    Delicious Fish and Chips
    Kristen S.

    This is one of those places that you drive by for 20 years and always say we should stop there one day...well that's exactly what we did today . Came on a beautiful spring Saturday around 4:00 and grabbed 2 seats at the bar. The 3 bartenders were all friendly. Got 2 beers, 2 mixed drinks. onion rings, fish and chips, baked scrod and 2 side salads-$122 fair value for what we got! This place was crazy busy so I would try to get here earlier than the dinner crowd-every seat in the house was taken by 4:30.

    Italian sub with fries
    Karla M.

    My friend and I went hiking nearby and worked up an appetite. We were initially going to Wendy's but got lost along the way and eventually ended up at cornerstone pub. We were both in the mood for a sandwich, something casual and not too big. We agreed on the Italian sub, toasted, with mayonnaise (in addition to the vinegar and oil). While we waited for our order, we were invited to sit at the bar. The bartender was kind to offer us some water which we accepted. After about 10 minutes, the food was ready. For about $15, we got a sandwich that was about a foot long, cut in half, with some fries. I regret not asking for a dipping sauce for the fries. They were hot, crispy, and delicious on their own but ranch would've made them better. The sandwich was good. It had a good amount of meat, but it did come with a lot of banana peppers which might have been a bit overpowering. The toppings were fresh, and the cheese was perfectly melted. Between customer service and quality of food, I was very satisfied. They do have a big parking lot, and are very close to stepping falls for a good hike if you're up for it.

    Cheers to finding Heady at The Cornerstone Pub

    Expansive beer menu, full bar, and great menu. The Caesar salad is really good, not too heavily dressed. This can be tough to get into on the weekend, but it's worth a wait. Audrey is the kindest server, they're lucky to have her.

    We have passed this place many times on getting to I95S headed to NYC. Often see many parked cars there. A neighbor recommended it as "the best burger in RI." As we were in the area for a volunteer event, we dropped in for lunch (this would not be a typical "let's go for a burger at Cornerstone Pub" as it is a 45-minute drive). Well, he could be right. Clearly one of the best burgers I have had in years. I had the classic cheeseburger "well done." Why it works is the potato bun that stays intact throughout your meal and that the ingredients (tomato, onion, etc.) are the right size. A very tasty burger. A choice of sides. Nice décor and great service. A HUGE selection of beers and cider on tap. Damages for 2 with beers was $60.

    I was in this general area and did a yelp search and cornerstone pub had a high rating and the food photos looked good so we decided to visit As you walk in there is a very Large bar with plenty of seats and large TV's. Vanessa was our server My guest ordered a Pastrami Reuben with french fries, they said it was just OK $14 I ordered a Cobb salad and added grilled chicken,, salad was good $15 +$6 I got the feeling that this is a very popular place and everybody who visits comes back, There is plenty of seating inside and a large parking lot Worth visiting again

    Nice spot, great food. A little loud but it is a pub. Lots of tvs, good atmosphere, ahi tuna salad was a very good price

    Vanilla Chai Martini and Dirty Martini

    Although this restaurant is located in a remote area, it's always busy and has a lively vibe. We prefer to sit at the enormous wraparound bar, and we rarely have to wait for a seat. The food quality is consistently good. They now offer a plethora of gluten free options as well. Worth the stop if you're in the area. It's located a mile or two off of 95 which makes it pretty convenient for people passing through the area.

    Worst cheese steak of my life.
    Adam A.

    Ordered a large cheese steak with extra cheese. Got a half filled grinder roll that was a medium at best. I like salt on my food but this tasted like a salt lick. Instead of extra cheese I got one slice of cheese draped over the top of dry and burnt shaved steak. Instead of $15 for this I could've spent half that for a cheese steak from Subway, and next time I will. I've seen enough.

    For dinner my friends and I chose a sure thing. This pub is one of the best places in Newport, RI…read moreto get a great meal. The entire venue is filled with unique memorabilia. Waitstaff is kind and dutiful. Food is beyond delicious. I started off with their onion rings, which were one of their specials today. Perfectly crispy and tasty without excess grease. It came with a special "Outback" sauce, which tasted like a spicy version of thousand island dressing sans pickles; it was quite delicious. Rings were good with or without the sauce. For my main course, I got the Plumby's Crispy Chicken BLT. This sandwich is full of flavor. Like the onion rings, the chicken was fried to perfection and not overly greasy. Vermont cheddar and bacon add a savory richness and the chipotle mayo had just the right amount of spice. I couldn't taste the tomato and arugula much so this sandwich is a good way to help you eat your veggies. I also got a side of garlic mashed potatoes which were creamy, garlicky and buttery. This place has been in Newport forever because their food is consistently satisfying. I didn't get the following dish today but I also recommend their baked stuffed shrimp. If you're a daredevil, they also have a hot wing challenge. To put it simply, this pub has something for everyone and you will undoubtedly walk away impressed.

