10 Best Bars in Newport

“My wife and I traveling the NW, stopped inti Barge Inn Tavern, and had a great time sitting at the bar chit chatting with patrons and bartenders and chef, all good people there. Loved the tall blonde that was bartending, and also sold use two of their t-shirts. It's been over a year since our visit but hope to return someday. Sorry for the late review 😎“

“Wonderful place out of Newport 4 miles up Bay Road. Clean fun! You will feel right at home.“

“We visited in 2018 while on a cross country camping trip. I never wrote a review but we often talk about how good our meal was. Very generous offerings. We shared a crab cocktail that was loaded with crab and the ciopinno & pasta. I chatted with the chef/owner about the ol submarine steamers. Found the place on a whim as we were walking by and some folks sitting out front waiting for them to open lured us in. So glad we did! We are 3000 miles away now but hope to get back that way someday.“

“(8/26 visit-Wed. & Fri. early evening; tourist months)

This place was one of the favorite stops on our week trip to Newport. We enjoyed it so much on the first visit, we stopped back in on a Friday night and maybe enjoyed it even more!

I think the shining gem is the ambiance, for sure! SUPER cozy and warm locals vibe. Lighting is perfect. Atmosphere is lively without being over the top. 2 TVs placed without being front and center. Bar top is just perfect...long bar-top and AWESOME custom seats! This is an order-from-the-bar-spot, so take heed; there is no table service.

Next would be beer and food. They only had 3 of their own brewed beers there, but had an eclectic and diverse selection of beer, Cider and N/As as well. All three of their beers were great, but I REALLY loved the Berlinerweisse. The Woodruff flavor was recommended and I am still thinking about that beer two weeks later-hahaha. SO good. Also worth noting: they have a small spirits selection and DO make cocktails as well!

Food is a unique, pub-grub-sandwich-and munchies menu- perfect for the size of the place and small kitchen. The best part, is they were fairly priced and of good value. We sampled the artichoke dip, nacho dip, pretzel basket, grilled cheese, Ruben puff pastry, and Cuban Sammy over the course of two visits. All were tasty and perfect for our appetites. The Cuban was our favorite overall- it was surprisingly LEGIT!

This place is kid-friendly until 9pm, and there is a back game room area (w/seating) and outdoor seating that is great for accommodating families. This was a perfect refuge from the tourist havens and corporate spots- it saved us on a Friday night at 7pm, when the tourist traps are packed. It gave us an amazing 2 hours with a relaxed vibe before their own locals rush started!

Service wasnt overly friendly, but prompt, efficient and patient through menu questions. It was much appreciated. Dont miss this locals place- such a fantastic spot in Newport!“

“best clam chowder on the Oregon coast Tristan and Travis are top notch bartender and waiter. food is excellent I don't know where some of these stupid bad reviews came from but this place is off the hook for sure. come down and get some food. excellent Services and great atmosphere“

“Great music and atmosphere - but best of all its own community of customers that’s more like family“

“Try the bacon cheeseburger. It is awesome! Really good service.“

“My family and I went to the Coast to celebrate me turning 30. Before we left town- we stopped and had sweatshirts made and then went to Sea Lion Dockside bar for coffees and to peek at the Sea Lions. Two hours after leaving- I realized I left my sweatshirt on a table and was immediately upset with myself. I decided to send a message, asking if they could look to see if my sweatshirt was there. They immediately replied with a photo of my sweatshirt still in the bag. I asked if they could send it to me and I would pay for it- I was so grateful when they said yes- but the best part is the offered to cover shipping cost and even sent me some coffee!! These people are so kinda and the coffee is so good! Now I have my sweatshirt and a bag coffee to go with it- all thanks to their kind hearts and generosity ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Tia was an amazing bartender, no matter how many people kept piling in she did it ALL which was extremely impressive to watch! Loved that we could also meet the owner on the night we were there. Super cool atmosphere, literally everything we had was great. A million stars!“

“Great Chowder. Best Halibut and Chips I’ve found yet!!“
