Barge Inn Tavern

10 beers on tap with a pool table, jukebox, and pinball machine, not to mention lots of TVs up on the wall. I had the Rogue Brutal IPA and my wife had a glass of Chardonnay. Both were very tasty. We didn’t order any food, but I heard other customers remark that they liked their bacon cheese burgers. The place has a real nice feel to it with lots of wood paneling and wooden bar and lots of seafaring pictures on the wall.

Nice place to drink a cold beer and meet new locals. Jukebox, pool tables, and nice staff. Good range of beer on tap.

This is an awesome Dive Bar, the best burgers and hot dogs in Newport, friendly bar tenders, locals love this place…

The great thing was that there was parking — when everywhere else was packed — should have been our first clue. We walked to the front door which didn’t open, luckily a local said «go ’round back» so we went to the only other door we found. We opened it and went in. It smelled like urine and the floor was pretty dirty but it was rainy and windy and it is right on the bay so we figured why not. We took a seat at a table and after about 2 minutes we just got up and left. It was dirty. Not just wind blown but the table and floor was sticky and chairs were grimy. Eating or even just getting a beer didn’t sound good in this place. Total dive — and not in the eccentric fun dive bar kind of way — but the creepy get the penicillin kind of way. Don’t waste your time.

We just had a beer so I can’t really comment on the food. Decent beer selection, friendly bartender. We’ll return when back in town.

Best burgers in town. Friendly bartenders/​cooks. Good place to meet the colorful locals. Put your dollar bill on the ceiling. Tell renae I sent you