    I loved everything about this restaurant except one thing, which I'll explain, and which caused 5…read morestars to become 4 stars (I wish I could just knock off a half star but that's not how it works, I guess): My next door neighbor Judi has a hobby of catching the Newport ferry from Providence, sometimes spending a few hours and coming back, or just staying on the boat and heading back, just so she can lean back in a seat and soak up the sun. Lately she'd been telling me about a chocolate martini from The Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant, and being the martini and chocolate fan that I am, I simply had to experience it. So I finally got a day when I could join her on a trip, and so we went there on Labor Day. Once there, we walked right in at 11:30 am, and were seated immediately. The interior is fun and interesting -- antique this and that, including a huge iron door that looks like it went to a furnace, and had embossed lettering, I believe it was Newport Highschool. Perhaps the restaurant location is where the HS coal room was originally??? Anyway, one the way to the table, the hostess said something about the soup and salad bar being over there to my right, and so I went to check it out, and once I took a gander inside the two soup containers, I grabbed a bowl of Portuguese Kale Soup and brought it to the table. Judi said "That's all you're gonna get?" And I said "Of course not, I'll grab some salad and maybe get a sandwich or something." "Oh" she said, and then got up to check out the soup and salad bar herself. Meanwhile as I'm slurping the delicious, heart y soup, loaded with chourico, potatoes, carrots, kale, beans, etc., I'm perusing the menu and I notice that it says that if you purchase a sandwich of $9 or more then you get the soup and salad bar for $10, and then the soup and salad bar alone was $18. Okay, so perhaps I just wasn't thinking about the world in which I now live that basically has you paying for the bread basket you might get served. But again, the hostess just basically slurred out something about the soup and salad bar and my brain heard that it was complimentary. I honestly have to wonder if that's part of the trick(?) to get you to go for it, and not realize that it's considered a meal in itself, and then you order a sandwich or whatever, and now you're paying twice the amount you thought you'd be paying, but hey, it's Newport and people are spending $40 on a stupid baseball cap. And so, you know, if you end up having to pay a bit too much at a restaurant, you don't make a scene, you just say "Yeah, I meant to do that". Okay, I'm trying not to be sardonic here, trying not to sound like one of those "everybody's out to get me" kind of folks, so I'll just shut up at this point, on this particular point. I just hope that the owners and/or managers will inform the hostess to be a bit more clear on what the soup and salad bar actually means. That'd be nice. So there was no way I was buying a sandwich to go along with the soup and salad bar -- I simply cannot eat as much as I did when I was in my 20's and couldn't gain a pound if I ate all day long. I was able to (slightly) save face once Judi went for the soup and salad bar herself and was satisfied with the freshness and deliciousness thereof. But the piece de resistance, the very reason we both came to this establishment in the first place ... the chocolate martini! So this martini looks nothing like you'd expect as clear as water. I believe it's got a vodka base, and then some creme de cocoa, and is showered in grated chocolate flakes. It was absolutely splendid! Nice and boozy without being overpowering, and the flavor was amazing. And then for some strange reason, Judi is looking at the dessert menu. She reads of a few of them, asking me if I'd like something like that. I keep saying "I'm pretty full Jude", but she was persistent. She especially was taken with the Ghirardelli Fudge Brownie with 4 Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream. She said "What if we can get them to split it in half on two separate plates?" I said "Ohhhhkaayyyyy..." And our waitress said "Absolutely!" She came back with two large portions (see attached photo ... just remember, that's a picture of HALF of the dessert serving!). Oh my word! It was large and quite yummy. A nice, crunchy and soft brownie made with Ghirardelli chocolate, with plenty of walnuts therein, two lovely scoops of ice cream, all drizzled with chocolate sauce. A splendid way to cap it all off. So I'd go back again, just with the knowledge that it's EITHER the soup and salad bar OR a sammich, at least for a guy my age and size and appetite. But definitely for that lovely chocolate martini ... and maybe that fudge brownie to make it complete :)

They have a great menu with pub style apps, burgers, and delicious entrees, a comfortable atmosphere, live music on the weekends, and just an over all great vibe. On my first visit, my friend and I both ordered the prime rib, which is a special on Saturday nights. The meat was tender, flovorful, and the portion size was great. It was served with a baked potato (with lots of butter and sour cream), and roasted green beans - all were delicious! Service was perfect - we never had to wait long for anything. Our server was friendly, prompt, and we couldn;t have asked for anything more. My second visit was with my husband and our two daughters. My daughters split the fish and chips and they said it was really good. My husband got chicken and waffles, and I got the prime rib again. Once again, the service was perfect, and the prime rib dinner was outstanding. My daughters went home after dinner, but my husband and I moved over to the bar as we wanted to stay for the live music. The band was called Rash Cat and we really enjoyed their performance. They were super talented and had great classic song choices, and the music was loud enough to provide a fun atmosphere, but also quiet enough that you could still carry on a conversation. I'd definitely go back to see them again. I'd like to come back again to try more of the menu items and to enjoy the outdoor patio & fire pit. What a great RI tavern for all seasons!
