Barb'z

Staff is extremely sober. Only show up if you’re trying to have a good time. Don’t be a party pooper and show up expecting expectational exquisite performance from the establishment when you’re coming 10 minutes till close. - Jason Weber

Friendly neighborhood bar. Cash only (ATM by door). Cheap drinks. Great bartender. 5 TVs & 2 touchscreen games. Near shops and restaurants.

Barb Z is the heart of the Newport neighborhood. Its commitment to creating a friendly spot for both locals and out-of-towners alike is unmatched and unparalleled. Their dedication to neighborly values and development is something that will continue to bring this town together as other entities might fight to change the landscape. Whether it is feeding a friend at one of their many potlucks, or lending a hand to someone in need, Barb Z is more than just a bar, it’s a Newport institution dedicated to continuing to demonstrate the values that make Newport the beautiful place it is: people who care about people.

Was looking for the more hometown bar chill experience and what me and my cousin got was the opposite. We were treated like trash and all we wanted was a couple cold ones and to chill with some tunes. We were met with threats and thrown out for no reason I could see. Money in hand to pay but completely disappointed and disrespected not what I expected at all. Wouldn't accept cash or my cards I was treated like I was below them and their staff treated me as trash! I didn't spend money because they wouldn't let me card cash or otherwise.

Wife and I had a great time here last night visiting from Asheville, watched the UK game. Great bartender, had fun conversations with a bunch of different regulars. We'll be back.

Nice neighborhood bar. Extremely friendly staff. Great prices on drinks

Very good, nice prices

They have Knob Creek, other bars don't. They had hot metts on the grill. Bartender super friendly. Atmosphere was great. Cozy neighborhood bar

It's pretty much a dump. Totally filled with smoke (can't believe they allow smoking) and doesn't accept anything but cash. Plenty of better options. I'd skip this for sure.
