The Coal Bunker Bar

Opening a bar and restaurant in the middle of a pandemic – you might call us crazy, and to be honest, you might be right!

As first years in business go, it has been a wild ride. Lockdown after lockdown, our doors were closed more often than they were open. But a year on, we feel like the hardship and heartbreak was worth it.

The Coal Bunker Bar has become a thriving hub of activity for the community and we’re proud to have become a go-to spot for locals and tourists alike. Groups of friends reuniting over a few drinks, families out for Sunday dinner, the local Active Retirement group stopping by for lunch, and sports fans popping in to watch the match – we welcome everyone here, and we can’t wait to welcome you too.

Great beer garden, great staff, top quality good at reasonable price. Plenty of parking. No negatives from this visit. All good. Would go back in a heart beat.

What a little gem this place is. Unassuming at first glance the Coal Bunker is a good honest eatery with plenty of choice and quality food. The set up for outside dinning is spot on. Staff are very attentive and service was fast. There were 4 empty plates at the end of our lunch. The crispy duck and the homemade burger were delicious and those hand cut fries... Larry and Emer who I think are the owners mingle with the customers and staff. More genuine and decent people you will not meet. Give this place a go. You won't regret it.
