Stopped in for some lunch and a sample of there beers. I got bored before I sat down. This a very ho-hum brewpub. Two different fruit-flavored wheat beers is usually a bad sign. The beers were okay, drinkable, but nothing interesting. I did have a very nice Lobster roll, but the fries that came with weren’t worth it. The waitstaff was pleasant and friendly. Again, considering the general lack of a craft beer scene in the region, this is pretty much your only choice. Again, to me, surprisingly expensive.

This run-of-the-mill brewpub offers lots of sessionable beers (the strongest was 5% abv!) that are all cleanly made and drinkable. The decor isn’t much to look at and the food is also nothing memorable (the lobster club was okay), so I wouldn’t recommend a beer lover to make a detour to come here, but then again nothing we had there was flawed. If I were to come back through these parts, I’d come in for a pint of English Mild.

We visited here after a day trip to Newport. We were very pleased with the overall experience of this brewpub. My wife and I sampled a few of the beers. While they may not have been at the top of their categories, they were certainly decent enough. My wife and I both opted for seafood while we were here, and we were not dissapointed. She opted for the stuffed shrimp and I went for the stuffed scallops. They make their own stuffing here which was excellent. They also had a decent enough kids menu for my daughter. The decor was a little bland, but then again they weren’t trying for the expensive ambiance.

Was not impressed with this place. The ambiance was ok nothing to write home about. Service sucked our waitress was usless. Selection is what they brew and what they brew is not very good. Food was your typical bar food. Good prices. I got seven 7oz flight of their beers for only $12.75. But not one of them were amazing. Visit if you are in the area with nothing to do but dont go out of your way.

Nice, clean attractive place, if a little bland looking. The servers were very pleasant, and prompt. The selection was comprised of seven beers in season at the time. The beer selections were diverse, and the beer is certainly very enjoyable, if not necessarily world class. The food was excellent, with a diverse menu, from standard pub fare to more traditional American fare. I felt for the food and the sampler, the price was reasonable, if not a bargain. Overall, a decent place. Certainly worth patronizing. I would certainly come back here if I return to this area.

Nice seat in front of the Brew house. Service was pleasant and our server was prompt and very helpful. Gave me a stack of coasters-very nice. She even looked up the phone number for Newport Storm! brewery! Food was great and beer was very good, fresh and well carbonated. Liked the Irish Red. Passed on the growler but they were available. Quiet and a relaxed atmosphere.

A bit of a drive for me (40 minutes) but worth checking out. Small pub setting with a separate bar area with a nice large screen TV over the bar. Good beers brewed on the premises on tap and they have growlers available. They had seven beers with the sample platter, which are all good but if you want a really wide selection you are out of luck. The food was really good bar fare and not too expensive, especially for fresh seafood dishes (mostly fried but oh so good!). Great service and very clean. Will go back when I’m in the area.

I love this place. If I lived just a little bit closer I’d basically live here. The beers they brew here and all excellent and the food is mostly always satisfying. If your in the area check it out. You won’t be let down.

Popular place wit the locals, and lots of tourists in the summer. Food is slightly above average, beer is ok, service on a whole is usually not that good, but there are a few employees who stand out and are great. They all seem to be boared and not enjoy working there, but are much moe pleasent when i tried to be pleasent with them. Place is clean, with wood panaling and old pictures of newport. One pool table near the bar, always pretty full on a friday or saturday night. Food and growlers seem a little over priced for what they serve, but the locals have the money for it. My most current visit i had another sampler tray and nachos, and watched the Celts game with a friend. If at the bar, try your best to avoid Jeff the customer. Best beer i had recently was the Winter Warmer.

I was very pumped to go to this place. I drove 30 mins to get a growler. I showed up the hostess was not very nice or helpful. I asked where to get a growler and she looked at me like I had 740 heads, she pointed the bar. Ok im sorry never been here before. Service was rude, the bar tender could care less about giving me a growler. I literally began to get frustrated with the rudeness of this place. On top of that the growlers were 12.00 , which was completely unexpected. The beer was actually only ok and nothing special. I dont mean to bash on this place, but this was an experience that really will hinder my return.
