Why The North Coal? The concept was created by the feeling of being away from city life with family and friends. For us, that’s Northern Ontario, but as lucky as we are to experience that way of life, not everyone is. Our mission is to provide that feeling regardless of your surroundings.

Located in the heart of Downtown Burlington, The North Coal is the perfect place for Summer Drinks, Family Dinners or just a place to kick back with your friends after a long week!

    My favourite Friday night place. This past Friday was perfect! Kayla, our server , is super sweet and friendly. Always a pleasure. Their fiero Marg is one of my all time favourite drinks. Appies were fresh and yummy. Can’t wait to be there for St Paddy’s day next week for some live music

    Ordered Brussel Sprouts, Duck Taco and Gnocchi.. Sprouts too sweet, no acid or salt...bland..wasctold that they are training new kitchen and thanks fir feedback, and our $$ no doubt... Gnocchi were bland. Taco were alright, but tiny- our servers words. duck good $22 for 4 of that size unexceptable. Service, average. Drinks average. Not great, not bad, not worth the hype

    Ordered steak frites. The fries were over cooked and the steak was cooked perfectly but seemed like it had been sitting before being delivered to the table so it was lukewarm. Overall great time though but a bit disappointed with my meal.
