45 Best Bars near Newport

“Such great bartenders Jules and Erin and a great atmosphere and great locals there“

“Named as one of the top dive bars in the country, Murph's is a bit less ragged and run down and a step up from some of the dives I've been in. It's clean, tastefully decorated, and spacious. You can immediately tell that this is a neighborhood bar, where the locals are all familiar with one another. There is ample space for pool, and the 360 degree wrap-around bar is a great touch. We only came in for beer, and I can report back that the draft beer is quite cold!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, great food & the music moves you! Check out this venue…stellar!“

“The owner, employees, and atmosphere are incredible. Everyone is kind and friendly and so very welcoming. If you like good drinks and company, definitely come to Twisted Irons! They all love dogs, too!“

“This place is one of my all time favorites. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, good music, fun events every night, good food at the food truck. The bartender with the green hair is especially sweet and attentive. This place quickly became my home bar.“

“The bartender Chloe (apologies for possible misspelling) is an absolute wonder. She is kind, funny, and remembers customers as well as their drinks. Awesome place!“

“I went to this place last week and it was definitely a really good experience. We had a get together and chose this place. We were 15 people in all and each one of us was paid attention by the staff. This was probably the best part of visiting this place. The food was also delicious and drinks were good as well“

“It’s the night before Christmas. My family just went through a traumatic experience and had enough. My husband and I searched everywhere for a bar. This bar was the only bar open for miles. The bar tender was very friendly. Served me a double of what I needed to forget my troubles. They don’t serve food though. But that’s ok.“

“We stopped in to Two Stones Pub at Kennett Sq after visiting Longwood Gardens. What a wonderful experience! The service was friendly and helpful and the food and craft beers were exceptional! The mushroom soup was the best we've ever had. Wish you had a location in Ft Myers FL!!! Thanks again!“

“Great atmosphere!! Great live music!!“

“Always be my family local bar. great regulars & guests. coldest beer in town, great jukebox & two pool tables. Go back to 1964, a simpler kinder time.“

“I've been commuting from VA everyday fr the past few weeks. Ended up working late and getting a room. Found this place after a did a quick Google maps search, and was IMMEDIATELY sold when a review said this bar reminded them of "Cheers".

BRIAN was the bartender when I came in. He was super welcoming and had great small talk. As someone who's never been here, he treated me like a regular.

CHARLIE, who prepared the food, also came out when he had time and was a pleasure to chat with. The food he made was really good.

The environment is what I look for in a bar. If I lived here, this would be my regular spot.. It's refreshing to find small places like this, where people care and build a welcoming environment. I'd come back, NO QUESTION! Cheers to another late work day!“

“Great food excellent service and fabulous atmosphere!! Highly recommend“

“Great friendly place for n people to hang out with“

“Best dive bar around with fantastic bartenders and great food!“

“Walking into this Trolley Square gem feels like a warm embrace! From the moment we stepped inside, the welcoming presence of Jacquline, our host, guided us to a comfortable table tucked away in the back. Her genuine friendliness set the perfect tone. Shortly after, the delightful Katie became our server, her pleasant demeanor immediately putting us at ease and smoothly starting our culinary journey. The menu boasted a tempting array of options, and we eagerly chose the kale Caesar, cornbread, and brisket mac and cheese to begin. Oh my goodness – each starter was an absolute revelation! For our main courses, my wife savored the delicate lamb gnocchi, while I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly cooked salmon. Neither dish disappointed; they were both executed flawlessly. A thoughtful touch was Katie finding me a delicious non-alcoholic beer, a real treat since I don't drink. To conclude our exceptional meal, we shared a lemon pound cake that was simply divine. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this wonderful spot in Trolley Square. Everything, from the ambiance to the exquisite food and the extraordinary service, was truly on point.“

“Comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Pool Tables and many classic pinball machines to play! Juke Box filled with cool music for all. Owners and Day/Night Bartenders are wonderful! Really tasty food! Hot and Cold menu choices! Love the place more than home! ✌️👍👍✌️“

“We went out for St Patrick’s Day festivities, and to watch Dickens & Ballsworth. Our first time at Finnegan’s and we will be back!“

