Reviews for Surf Club in Newport, RI
We were staying in Newport for a few days. We are from Philadelphia and the Eagles game was on, we started looking for a bar to... watch the game. Lucky for us we walked into the Surf Club on Thames, what a find! We told our bartender Jess about the game andshe put it on 3 TVs for us. She also recommended the special pizza which was delicious, same with the wings and fries. Bestbar! . Read more
I Love this bar if you have an afternoon with temperatures seventies or eighties and want to feel the five of Newport this is a... great place. During the midsummer when it's in the 90s could be a bit hot out there if you do not have an umbrella although theyhave a shaded area adjacent to the bar. I like the drinks here they are strong and about slightly overpriced but you are inNewport and it's to be expected. But again the outside bar and sitting in the sun on a cool day taking the vibe in from theTaurus and also the locals being by the water in the ocean great place to socialize. Read more
The pizzas are great. When you choose the outdoor dining option you have a great view of all the boats.
Amazing Bite. Came here for a snack. Service is great. And even with outdoor setting, still felt private.
Came here for dinner with 9 girls for a bachelorette party. We sat at a big comfortable booth inside which was great! Server Joe... was fantastic! All the food came out together and tasted so good! As a first timer I will return. Read more
I would love to be able to comment on the drinks or food but we didn't get a chance... I stood at the bar for 10 minutes and... was ignored so I figured we figured we try getting seated. They sat us down, gave us menus and then we were again ignored foranother 20 minutes, we'll not totally ignored, the 5 staff that were standing around and talking to each other kept looking overat us, but I guess none of them wanted to take our money so we left. We gladly walked down the street and gave someone else ourmoney. And for the record, this was a Thursday afternoon not like peak hours on a Saturday night. Highly would not reccomend... Read more
Absolutely loved the vibe of this casual spot that’s right along the main drag along the water. Certain seats allow you to... catch glimpses of the harbor, while other tables offer views of America’s Cup Ave. The twisty bread was a delicious way tostart the meal. The Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich was nothing special, but not bad. Service could have been a bit moreattentive, but overall really enjoyed this spot. Read more
A slightly delayed review so no photos, but wanted to share a couple notes. We ate inside, which was a nice atmosphere that... helped me forget it was in a basement. Open view of the kitchen offers a nice feeling of trust. We were seated and waited for10-15 minutes before we had to stop and ask a server if we could order something. Place wasn’t that busy so I assume it wasjust miscommunication. I also vaguely remembering not receiving water or needing to ask for water. I ordered a $15 cocktail thatfelt/looked like 20mL— gone in a couple sips; ask for no ice to avoid getting scammed by half-sized, partial servings ofcocktails. Also made the mistake of ordering green beans and not noticing the word “battered,” so I was surprised when theyshowed up deep fried. Those were nasty, don’t order them; ended up in the trash. I saw some comments about undercooked burgersbut mine was fine. Pricing seemed standard for the area, except those tiny $15 cocktails. This was just another mediocreexperience during our trip, which became a theme. I don’t know where the 5 stars are coming from, I would look elsewhereunless your staying in the Bay Club and want convenience and don’t care about price. I will end on the positive note that Idid see at least one mocktail on the menu so that’s a meager bonus if you are avoiding alcohol. Read more
