Where to Eat & Drink

BREAKFAST Try Nitro Bar for a coffee and delicous and creative breakfast options about halfway down Thames Street. A personal favorite is also French-inspired Beacoupe Café & Home for boutique shopping and delicious pastries. For a full breakfast, visit Belle's along the docks of the Newport Shipyard.     LUNCH It's hard to beat lunch at The Black Pearl right on Bowen's Wharf (don't forget a cup of chowder!). The Lawn at Castle Hill is also an iconic location for a blueberry lemonade and lobster roll in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the harbor (with Newport Lobster Shack being a more grab-and-go alternative). If you're headed to the Cliff Walk, enjoy a more elevated lunch at The Chanler's Remy's Loose restaurant & patio. Other favorites include The Landing, The Reef, The Mooring, and Wally's Wieners!     DINNER There is no shortage of amazing dinner spots in Newport. A few of our favorites are: the newly opened Guisto, for tapas style bites overlooking the water, Clarke Cooke House for a classic Newport experience (check out their summer sushi menu!). Midtown Oyster Bar's quaint oyster counter or the rooftop terrace overlooking Thames Street, or White Horse Tavern for a meal at the oldest operating restaurant in the US. Enjoy a more casual meal on Perro Salado's great patio for casual Mexican food and great margaritas, or a stylish and delicious culinary experience at The Vanderbilt. And finally, Flora for Mediterranean inspired costal cuisine. Need takeout? We love Thai Cuisine on Thames and Mother Pizzeria.     ﻿BARS Our favorite bars downtown are One Pelham East for a lively evening from darts to live music, or Surf Club for a laid-back nautical vibe. The Fastnet Pub and O'Brien's both serve a great pint of Guinness! The Roof Deck at The Vanderbilt and Top of Newport Bar + Kitchen at The Viking Hotel both have beautiful 360 views of Newport & the harbor.    We strongly encourage lunch & dinner reservations well in advance of your weekend arrival!
