Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant

Absolutely loved the atmosphere and vibe, such cool old signs and such!! We tried getting a reservation but couldn’t so we just walked in and were able to get a table for four. Had a great waitress but can’t remember here name, but was a paralegal from Boston. Everyone’s food was fantastic and such great portions! Can’t wait to go back….we’ve been here a couple of days and this is by far the best restaurant we went to.

Great restaurant and glad we decided to stop by as walk-in despite no availability online. We ordered mussels, clams and some dinner to share. And everything was absolutely delicious, especially the sole. The portions were huge and we didn't have room for dessert, although the huge browny/ice cream dessert at the table next to us caused quite a stir amongst everyone around it. Friendly service from hostess to waitress; even chatted with the manager and shared our delight with the place. If ever in Newport, do check it out.

We stumbled upon The Brick Alley Pub thanks to a great recommendation from our trolley driver, Rob—and what a find! This place is bursting with eclectic charm, packed with fun antique memorabilia on every wall. It’s like walking into a cozy museum-meets-pub—there’s something to admire in every corner. The bar area is separated so perfect if you have small Kids too! Despite being pressed for time (we had a return water taxi scheduled for our cruise), our server was incredibly accommodating. We let her know we had only an hour, and she made sure everything was smooth and efficient without making us feel rushed. We started with their famous beef nachos, which were absolutely delicious—layers of crispy chips, melted cheese, and perfectly seasoned beef. My friends opted for the all-you-can-eat salad bar, which was impressively stocked with a huge variety of fresh toppings, dressings, and sides. A true salad-lover’s dream! I ordered their award-winning Lobster Salad Sandwich, served cold as recommended. It did not disappoint—light, flavorful, and loaded with fresh lobster meat. It came with classic coleslaw and a side of sweet potato fries, which were perfectly crispy and just the right amount of sweet. Before heading out, we also grabbed a few tee-shirts for our husbands—a fun way to support local businesses and take home something memorable. Little souvenirs like that always make vacations last just a bit longer when you’re back home. If you’re in Newport and looking for a spot that’s full of personality, local flavor, fantastic bar area and great food, I highly recommend stopping in at The Brick Alley Pub. It’s now one of my favorite hidden gems from the trip!

We went as a group of 8. Everything came out amazing! Especially liked the Portuguese little necks, cowboy nachos and brie and apple bruchsetta. If you love Martinis this is the place to be. The bartender mixed up the best chocolate martini ever with no cream!! The atmosphere was fun, lively and decorated for Christmas! If you are in Newport it is a must!

We had lunch and were pleased with the gluten free options. They have a separate gluten free menu and the server was very knowledgeable about allergies and cross contamination. My partner with celiacs ordered the clam chowder and the lobster Reuben on gf bread. I had the nachos (which are apparently the item to get here). My only complaint was that because the chips are fried onsite in a non-separate fryer they aren't suitable for celiacs. A simple solution could be to keep a few bags of separate gluten free chips on hand for people with allergies, but I appreciated that the server was knowledgeable enough to warn us about potential cross contamination.

Pricey but fun, unique atmosphere with many things to look at. Calamari tasted fresh and crispy. The fish and chips were okay, not much crunch or crisp from anything. Beef short rib sandwich was tender and flavorful. Overall, great vibes and average food.

Brick Alley Pub & Restaurant in Newport, RI is a lively and welcoming spot that blends classic charm with a fun, casual vibe. Located on Thames Street, it’s perfect for families, date nights, or just grabbing a drink with friends. The menu is huge think award winning burgers, fresh seafood, pastas, and even a lobster roll voted one of the best in America. Inside, the decor is packed with antiques, sports memorabilia, and even an old Chevy truck, giving it a nostalgic feel. The staff are friendly, the portions are generous, and the energy is always upbeat. It’s a true Newport favorite.

Don’t let the ugly yellow awning fool you, this place is a must-visit! Portions are huge and food is delicious. Whether it be nachos, fried mozzarella, turkey club, fish and chips or a burger, you can’t go wrong! There is something for everyone. Service is also great, never have to flag down wait staff for refills, etc. I recommend making a reservation - Thames St. is a very busy area and there is usually a wait.

Always a go to favorite of mine when we visit Newport. I keep holding off writing a review because every time I go in we have so much fun I forget to take pictures! My only complaint is during busy times there will definitely be a wait, but if you can get it, it's a fun, lively atmosphere. We've been numerous times and our favorites so far are the cod, lobster roll and any of the pizzas. Probably the buffalo chicken pizza is my fav. The menu has a lot of choices and the prices are reasonable for the area. I would definitely recommend! Next time I go I'll remember to add pictures lol.