“A dope dive bar where a lot of different folk come together to forget about the outside world and have a few drinks over a game or two of pool. There’s tons of bar space and table seating which makes the walkway quite skinny, so be prepared to be bumping shoulders and hips with the patrons all night. Honestly the back wall being full of TVs is kind of hilarious and doesn’t fit the vibe but who cares. Didn’t get the bartender’s name with the tattoos but that guy was really cool. Bring the lads here.“

“Great place to watch the games or to just hang out and throw back some drinks. Friendly bartenders.“

“Our only issue was that they had NO MILK to make us any coffees! This was before 19:30 not at last orders.“

“Awesome little local bar with the best bartender (Bob's da man!) Great place to play darts, can't say much for pool bc always too many people over there but hey that's to be expected at a place whose sign clearly says Billiards... y'all need to be patient.“

“the food and drinks were incredible but the staff was even better. I had lost or had my wallet stolen last night and the staff there took time out of their shift to get on their hands and knees and help me look. the manager was very helpful and pulled the camera footage quickly and we went through it together. Thank you Letty’s Staff for everything“

“I like when Larry hugs me and when a crowd gathers around me at the foosball table because I'm so good.“

“Locals spot, but welcoming to everyone. Isn't the most glamorous, but I guarantee that you'll feel at home.“

“Whenever I need to unwind and I’m in Delaware, I come here. It’s like “Cheers” for my people. I’m in my zone, playing the jukebox, chatting with the regulars, and having a Jack. The owner “Lady” is the realest lady I know, she’s a mentor to many and a force in the community.“

“After searching for Mexican Food that tastes like home (Northern California), we finally found it! We had to drive 85 miles to get here but we will be back. ❤️❤️“

“If you want good food/service/drinks/atmosphere? This is the place you want to be. Date night? Game night? Both? This is the one stop shop for going out“

“I have been there 4 times already I absolutely love this place . I get the cinnamon french toast oh my goodness it is so good. I could not put my fork down . Everything was excellent!!! My new breakfast and lunch spot!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Cold beer and good food 😊. the staff is great.“

“This was my first time visiting, and honestly, I thought it might be my last. But as I was driving home, I couldn’t help but think, I’m definitely coming back here again.

Cassandra was fantastic! You can see her mom’s guidance shining through. Once she gets everything down packed, she’s going to be an outstanding bartender.

She’s new to the game, so let's cut her slack and try not to be an asshole. We all make mistakes—that’s how we grow.“

“Small location for the licals to hang out and shoot pool.They don't serve food (maybe they did in the past?). But they allow you to bring food in. Bartenders are great with outgoing personalities (twin sisters).Great place to grab drink with buddies.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Halftime Sport Bar in Newark, Delaware! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, perfect for catching a game or unwinding after work. The service is top-notch, and their menu offers a great selection of drinks and tasty bites. Definitely a five-star spot!“

“It's got pool tables, if you like to shoot, the staff is friendly -ish. It's a good atmosphere. A couple of the bartenders are okay, they are kind of slow and not very customer service friendly, but other than that I don't have any issues here and everyone seems pretty laid back.“

“atmosphere, reasonable drink prices and the owner is handsome 😊“

“I was NOT disappointed! I decided to come here for a Saturday lunch after scrolling through the options in Wilmington. I was able to find parking on the street easily. I walked in, sat at the bar right away and was quickly greeted with a friendly bartender. I was super excited to see that they have Leinie’s on tap! As a Wisconsin native I couldn’t pass up the Leinie’s Juicy Peach sour. It was a great and refreshing drink. I also enjoyed the French Onion Soup. It came out piping hot and was perfect. I am glad I made it here and will definitely be back!“

“A great venue, not far from the UD campus right on the river. Good food at decent prices. Their upstairs venue space is awesome. We are there monthly for the Vanguard Event and they go out of their way with custom drinks and great service. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Everything is phenomenal, wings, pizza, salad, burgers, steaks, fries, drinks, All.“

“went there tonight for the first time in a long time and the cheese steak was amazing. Like I need to go there more often for the food!“
