    The interior of this bar is stuck in the 1980's, but in a good way. It was an amusing stop for a Saturday afternoon. We drove by and said "We have to check this place out, I mean look. Pelle's Cafe is attached to Pelle's Tax Service. It has to be a good place, right?" The price is definitely right! $2 for any drink, except for one (can't remember which one) that's $2.25 - the extra quarter might be worth it, but it is CASH ONLY. The bar tender was friendly, and some dude was setting up hot dogs. I'm not sure if there was a special party/event, but we did notice him grilling on an actual grill outside when we were leaving. If you do not like smoke, do not go here. I was a smoker, but the amount of smoke in there was really hurting my eyes. I unfortunately will not likely go back for this reason, otherwise, it's worth visiting!

    Homemade fries + burgers, but the star of the show in my opinion is the deep fried hoagie.

    Went here to celebrate my birthday with some friends and was basically harassed out of the place…read more We went to find a spot to settle in and had brought in waters because it's a hot summer day. I was unsure if this was allowed but nothing was said upon entrance so I thought it was okay. not even five minutes into being there we were aggressively told to dump out our drinks so I go ahead and do so immediately. We went towards the bar a few minutes later to order a drink and to play pool afterwards. before we could say or do anything the bartender yelled at us to order something and accused us of things. very alienating and rude I would not go here if you don't like to be treated poorly.

    The only reason gave it more stars than I wanted to because the place was so cute…read more I traveled from Texas to see a concert in Newport. I chose to pick local dive places to visit to support small businesses. I came in and the place was dead silent in the front. The bartender was not welcoming. I said hello. She proceeded to tell me I couldn't sit at the bar because people were there but they weren't. Which is fine I just wanted to order. I asked if there was a menu or a recommendation. Explained I traveled from Texas. She said nope no menu. And gestured like "this is it" I said ok no worries. Asked if she had a local beer to recommend she said no. She doesn't drink. I said ok that's fine just pour me anything local I like all kinds of beer. She got upset and said I needed to help her out and pick something. Wild to me. As someone in the industry that would be my point to serve them the best or most expensive thing. She just didn't seem to care. I really was excited to come here. And only spent $5.50. Could have spent alot more if the hospitality was there. Drank half my beer and left to the next spot.
