9 Best Bars near Newbury

“WOW! Why haven't I been to this remarkable BBQ spot till last week??!!! This is a no frills place and I like it. It's literally right off the highway with ample parking. I came here on Friday and there was a little wait but it wasn't that long, maybe 15 min. They also do not take any reservations which is good because they want your whole party there before seating you. Now lets get down to the food.. McRib- Was sooo good! Kind of like the Mcdonalds one but way better and of course with real meat and super fresh. The pickles went very well with the pork. Pork belly & chicken tacos- These bad boys were the highlight for me. The pork belly was cooked so well and went well with the pork. I literally killed both of those tacos in less than 5 min lol. Chicken salad- Was huge... nothing to really write about its just chicken and salad lol. Trust me guys, give this place a try and you'll love it.“

“We love Sunset Club! From the moment we first dined here back in November 2021, we knew it was the perfect place to hold our event. We've been to eat multiple times and love the atmosphere and food- the veggie burger is delicious (even though we're not vegetarian) and the empanadas are always a hit! Staff is always friendly and the atmosphere can't be beat. Our large wedding went off without a hitch- the staff was *incredible*, the food was wonderful, and Sunset Club was easy to work with. All of our guests complimented the food, drink, staff, and environment. Even a rainy day was incredibly fun! We love Sunset Club and will be back whenever we're in the area!“

“Nestled in the heart of Newburyport, a culinary gem deserves every bit of this five-star rating. From the moment you step through the doors, you are enveloped in an ambiance of warmth and sophistication. The decor, as creative as the menu, sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.The service at Bar25 is exceptional; attentive without being intrusive, the staff anticipates your every need with a smile. The menu is an irresistible journey through a world of flavors and small plates, expertly crafted and beautifully presented.One standout dish is the signature grilled octopus, which was truly memorable. (And it's no easy feat to grill octopus perfectly!) Each additional small plate was equally sublime. Every bite was a harmonious symphony of taste and texture, a true delight for the senses. Chef Joseph Messina is a master of flavors, and this is a must-try restaurant for anyone who appreciates good food.Bar25 is a mixology bar serving a variety of impressive craft cocktails that elevate our already excited senses.Be prepared to be amazed, delighted, and fall in love with Bar25. As a side note, the restaurant has a cozy third floor dedicated to private parties and Thursday-night music.I, for one, cannot wait to return!“

“Really nice place. Didn’t eat but had a margarita pitcher then had a blackberry margarita. Real good drinks. The girl working the bar was extremely nice and made some good drinks I’d def come back. Hoping to be back for drinks on the patio during the summer“

“Dined at Seaglass for first time to celebrate my daughter's birthday. There were six of us. I gave it 4 stars vs 3 based on atmosphere, views and experience. Restaurant was not full on Friday night so we sat by the window. Views of the ocean and waves even at night are amazing. Restaurant itself has a great vibe and nice lighting. Food and service were not as great. Good for an average restaurant but for a $500 bill, I'd expect a higher level of service and food quality. Service was somewhat slow and not as attentive as you'd expect, but server was friendly and doing her best. Our group had a range of entrees from lobster rolls to filet and baked haddock. Lobster rolls were excellent, as was the burger. Haddock was just OK and catch of the day was average. Entrees only come with 1-2 small sides, no salads. I'd visit again for the views of the ocean and recommend sticking with a more basic entree for the price.“

“The place was busy only 2 or maybe 3 servers we waited 20 minutes and lisa the head chief came out and ask if we needed menu's and she also got us our drinks and also took our food order. The food was great and so was lisa.Thank you lisa your the best!“

“Sea Level is so great, just as high quality as the Salem counterpart. If you're craving seafood definitely go here. I was on the fence about getting the Poke bowl on their specials menu but I'm so glad I did get it, it really blew my mind!“

“Excellent atmosphere, drinks, and service! What a hidden gem that we are so glad we stumbled upon this past week. So sorry to hear that a developer who owns the strip this fun beach bar is located on will be tearing everything down to put up brand new condos. Where are the people who buy those condos going to go for fun? Please save The Dolphin! Music, game nights, and great atmosphere to hang out and enjoy the ocean views while meeting and mingling with some great people!!“

“Friendly staff and good food. Dine in or takeout. I usually stop in for takeout once a week or so. Food is always consistent. Located downtown on Central St. past couple years they've had outdoor curb side seating with propane heaters if that's your thing.“
