Bars in Newport

Newport Craft Brewing & Distilling is one of New England's most comprehensively innovative craft producers — a Newport institution producing outstanding ales AND outstanding gin and whiskey in the most historically significant leisure city in New England. Newport's extraordinary Gilded Age heritage (the Newport Mansions, home to Cornelius Vanderbilt's "cottage" The Breakers, are among the most opulent private residences ever built in America) and Newport Craft's consistent quality create a brewery-distillery of genuine Rhode Island heritage significance.

One Pelham East is Newport's premier live music bar — a two-story Thames Street venue with multiple bars, regular live rock and blues performances, and a festive atmosphere that captures the energy of Newport's famous summer social scene. Newport's combination of America's Cup yacht culture, Gilded Age mansion tourism, and the annual music festival circuit creates one of the most upscale yet authentically fun bar environments on the entire New England coast.

Newport's Thames Street is one of New England's most animated bar corridors — a waterfront street serving one of America's most historically significant resort towns where America's Cup sailing heritage, Gilded Age mansions, and the Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals create an entertainment culture of extraordinary historical depth. Newport's dual identity as both a working waterfront and America's most exclusive summer resort creates a bar scene that serves everyone from fishermen to Forbes 400 members.
