and classiest bars. On a beautiful peninsula between the harbour & the sea, Newcastle can be hard to navigate, even for locals. We’ll show you some of Newcastle's most interesting, hard to find places.

What we'll learn

The tour is packed with interesting stories from Newcastle's night time economy to keep you informed and entertained. From Newcastle's convict settlers to more recent liquor licence changes, Newcastle has been at the forefront to many changes that have shaped Australia. You’ll learn about sailor's woes, the six o'clock swill, and social and urban changes over the last 200 years.
