Foghorn Brewery was born of a dream to make craft beer the way it ought to be made—from grain to glass all under one roof.The historic building in King Street had been abandoned for several years when we first set foot inside. In that dusty old warehouse, we saw the potential to create something really special.And so it was that Newcastle’s first modern craft brewery opened its doors in April 2015. The town’s industrial roots have played a big part in shaping the unique character of Foghorn Brewery. Built from the ground up, this art deco era warehouse with exposed roof trusses now houses a custom 1800 litre brewery.

    I had my 70th birthday celebration with my family at this delightful Cafe. The staff couldn't be more helpful and very pleasant. There was 25 of us and they handled this number really well. The deck was an excellent spot. We had young ones who could also enjoy the playground. We brought a large cake which they cut up expertly for us. Several of my relatives hadn't known of First Light and commented that they will be back. Overall an excellent experience which made my birthday memorable!

    Really enjoyed the food here. Top notch Chinese food in the heart of Newcastle. Our server was informative and attentive.m One small issue - both the Hoisin sauce for the roast duck and the oyster sauce for the vegetables appeared to have been watered down and therefore lost a lot of flavour. Would certainly go back here though
