Great little place with outstanding views of the busy street life and a nice outdoor seating area as well. Best wings in Newport for sure, and excellent calamari as well. Waitress was super efficient and friendly. Highly recommend

DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR BUSINESS I was kicked out for having my assistance dog with me. I am paralyzed from the chest down and use a wheelchair full time. My service dog allows me to be more independent when in public. I was immediately kicked out and spoken to like less than a human, in front of a ton of people. This was humiliating and totally uncalled for, not to mention illegal discrimination as per federal and state law. I used to love this place but I will not ever go back. Thanks for a truly horrible experience.

Lively watering hole in the summer. This is an old New England joint so don t expect anything fancy, from the food to the service. The owners and servers are friendly though usually hard to flag down. Great beer battered onion rings. Unsure if there is actual table or drink service outside in back as I ve been told to go back there a number of times and never once saw anyone but locals playing games and smoking cigarettes. Cozy in winter. A place to get drunk, and not too cheaply. Irish bangers and mash were ok, but the mashed potatoes were of questionable origin/ preparation. A cool landmark to visit it Newport, but nothing to cry over if you miss it. Irish music Sunday evenings.

There's always a Irish pub somewhere around the corner somewhere in the world, this one however is pretty rad. They have tons of live sports on the telly, even Rugby!
They have a great outside area. The food is good and the curry fries is a winner too! Great place! 5 stars!

Manager is terrible and extremely rude. If your bill is wrong and you ask about it, they assume you want free drinks or something. Swore at my boyfriend and yelled at him saying "there is no way you got charged twice... what are you trying to accomplish from this" when him and my sister approached him about a mistake he made when charging us for drinks.

We never said we got charged twice, but he ended up charging the wrong card and said there is nothing they can do right now....and that it would take an hour to refund it and recharge the other card. If a customer says there is an issue with their bill, as a manger, you should take a second and listen to what is wrong, rather than assuming we want something free and swearing at us. The other bartender working was waaaay more understanding and took 2 minutes to listen to us and figure out what went wrong.

They also seem to keep your card on file most of the time (even when they give it back to you when you say you want it closed). They also put a hold on your card for $10.00 in addition to the drinks you buy even if it's over their "$20 minimum for cards".

Plenty of other bars in newport with way better customer service... Don't go here.

I have been here twice. The first time I did not tip on card and got charged an extra $9. The second time I made sure to take a picture of my receipt after I tipped, totaled and signed (Before I only took one before signing) I only tipped $10 totaling myself to $120, not $130 which they ultimately charged me for. The phone number is out of service when I try to call. I am disgusted at the fact that this happened not once but twice.
