I cannot recommend this place enough!! It is a little hard to find one of the entrances which is inside of a parking garage, but the other entrance is near the harbor shuttle and ferry landing. The drinks and food are reasonably priced and cheap in comparison to the other bars and restaurants nearby. The pingpong table is a must!

Good food, great space with indoor and outdoor options. The best Sunset. Games both on the tvs and to play in person - foosball, pool, etc. young crowd but big enough to spread out and bring kids.

Charly Hillman

Ping pong, pool table, darts, ~8 TVs, beautiful waterfront view. You can park your dingy here, if you anchored. It's a public dinghy parking.

Great bar with a fine selection of pub food, and a view that can't be beat! Afternoons are quieter and there is plenty of range in the crowd, but later in the evenings it is a younger crowd. The staff is excellent and service is quick. Stop in for a drink, settle in to one of the many deck chairs, and just enjoy the great view!

Eric Jonathan Martin

Love this place. Adirondacks on the deck looking out at the water. Very casual for Newport, pool table, ping pong, pubby vibe. Tucked away out of the wind. Best place for the sunset, THE spot for a drink with a view.
