Bought tickets for a show and drove all the way there paid the tolls and for parking just to find the place was closed. Never received an email or call about a cancelation. They charged my card for the tickets and haven't received a refund yet. Seems to be a common occurrence with these scumbags

I bought tickets to a wrestling event and after driving all the way to newport me and my friend find it's canceled. No email no notifications, nothing. I've been trying to call for 3 days to get into contact with anyone. No one returns my calls or emails. I will be actively telling people Not to deal with the newport blues cafe. A bunch of scam artists.

I bought tickets for an event that never happened. There was no cancelation email, no rescheduling, no refund. It was just a no-show event. SO BEWARE WHEN BUYING TICKETS FOR AN EVENT! I have emailed twice and no one has gotten back to me about a refund.

Was overcharged by $44 last Friday. Was ordering a corona and a vodka lemonade. Had previously been charged $19 and then the second time $63.75. Have tried to contact them by calling and leaving messages on their website but no response

Came here for an event and noticed an old man was creeping on young girls. Come to find out he is the owner and has a reputation for getting guards to kick out people who call him out. I warned those around me out of concern before leaving. Think twice before coming here. Also drinks were expensive.

Great spot for a show! Intimate atmosphere - you'll feel like you're up there with the band.
Where mediocre straight white boys go to feel validated. Got hate crimed in the bathroom by some insecure 21 year olds. This place allows awful behavior from its patrons.

Great band and atmosphere and service at the main bars, the side bar downstairs had some rude young chick who said the bar didn’t have any water

On the night of 3/24 I came here and around 12am a man began filming my friend. I confronted the man and asked him to delete the video multiple times and he refused. I went to a security guard named DJ and told him the situation. He said there was nothing he could do because it was a public place. I then went to the older bouncer named Jason and explained the situation to him. He told me that since it was a public place they could not do anything. I asked him the name of the security guard inside multiple times to clarify because I could not hear. He angrily and rudely asked me why I asked so many times. He then said I shouldn’t be concerned about my friend because I was wearing a bra that showed my breasts. I said so you are sexually harassing me and he said no. I went to leave and I told another bouncer who was nice to me named Ethan that I would be reporting the situation to their boss. At this time Jason angrily stormed out and said “I’ll just tell him myself”. I began to video record him because he said it was a public place and okay to record before and he got very upset and would not admit what he said about my clothing. He then went to a police officer to report me and what was happening. He told the police officer I claimed the man was recording me and not my friend. He then clearly told the police officer I was wearing a bra so I said so you are sexually shaming me and he said no. He claimed he had a wife and kids and would not do that. He also said I was drinking and assumed I was drunk. I bought one drink and a shot from the bar when I arrived at 10pm. I’m sure this can be verified by my credit card in their system. Overall, I have learned that Newport Blues Cafe clearly supports predators, sexualizing young women, and sexually shaming. I am a curvy girl and have larger breasts. My shirt was a crop top but not a bra and he should not have been looking at my breasts. If I was skinny and had small breasts I do not believe this would have happened. As a long term Newport resident and someone that has gone to blues many times I’ve never experienced this. Older men should not be sexualizing young college girls especially if they work there every weekend. He let me in the the bar and did not have a problem with what I was wearing then. This establishment also does not have a formal dress code posted. If men are going to be working as bouncers they need sexual harassment training and shouldn’t be sexualizing anyone. Also it is the responsibility of the establishment to not over serve me so I should not have been accused of being too drunk to understand what was occurring unless it was their fault. This bar supports predatory behavior and sexual harassment.
