O'BRIEN'S PUB, Newport

Stopped in for lunch - first visit. I had a bottled beer, wife had a specialty cocktail. She liked it. We both ordered French onion soup. Not the best I ever had but it was pretty good. Service was good. Outdoor seating in plastic “igloos”...that can seat up to six but probably four comfortably. It did a good job of blocking the wind.More

Beef Stew!!!

The Beef Stew was incredible. Sat outside in a dining bubble with a heater if you wanted to use it. Will return to have the stew again.

Not welcoming

The space is not really in the lively part of Thames street, and it was not anything like an Irish pub at all. It was cold and dark, the bathrooms needed much attention, and the staff acted like they didn't even want to be there....Once the tips stopped flowing the staff became even more indifferent. There are many better places in Newport, try those.More

Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience with us! I'd like to clear up though that we're not an Irish pub. Many get that confused by our Irish name! We hope you'll join us again next time you're...More

Lunch visit

Stopped in on 10/10 for lunch. Service was fantastic. Food & Drinks were on point. We ordered a chicken wrap and boneless wings. Patio was very pretty & crowded. For the most part they are doing their best with Covid restrictions. 4 stars because it...stinks that they don’t take reservations. We waited about 30 mins for a table for 2. We wouldn’t hesitate to stop back in again next time we’re in Newport.More

Perfect lunch spot

We just happened to pass by and stop for lunch and I am SO glad we did. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was great. I really enjoyed the seafood cakes! At first I was nervous but they were honestly the best seafood...I had in Newport. The pub did a great job with COVID safety with the plexiglass and directional signs. It was just the perfect place to stop for lunch.More

Great drinks, average food

Four ladies hungry and thirsty after walking all day. The menu posted outside looked promising, Drinks were large, strong and delish, Two of us ordered the lemon shrimp which came swimming in a sauce that wasn’t great. The salmon was good, pasta with veggies a...bit overcooked but good . Nice social distancing set up outside which was appreciated!More

Alright overall

Enjoyed sitting outside and having lunch here one day. The clam chowder was pretty good as well as the cod. One of our party also tried the salmon and that was fairly tasty as well. Two of our party ordered the jalapeno steak and both...individuals thought that there was excessive jalapeno-garlic paste on top of the steaks. Service was a little underwhelming for waitress' attitude.More

Best Pot Roast in Town

On a cold, wet day in Newport there is nothing like a hot Pot Roast! O'Brien's Pub makes the best! In a town known for clam chowder to find such a tasty diversion was great! We had enough to take home for the next day's...lunch. We also ordered the chicken pot pie. It was more of a chicken stew with a filo dough roll on top... very good. The people were nice, service very good.More

Answer

Our outdoor patio is dog-friendly, and you'll often see children playing at the fountain. Because of this, we don't allow glassware on the patio. If a glass were to break, it would be an incredible hazard for our furry and... More
