Such a amazing place. Food is so good, service was nice and I was playing darts and the cook let me borrow his. Ambiance is sick because it feels like your like in Ireland.

my first 5 mins of being there and ordering the bartender was rude & when i asked questions of some drink options he couldn't of acted more annoyed or as if he didn't have time & he did not have answers. I ordered a drink from the menu and he said "no" and shook his head like they didn't have it.. when that bartender stepped away my boyfriend went back and again tried ordering the same drink.i had tried to order & they made it for him... so what was it? reading other comments on here confirms a lot though

Thinking of coming here? Don't! Toss up between bad service and bad attitude. Seriously, it's not worth it.

Went looking for some great fish and chips and the Fastnet Pub delivered. It's delicious great job to the chef.It was my first visit to this location, but I will be back. I noticed plenty of dartboard and a pool table as I wandered around. It was a little early for much of a crowd, but the patrons seemed to be having a good time. Theres also lots of beers on tap.Parking: It's tough in downtown newport.

Would give zero stars if I could. Who charges $2 for water when you're trying to be responsible while consuming alcohol? Our group was denied tap water when a bourbon, two shots of patron, and a vodka soda were purchased. Terrible customer service and consideration of patrons. Also, place was a filthy, sticky mess.

Come for the drinks, not the food. The bar & atmosphere is unique & cool. A great Guinness pour & plenty of other great beers & cans to choose from. The food is very mediocre. The crowd get pretty young & crazy on summer nights so be prepared. Probably the best spot in Newport to watch a soccer match.

Defffff better bars around. Smells like a frat house. Bartenders rude and weird. Tap beer didn’t taste right. Old guy Charged $10 for a bottle of water when I asked for a glass of water. $20 minimum on cards. Basically they try to rip you off when bar hopping. No quick two drinks and bouncing. You will owe a few bucks because of the minimum and drink another instead of exploring other areas. Don’t go here. Stick to the other bars, cleaner, better service, cheaper and no stupid minimum. Oh, the other bars won’t scam you into buying a ten dollar water, when you ask for a glass. That’s the kind of business they running there.

They refuse to provide free tap water. Bottled water is the only option they provide. The reliance on unnecessary plastic bottles is compounded by their reliance on single use plastic cups given to patrons that are too drunk to be trusted with glasses.
