The parking in front can be limited but we were lucky enough to get a spot. The portions sizes are insane here so make sure you have an appetite! I ordered a chicken sandwich with pesto and mozzarella and really enjoyed it. The turkey club is also massive and their fries are very tasty. This is definitely a locals favorite and if you're looking for a local dive that offers good food at a great price you should check them out!

Maybe it's not officially a "dive bar" anymore--but it's still pretty damn close. And what used to…read morebe a true hidden gem? Yeah... that ship has sailed. This spot has clearly become a local favorite, and for good reason--mighty food, a solid beer selection, and a consistently great vibe. It's tight inside, so do yourself a favor and get there early if you want to grab a seat. The staff is always friendly and on point, and after quite a few visits, I can honestly say I've never been disappointed. Cheers

We just had another fabulous dinner at Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant--our second time dining here…read moresince last fall, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. We arrived a little early for our 4:00 p.m. reservation, and the place was already packed. While we waited by the bar, a very nice waitress took our drink order--a lemon drop martini, beautifully crafted, well-balanced, and pleasantly strong. We were seated shortly after and, of course, ordered another. (Both times, I took several sips before remembering to take a photo!) Our waitress, Mikela, was truly lovely--sincere, sweet, and very courteous. She was attentive throughout the meal without ever being intrusive, which made the experience feel relaxed and effortless. At the end, I told her I wished I could give her 6 stars, but Yelp only allows 5. For dinner, we both ordered the seared rare ahi tuna steak. I had mine with garlic bread, while my husband chose mashed potatoes. I also added the $9.95 salad buffet, which is such a great deal--you definitely won't leave hungry. I especially love their buffet-style salad bar, which offers nearly every option one could want. Both of our ahi tuna steaks were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Once again, I dug into my tuna before remembering to take a photo! We finished the meal with a cheesecake to share--another delicious ending to a wonderful dinner. We're already planning our next visit--there are still so many dishes and drinks we'd love to try.

We were a party of seven, including three kids, and didn't even need a separate kids' menu--the options worked perfectly for everyone. The only drawback was the reservation experience. When we called ahead, we were told they were fully booked, yet when we walked in, there were multiple empty tables and we were seated promptly. That part was a bit odd.

There's seats at the bar and a few high top tables with booth seating across from it. No reservations, walk ins only. I suggest keeping it to groups of 2-3. Anything larger is a tight fit. We came in after 10pm on a Saturday and were lucky to snag the only open table left. The craft cocktails are reasonably priced for the area at $15. There's a large variety and they even have mocktails. You can tell that the owners put creativity and thought into the drinks. They also have a food menu (snacks and small appetizers only) but we didn't get to try anything because it's only available until 10pm. Service was great. Bartenders are friendly and put a lot of love and effort into making your drinks. We ordered a margarita and a dark n' stormy (dark rum, lime, ginger beer). Both were presented beautifully and we enjoyed them! If you're in the Newport area and want to enjoy unique cocktails in a more intimate environment, definitely check this spot out.

Sandy was our amazing server, provided great recommendations and very attentive to her respective tables. Cocktails were great, antipasto was a great start not too much to leave room for the main and desert! The focaccia was light and flavorful as well. Had the rigatoni bolognese which was prepared perfectly and had great flavor. Nearly licked the plate clean! Saved a little room for desert with both cakes being tasty and washed down with an espresso martini. Lovely place to have a date night or night out with friends!

She was nice enough to let me try them and I chose the Trevino which was very good and paired great with my food. The bread was nothing special but solid and the high quality olive oil made up for it. For my main I got the chicken milanese and it was divine. I loved the vinaigrette on top perfectly acidic and vinegary. It cut though the oil and heaviness of the breading which was perfectly salted by the way. The arugula bean salad was sooo good and created such a well balanced meal. The one thing I will say is I believe their fryer does fish and chicken bc my chicken had a slight ocean taste but since I like fish I was not bothered but non fish people beware!

It was the best lobster I've ever had. So unbelievably fresh. So worth the price! I had a little room for a sweet treat so I got a scoop of their carmalized banana ice cream. It was $3 which is the cheapest scoop I've had in a while. I sat right at the window and enjoyed the pretty view. I will be back!!

