At the end of our RI Food Fights #BigBurgerBlowout outing yesterday in Fall River, we decided to…read moreGoogle dive bar for one drink before tackling the bridge on the way home. Lucky us, Shorty's Pub was the closest to our location. Definitely NOT a dive bar. So much charm, character & colorful people! We enjoyed the many conversations with Shorty & his wife, the lovely bartender & the other patrons. Acoustic duo was setting up. Outdoor patio opens in a couple of weeks. Food menu looks amazing. It's a place you want to be your Cheers. If in Fall River, go & thank us later. Highly recommend.

We do try to make a reservation for brunch, as I know there's usually a wait. I will say that the decor in the tipsy is one of its biggest drawers. Whoever is decorating, definitely knows what they're doing! The fireplace at the center of the restaurant is always tastefully decorated for the season. I absolutely love it! I had quite a few other $20 lobster rolls specials this summer. The amount of lobster that they give you for $20, and being able to pick your side is one of the best deals around. Not to mention the quality of the food for the $20. My Caesar salad was absolutely delicious too! The other picture I posted is one of my favorite salads that they used to make with the goat cheese "arancini". I really do miss that side, so hopefully they'll bring a back one day. It was quite the meal!

I've been here twice and enjoyed my experience to varying degrees. The first time we were sat…read moreupstairs, where it's a bit quieter and had a really attentive waiter. I ordered the boneless wings and they were very tasty. I didn't particularly like my cocktail (it had fig liqueur in it) and the waiter was super nice and took it off the bill. I had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and it was amazing. Must have this again, I will literally go back just for this. The next time was on a Wednesday night and they had martini specials. I had a espresso martini to start and it was okay - tasted on the weaker side. I don't like the glasses they serve the martinis in, they are stemless and seem to not hold as much alcohol. It was packed as they were having some type of Halloween karaoke, which we didn't know about. Our waitress was a bit hard to get ahold of and she moved very quickly without making sure everyone at the table had what they needed which was a bit off putting. She was nice but not the most attentive. They made me a drink based on some preferences (blood orange, gin, lime, soda water) I gave them, but I asked that it come with no ice. It is pictured in this review, and unfortunately did come with quite a lot of ice. They apparently only have two cocktail glasses - the ugly stemless martini glasses and a margarita glass. That's really surprising for a bar that has a full cocktail menu because the glassware really doesn't suit a lot of the cocktails being served. That drink was fine but also tasted pretty weak. They always decorate based on the holiday and it looked really cool with jack o lanterns everywhere, and a lit fireplace. This is definitely a bar you go to for the atmosphere, not the drinks. I would go back for the sticky toffee pudding and sit upstairs, but the drinks were a major disappointment both times.

A great spot right in the heart of Thames Street! We came here with a large group, and even on a…read morebusy afternoon, we were seated quickly with two tables next to each other. There are plenty of TVs, making it a fun place to catch a game while enjoying a meal. Our group ordered a variety of dishes, including wraps, lobster rolls, and several pizzas, and everyone was happy with their food. One member of our group is gluten-free and especially loved the gluten-free pepperoni pizza. If you're looking for a casual spot in Newport that's great for groups, this is definitely worth checking out!

Hands down...delicious! I had the special with scallops,…read moreangel hair and capers. The scallops were cooked to perfection. And the sauce was lemony and salty. My side was the Caesar salad. Just the right amount of salt and pepper! Delicious. My hubby got the chicken and waffles. That gravy, oh my goodness! Bomb. Atmosphere is eclectic but fun. Service is TOP TIER!!!! The he place was packed and I see why. Also, I have an allergy to cinnamon. Going anywhere in October, I can be subjected to cinnamon. Our server, Melanie...amazing (ask for her), she made sure to tell the chef about my allergy. Wanted to order a dessert, but she asked the chef and he advised I could not due to possibility of having cinnamon. Very gracious server and chef!

I was treated to a birthday meal at Brick Alley Pub by a friend. I hadn't been there in years & had…read moreforgotten how fun & funky it was. We had reservations for 6PM but arrived shortly after 5PM. They were gracious enough to accommodate us immediately. Our server was friendly & attentive but very inexperienced. My friend ordered Salmon Piccata & she had no idea what that was... she thought it was served with scallops & pasta! We had to explain that Piccata was a sauce with capers; again, she didn't know what capers were. Fortunately, the kitchen understood the order & my friend received the correct dish. Unfortunately, the ends of the salmon were dry & inedible. However, she did enjoy most of the fish & the sides (mashed & veg), and there was enough to bring home. She also had a cider cocktail which, with the sugared rim, was a little too sweet. She would have liked a bit more cider, too. I had the patty melt with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was large & very good. I'm not a huge fan of thick-cut sweet potato fries; if I had known I probably would have opted for another side, as there's a $3 upcharge. The pickle was fantastic! I also had a glass of J. Lohr Cab, which was a good sized pour for $11. Prices were reasonable. Parking is always an issue in Newport. There is metered street parking & paid lots. Beware, parking is diligently monitored & tickets are $60!

The service is always friendly. This time, they had a new special that made me post this review. It was seared scallops, served over a smoky corn puree with BACON and heirloom tomatoes. I have had many dishes at the common pub, but this one was my favorite. The scallops were large, tender, and beautifully seared. The corn puree was not overly smoky but full of flavor, and the bacon added the flavor only bacon can. Best of all, this huge dish was $26. That is expensive for the Common Pub, but this dish would have been much more expensive anywhere else. If you haven't tried it yet, you are truly missing out.

The menu said the burger is 11.99 and comes with cheese, but it was rung up as 13.99 plus 50 cents for cheese. (This is the case with both the online menu and the IRL menu.) They have a few games going on the TVs. There's a pool table in the back as well. Service was slow (I think they might be understaffed?) but the waitress was very friendly!

Jukebox, booths to sit in and a pool table. Oh and keno. We started with the famous Bloody Mary. I couldn't believe what I saw when it was finished. Also made some nice breakfast shots and mimosas.
