“We and another couple took a short “road trip” to Newport Indiana. Newport is home to the annual Newport Antique Auto Hill Climb held each fall. It is always crowded for the weekend events. We drove over on a recent Saturday afternoon. The town was almost deserted, but the Newport Tavern was open for lunch. It is housed in an old building, but once inside we were surprised at how bright and modern it is. We were the only ones there. The young woman behind the bar was very friendly. She shared a bit of history about the town and the building. We saw a small sign with an arrow saying Beer Garden. We were not expecting to see such a large area under cover, complete with an outside bar, lots of seating, big ceiling fans, and stage for bands. We were told they serve food as well as beverages in the Beer Garden. I had a tenderloin sandwich that was huge. It was very tasty. My husband had a cheeseburger that he declared was “ really good!” The other couple shared a pizza. The restaurant itself is very clean. We will be back to listen to some of the different bands that are booked. If you enjoy flea markets, antique cars, and some really good bar food, come to the Newport Tavern during the Hill Climb.“

“Had supper there with my family last night. We called ahead and ordered for dine in and within 5 minutes of us arriving they had our order at our table. The pizza and breadsticks were delicious and the service was excellent. We have had their pizza many times and have never been disappointed.“

“We know that dates us. As youngsters we enjoyed the Noble Romans that was a stand alone restaurant in the Mall parking lot. As kids you could go up to the window and watch them throw pizzas. You had the full view of the kitchen and the goings on there. It is a similar set up with the kitchen being wide open to observe the action. We thought the atmosphere was decent. It was clean and quiet. We would give it four stars, not as we remembered exactly but had that modern flair. Not better but similar. 4 stars for atmosphere. The service was not great. Very slow to respond. Not sure why because it was well staffed. Seemed there was at least one staff member per customer while we were there. Still they were not attentive. Would rate the service on our trip 3 stars. The food was as remembered. We loved the breadsticks and nacho cheese sauce. We also enjoyed having a deep dish Sicilian Works pizza. It was like visiting a long lost friend. 4 stars for our food vote. It was a great value. We had an order of breadsticks and a medium deep dish Sicilian for $20 and change. 5 stars for this cheap eats place. Romantic Appeal was lacking for us. When we were younger this was a date place. Maybe we have aged but for us it was not appealing for a date place. More like a fast food enviornment. 3 stars for RA. The renown has seemed to waiver throughout the years. It seems to have slipped into midranged knowledge of this place. Just another pizza option here. For us it was always Arni's or Noble Romans. Maybe a trip over to Brunos if we wanted to go to campus. We give this place a 3.5 star renown. Overall we would give this place a solid 4 star rating. We still enjoyed us and we still enjoy the deep dish Sicilian pizza.“
