About Us

A hidden green doorway on North College Avenue. Step inside and you'll discover Discretion Underground, Newton's speakeasy, created by husband-and-wife team Jeff and Laurie Roberts.

Known for their popular café at Hickory Furniture Mart, the Roberts dreamed of bringing something different to downtown: a place where people can slow down, sip well-crafted cocktails, and enjoy real conversation.

Every detail reflects their vision: reclaimed materials, vintage décor, intimate seating, and the soft hum of jazz. The menu celebrates timeless classics, North Carolina wines, craft beers, and refreshing cocktails & mocktails, each served with care.

Whether you're stopping in for a quiet drink or want to listen to live music in a speakeasy environment, Discretion Underground is more than a bar — it's Newton's new gathering place, designed by locals who love their community.
