Griswolds Tavern - Newport

Affordable drinks and welcoming bartenders. On Friday evenings, they offer complimentary food for patrons at the bar!

I've been saying this for years: Griswold's has the best nachos around! They strike the perfect balance between toppings and chips, and the portion is more than enough for three adults to share. If you split another appetizer among your group, everyone will definitely be full! I'm quite picky when it comes to nachos and have been let down far too often, but Griswold's nachos are like a faithful partner – they're always there for me and never disappoint! Seriously, they're fantastic! The service is always excellent as well.

The menu offers a great variety of dishes at affordable prices. Our waitress was friendly and even shared some jokes with my daughter. She checked on us frequently, contributing to an overall relaxed atmosphere. There’s a pool table and dartboard in the back that we didn’t get to use this time, but we definitely plan to return just the two of us.

I stumbled upon this restaurant after a day at the beach and decided to try it out. I ordered chicken wings and steak quesadillas, both of which were absolutely wonderful. My date is a big fan of Redbreast whiskey, which can be hard to come by, but they actually had it on the menu! The service was quick, and the bartender was really friendly. The atmosphere was fantastic too. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The fried calamari paired with sangria, the pasta, and the lobster roll were all delicious and the service was friendly. Everything was served with a touch of love.
