    Old Island Pub's Rhode Island clear broth chowder. A winner!!!

    I found out recently that this pub has the ever-elusive Rhode Island CLEAR broth chowder and made my way there. Paige and her mom are two terrific local gals and their chowder did not disappoint. Five servings over a couple of days and I can you tell this: if I should one day find myself requesting a final meal before my execution, this chowder will be on the menu! Chili is pretty darn good, too. Same for their sausage and pepper parmigiana sandwich I had for lunch which delighted even my picky Italian North Jersey palette. A great vibe. Nothing fancy or pretentious. Loud, local, and full of flavor. Music, locals, a pool table, and plenty of drink. Definitely check it out. I left the island a contented man!

    Bluefish spread appetizer.

    Finally realized the location moved but the atmosphere and charm remains the same. Loved the appetizers, friendly service and time spent here. Would absolutely recommend.

    Old Island pub's new location is really nice. Friendly, warm atmosphere. Very casual. Chili was good & the cornbread was amazing! Steak & cheese sandwich was generous & delicious. Great meal, great price!

    Taco Tuesday.... Worth the wait! Best tacos ever. My grandson said after taking his first bite of taco, "I am holding heaven in my hand!"

    Great service! Was not impressed with clam chowder and buffalo chicken dip. Local spot, cold beers.

    Had a nice lunch at OB's while visiting Newport. Away from the waterfront, it was still full of…read moreguest at lunch time, but no wait to be seated. The front wall of the bar opens to a piazza with small fountain and most dining is outside under umbrellas. The fountain has toys and nets and we saw a number of kids enjoying some wet fun. Hostess stand is at the far side of the building. We walked in - but there may be parking in back. We asked to be seated in a shady spot (it. was. Hot!) and we were taken to a shady table by the sidewalk. A wall seperates the tables from the sidewalk. Our waitress was very pleasant and capable. She took the drink order and when she returned we ordered food and I asked her to be sure our waters were kept full. She returned shortly with a pitcher of water for the table. Excellent! I drank so much water. The menu is pub fare. Apps, salads, burgers, sandwiches plus some entrees like fish and chips. We both ordered sandwiches and chose the pasta salad as our side from their many side options. I also ordered a side salad. The salad arrived with our food, brought by a food runner which for me was good. The waitress checked in quickly to be sure everything was as expected. All good. The burger seemed a bit over cooked but has a nice char on it. The bun to burger ratio is good and it was fresh. My dining companion enjoyed their chicken sandwich and their vinegar based pasta salad. My side salad was a nice mix of greens with plenty of shredded carrot on top plus onion, tomato and red onion. Dressing on the side. Excellent lunch; good portion size, fresh ingredients, capable, friendly staff.

    Was a really nice place to visit the staff was nice. The food was decent. They had an amazing salad…read morebar at the ambience was cute. Definitely a place to go eat if you're looking for a quick bite
