50 Best Bars near Narragansett

“Bon Vue was one of our “go to” bars for a couple beers and food, but disappointed recently at being charged $9 for a whalers rise draft on a Thursday afternoon, off season. For a dive bar, that’s excessive.“

“Ralph opened this place up in the middle of the pandemic with virtually no customer base. My friends and I randomly discovered it and were some of his first regulars, and we kept the lights on and helped him out through the winter. My favorite college bar when I was back at URI, and every college bar is a tough scene, if you can't handle it don't go. Ralph is a stand up gentleman“

“Went with my son last week for the first time and had the muscles and chicken wings, both of which were incredible. We brought home the mac and cheese, dumplings and seasonal bread pudding. Everything was fantastic. we agreed it is the best restaurant around. I went again tonight with my husband. We had the friend oyster appetizer special and filet, both of which were incredible. Debbie was our waitress, and she was absolutely fantastic. So friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!“

“Super nice staff, yummy food, on a deck by the sea. What more can you ask for? Well, for me, I could ask for a vegetarian entre. I chose this restaurant based on an old menu that showed eggplant parmesan. But that was last year’s menu. This year there are none. BUT the cook whipped up pasta primavera for me on request. We had fried pickles, coconut shrimp, beet and arugula salad, the pasta primavera, and a couple of cocktails. All were nicely prepared and delicious. I’ll add photos of the updated menu.“

“We were vacationing in Newport from Wisconsin and stopped in at Cappy’s. Sue the bartender was friendly and a wonderful bartender. The owner Joe, what can I say….what a guy! Joe saw us walking to our Airbnb and yelled at us on the street asking when we were headed back home. Joe is a gem of a bartender. He has a gift of gab and can hand out the bs too. Nice local establishment with friendly customers and bartenders. We had Dan as a bartender too and he was a friendly, great guy! This place reminds us of our local pub at home where everybody knows your name. Thank you for your great hospitality! It made our vacation so much more enjoyable. Thank you!! LuAnn & Steve“

“Great vibes.. awesome people“

“After reading these comments, I just had to chime in.

First off, if you are a sailor, this is your home away from home. You’ll meet other sailors with fantastic stories.

Secondly, if you are not use to the ball busting style of a RI bar tender, don’t come here. You won’t understand. (Hence the reviews from “out of towners.”). But, if you have a backbone and a respectful, yet smart mouth, you will be right at home.

Until next time, fair winds.“

“Come across this joint some years back. Honestly the best spot in Newport for seafood and drinks. Actually everything they cook is amazing. Raw bar is great as well. If you find yourself in the area and don't stop in....you suck. Seriously best spot in Newport“

“Delicious food and good portions . Service was good. Macy did a good job. Seating is a bit cramped in first room off the bar. We are slim athletic people and we barely had enough room even to open our menus!! We have been coming to the West Deck for 30 years and always had great meals. Reggie was very accommodating for reservations and fun to talk with!!“

“Always responsive, friendly, always going out of their way for special orders.“

“Only bar in town that had a crowd watching UConn!“

“Ruben was made with thick corned beef, spicy chicken sandwich was very good, but the seafood burger was mostly filler.....2 tiny pieces of shrimp, and one tiny piece of scallop was identified. The hot apple pie drink was delicious. Service was good“

“The place always smells very good from the outside which draws you in immediately. Also the food is exactly what you’d expect from a swanky Newport day out. Nachos, brisket, burger and a fantastic drinks to wash it all down. Don’t miss out on this place for walk by it for a second. This place will exceed any expectations.“

“Good food and a great staff. View is not bad either 🍀🍀🍀“

“Great location nice big bar with tvs“

“Delicious eggplant fries and pizza to die for. 😋“

“The atmosphere,food staff everything is as it should be .There is one small complaint when you get a bottle of wine,the staff has to let you taste the wine before pouring it into you glass but that doesn't diminish my rating

Thank you and see you again...“

“We hosted our welcome party at One Pelham East in Newport, and it was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding weekend. From the very beginning, the team at One Pelham East was incredible to work with. They guided us through every step of the planning process and helped us select the perfect space from their two amazing options, ensuring it would comfortably accommodate our group and match the vibe we wanted. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made planning so stress-free! The menu was outstanding, offering plenty of delicious options to choose from. Our guests are still raving about the food—especially the chicken sandwiches, which were an absolute standout! The bartenders were equally fantastic, bringing such a friendly and upbeat energy to the evening. They went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome, and their creative and perfectly mixed drinks added to the festive atmosphere. On top of that, the venue itself is beautiful and set the perfect tone for our welcome party. The space felt both intimate and lively, which is exactly what we were looking for. The team did an incredible job making sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish, allowing us to relax and just enjoy the night with our family and friends. If you’re considering hosting a welcome party or any kind of celebration in Newport, we can’t recommend One Pelham East highly enough. They truly made the evening special, and their professionalism, friendliness, and incredible food and drink made it a night we’ll never forget!“

“If you are looking for good bbq you should not overlook this place.

Prices are very reasonable the food is above average and even though it is hard to tell from the outside it has great atmosphere. Live music and nice outside area. With a huge fire pit.

Eaten here numerous times and never had a bad meal.

Free peanuts and popcorn while you wait!“

“Great place to stay. Marina manager Christian was top notch! He keeps everything running smoothly no matter weather conditions. Marina was clean dock hands were quick with line handling Nice bar to listen to live music either at bar or on boat. Dog friendly marina too. We will definitely be back.“
