Great place but one of the bartenders assaulted my friend and was clearly drunk on the job. Pretty sure he’s behind bars now

Places like this are a real treasure. No pretenses -- just a great vibe, excellent drinks, and a bar man Joe who has found his calling in hospitality. We attended a vow renewal for family and Joe takes it very seriously with the highest intentions and kindness. This place has legit charm.

The IA has become the landing spot from the refugees from the Protective Club which has changed hands and is very good. No shortage of people smoking at front door blocking the entrance at the IA. Not a good look.

I would not recommend this place, I can’t even believe this kind of place is open in Newport on Thames ?, this bar can be described like these dive bars with sketchy people in Fall River or New Bedford. The staff has no class, I would give it minus a star if I could. Do not go there, hope this place closes soon… cause I do not want this kind of bars in my city…

This place is the best vibe in Newport. They have the most unique drinks and the service is top tier. I highly recommend coming here. During the day time it is chill with some sports. At night it's a place you can dance and also sing karaoke on Sunday's. Ever since I've lived in Newport this place has become home. Dan the bartender is personally my favorite. He's always so kind. John comes in second place. 10/10 recommend becoming a member here.

Pretty cool and large bar with daily entertainment. I love when Irish bars have comfortable, solid wood table and bar chairs with back. We stopped by here during Halloween weekend on Sunday. Couldn't stay for Karaoke. Fun bartender definitely keep the sprit up for Halloween. There is a music box and billard in a different room. It's a nice place for date or get to gether with friends.