Food: 3/4 stars For drinks we got a white mimosa, which we…read moredon't like cause it tasted like there's syrup in it. For appetizers we got four oysters and two clams, which tasted okay, just regular raw bar items. We also got a salad, the portion was a bit small but tasted good. For entree, we got a seafood pasta for $38 and a sole Milanese for $28. The seafood pasta comes with four shrimps and four scallops, so I would say the portion was good for the price. We liked the sauce but the texture of the shrimp seemed off it's a bit crunchy. Our server recommended the fish and it was good. Service: 5 stars Our server was nice and welcoming. The manager came by and greeted our table as well. We didn't expect this level of service at a tourist restaurant. Ambiance: 5 stars

We started with a cheese pizza and it tasted good- they added ricotta between the sauce and mozzarella which I liked, but my 10 year old did not. I ordered the fish and chips and it was good. The waitress was meh, but nice enough...Seemed like she had more tables than she could handle. Can't say I'll rush back.

There wasn't a lot open at this hour for pizza (that was also well rated) and so if you find yourself in a similar position, don't be afraid to check this place out!

Every time we come here the service is excellent and the food is amazing. This is what we come for right? Outstanding food and service! This year was no different than the other years and I love how the menu continues to evolve and change and everything that comes to life from the menu to the table is well thought out and bursting with harmonious blends of flavor. The presentation is gorgeous too! Plating is also important and they nail it! Okay let's gooooo! Come join our dining experience! We tried a bit of everything! We loved every bit of it. I'll mention my faves but that doesn't take away how hard it was to choose a fave! Everything was DELICIOUS ! Raw bar: Jamestown oysters . We had 10. We can't get enough east coast oysters. We live in the west side and I cannot say enough how much better oysters are on east coast! Slurp ! Mmm! Snacks: 1. Shartner's Farm Carrots: pea green pesto, pine nut, n'duja . If you're a meat, potato and pasta person and try to avoid your veggies, don't do that here. GET IT! It's such a great melody of textures and flavors that pair well. It doesn't feel like you are eating carrots and regardless it's a very dressed up bougie delicious carrot plate ! Mmmm . One of my faves out of the snacks. 2. Narragansett Creamery Burrata: green strawberry, speck, basil. Creamy, vibrant and just delicious Pasta: only had room in our tummies for 1 but every year we try different pastas and never disappoints. This year no exception. Maltagliati- hopkins southdowns lamb sugo, swiss chard, harissa, umbrian chickpea. Excellent! Pasta was perfect texture and consistency!! Little touch of spice from harissa which I loved (not overpowering). The Swiss chard was cooked to a crispy texture which I loved. I was a bit nervous about the lamb because it really can vary from place to place. However, I should have known better being from here they cooked/braised it to perfection: melt in your mouth type of soft and no weird or gamey taste. Definitely delicious pasta I recommend. Plates: 1. Duck Leg Confit- japanese turnip, spigariello kale, huckleberry conserva, duck jus. Personally my faves of the two plates but both delicious. The crispy skin from the duck and tender flavorful duck meat was just to die for. Loooooved. Plus the turnips and the amazing huckleberry conserva! Thinking about it makes my mouth water. So so good. 2. Beef Short Rib-swiss chard erbazzone, sunchoke, hazelnut. Loved it. Tasty as expected. Great flavor and tender. Dessert: 1. Olive Oil Cake- strawberry, rosé, lime curd, basil gelato. Wow! Oh wow! I'm so happy this time around they have some cake options. I love olive oil cake and now to pair with a basil gelato sounds insane right? Holy cow! Soooo good! Not what I was expecting. Strawberry, rose, lime and basil gelato flavor all work well together in this dessert. My fave dessert of the night! TRY IT! 2. Cookies N' cream: narragansett creamery ricotta, chocolate biscotti- yummy! Tasted like an elevated cookies and cream ! We loved our experience! Hopefully when you visit here, you can enjoy it as much as we do year after year. I absolutely love this place. Food is beyond excellent and is a place you have to stop by and visit while in Newport.
