A New Chapter Begins

After 44 years, The Cross Keys Hotel is coming home.

Located on the corner of Maitland Road and Elizabeth Street in the heart of Tighes Hill.
Built by locals, for locals, The Cross Keys Hotel your new go-to for great food, 24 taps of quality drinks, and good times with family and friends.

Built on Community

We’re a family-run business with deep roots in the area, passionate about creating a welcoming space where everyone feels at home. Whether it’s a relaxed weeknight dinner, a long lunch with friends, or a celebration with the whole family, The Cross Keys is designed to bring people together.

This exciting new chapter comes from the same team behind The Grain Store — a name locals already know and trust for quality, service, and atmosphere.

Stay a Little Longer

The Cross Keys Hotel will also offer overnight accommodation, making it easy to host visiting family, stay comfortably during work trips to Newcastle, or enjoy a well-earned Tighes Hill getaway. Thoughtfully designed rooms will combine comfort, convenience, and classic pub charm. (COMING SOON)

Let’s Make New Memories

The Cross Keys Hotel has always been about connection, community, and shared stories. As we reopen our doors, we can’t wait to welcome old friends and new faces alike.

Here’s to new memories, new traditions, and the next chapter of The Cross Keys Hotel.
