★★★★★ 5.0 Alia Salomon · Aug 2025

if you’re considering eating here, JUST DO IT. the clam chowder, lobster roll, and mudslides are so delicious. we also ordered shrimp curry and the jerk chicken, which if you can handle spice you should order. our waitress told us that the chef was Jamaican, so really flavorful delicious food. the atmosphere is so nice in the spring/summer with the outdoor seating. we sat next to the water fountain with rubber duckies!! and the mudslides tasted like spiked McFlurries. if i could rate this place higher, i would. 10/10 recommend.

We were given drink tickets here from our Newport Foodies Tour. Our drinks (Tommy's Big Ginger and a Kentucky Mule) were well made by a bartender who appeared quite overworked but was very friendly. I did not order food but saw and smelled plenty of it go by. We had a lot of food on our tour and I was full but I was almost tempted to order since it all looked great

Good outdoor patio. Great drinks, food, and music in the afternoon. The service was non-existent. The wait staff were standing around vs attending to tables. The restaurant was practically empty due to rain, but no wait staff at the high tops. Ended up going to the bar to order drinks and food. The frozen mudslide with a floater was great as was the veggie burger. I would recommend them both. There is a great pond in the center for kids to play and catch plastic fish toys. Do not sit at the high tops unless you are using the bar for service. The bartenders were great, but the wait staff definitely needs training in customer service.

Visited on a Monday around 1 PM for lunch in December. Few tables sat, we sat at a booth next to the fire- loved that. Definitely an Irish pub and I know it gets busy! Clam Chowder 4/5 Rueben 4/5 Nachos 3.5/5 Patty Melt 3.5/5

I recently visited this past holiday weekend for a birthday celebration and, as always, you guys did not disappoint … Outside dining, the atmosphere, the food, the staff, I even had a laugh with another patron over the Mac and cheese with lobster 🤭 Our server, Taylor is A+ Not only did she do her job exceptionally well, her her personality and extra attn to the smallest of detail, definitely got my attn. enough that I wanted to review her before the food and drink… The food and drink did not disappoint. It was as great as Taylor’s service. I gave the bartender creative liberty .. and he delivered deliciously. Ordered the fries and buffalo wings, which were some of the best on my list! Thank you for always being a great experience! Never disappointed!
