Pour Judgement

Local dive bar with great service and some great pub type food. The taps aren't as good as they used to be and are smaller more expensive pours of the higher ABVs. Better food and taps up the street.

Patty and I stopped in for lunch Friday after the 'Newport walk'. We were very thirsty. I found 2 beers I have not had before. We had fast service from the ladies working there. The food was the usual bar offerings.

Small spot right in downtown. Bar on the left with a limited amount of tables on the right. I didn't count all of the beers on tap but there's a lot. Rotating stock. There's always a beer for somebody. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Food is outstanding! Prices are a little steep, but it's tourist season in Newport. I'll have to some back sometime during the off season. Definitely work going!!!

Nice long bar in downtown Newport. Reasonably big taplist with a few nice RI beers. No flights or small pours though, which is really a deal breaker for me at this point. Friendly service. Worth a stop if you’re spending the night or a bunch of hours in Newport.

A very good bar overall. The tap selection is solid, but certainly not outstanding. They have a small selection of local/regional breweries, some national craft stuff and then some (I seem to recall) macro as well. The food, though, is outstanding and really good value. I had the hot pastrami sandwich and I also tried my wife’s grilled cheese; both were superb - classic pub grub, and really well made. The prices on beers were fair as well. Friendly and pretty efficient service. Has kind of an ’upscale dive bar’ feel to it, if you catch my drift.

Newport doesn’t have a lot in the way of beer destinations, so if you find yourself in town this is a very good option - especially for a meal with your beer.

It is small and often crowded. The draft selection somewhat limited. The service is good. The taps are not as exciting as they used to be.

Good, standard pub. A few good local drafts, some solid food (my crab, avocado, & bacon sandwich was quite tasty), and while the service wasn’t friendly per se, they were at least fast and competent.

Small narrow pub. With good burgers and a nice beer selection. Rather crowdy on a sunday afternoon. Friendly and fast service and fair prices.

Visited on a busy Sunday afternoon, and we had burgers with fries and some nice beers to go with the food. Service was quick, jokingly and friendly. It’s a narrow and long room with seating for around forty people, and there’s also room for approx twenty people at the bar. Some not so interesting beers on tap, but quite a few good ones too.

An overall good restaurant/bar in the center of things on a busy pedestrian street, downtown Newport. The waiter mixed our food up but I did not mind the dish I had. There was a fair but small beer selection.