A Newport institution. Ask them yourself, it's on their website. The good old BAP. The BAP doesn't try too hard. It knows who it is, is comfortable with itself, and you can do what you will with it. The BAP is an independent woman and it doesn't need you - it has troves of other suitors waiting in the wings - i.e. foyer - should you yourself not be charmed by its offerings. The decor: Oh boy. Hmm. Well think if Applebees threw up on another Applebees and then another Applebees threw up on it too and so there is quintessential "local memorabilia" everywhere and you can't even see the walls and there is also an actual truck in the restaurant. In recent trips we have had the following: Clam chowder. Love it. It reminds me of a fresh version of that canned Progresso or Campbell's Chunky your mom would make you after coming in from playing in the snow. Again, not trying too hard theme. Not too thick so you still have room for your meal, and no surprising flavor notes here. If you have a kiddo, they'll prob like this one. Short ribs: Shockingly I say shockingly good. My husband ordered this on a whim to my vocal concern and it was amazing. Tender, juicy, flavorful, the whole thing. On our last visit, the woman sitting next to me was praising her meal as "the best thing she had eaten in six months" and I had to ask what she had ordered .... sure enough, it was the short ribs. Fisherman's Cod: Soliddddd. Most of the fish entrees here are stuffed and baked which rings 1980s and are bland in my experience. I also don't think Millennials and Gen Z get excited about stuffed shrimp like their moms and grandmas do and that the menu could be updated here. The Fisherman's Cod is a nice solution to this menu issue consisting of a huge piece of white fish surrounded in a stew of sorts of sautéed kale, white beans, tomatoes, and chorizo for the flavor bomb. The fish itself needs more seasoning but just grab that salt and pepper and do it yourself and voila chef you have a good, healthy, flavorful meal. Broccoli Hollandaise: Is this a real thing? I don't think so - I think they made it up. But anyway not bad if you want a relatively healthy side instead of mashed potatoes or fries. Basically steamed broccoli with a cheese sauce (it's not real hollandaise). Comforting, just like you BAP. Portuguese Baked Clams and Littlenecks: Both good and chorizo heavy. They really like chorizo here. Lobster Roll: Nothing to write home about. Would skip and get elsewhere. Meh meh meh meh meh. Ahi Tuna Sliders: Not really sliders. Slices of ahi tuna on wontons. Light appetizer and fine enough. The Red Parrot does the ahi tuna game better and has a bunch of options in various forms for that. Nachos: One of their most popular items but hit or miss. When one chooses nachos as a dinner entree or, even more concerning, as an appetizer, one is generally either starving or comfort-eating and has made a choice to throw health and hell to the wind in the name of cheesy beefy dippable goodness. 50/50 at BAP if you will get what you bargained for or instead a heat lamp, dried up travesty. If you want to hedge your bets, I would suggest ordering a side of chili over them. Note: One of the few places left anywhere that has an intact soup and salad bar post-COVID. You can add it to your entree or get it alone - although either are kind of a ripoff. Also, they give you the tiniest bowls which is really annoying. You're walking back and forth to your table over and over carrying these mini bowls of soup trying not to create a Tide commercial. Overall BAP, you keep doing you, you little Newport institution you.

Having not been to Newport in four years because of Covid and health, I was so looking forward to a bowl of lobster bisque. This is literally my favorite soup. Ever. This trip I was extremely disappointed. What have you done to this masterpiece?! My bowl was put in a cup container half full. I guess I shouldn't complain because this was not very good. At all. So much has changed in four years. Not for the better. I am highly disappointed. Not coming back until this is fixed.

We haven't been here in a bit, mostly due to avoiding the summer craziness downtown. We stopped in for a quick bite to eat, around 8. We were seated with no issue, even while my husband drove around to find parking. Our waitress was helpful and pointed out the lot across the street was open but not charging. I ordered the sweet and spicy marg-tini which was as delightful as I anticipated. I also ordered the pepperoni pizza and was delighted. My husband has celiac and was able to be accommodated with a gluten free bun and potato salad. We'll be back again. Service was great and food delicious!

I got the seared chilled ahi tuna salad and it was delicious!! Service was so great, and the overall vibe of the restaurant is so unique!

this is the place to bring a large group and treat everyone to some high quality unique takes on classic dishes! their gluten free menu is amazing. i brought a party of 5 on the day the winter storm was supposed to start and it is crazy that all this food pictured was $100. that's generally unheard of in this economy but especially in newport. everyone was either overly full or took home leftovers. our server was super attentive like bringing us little plates for sharing and extra lemons and the little details that make dining easier and more fun. the decor was a vibe and we got a booth by the window so we people watched on thames in between conversations. the fish and chips tasted like london fried cod it was soooo well done. my brother is a critic of lobster bisque and said this was the best he's had in the country. so glad we came and definitely will be back with more friends.

Delicious well prepared fresh food, friendly and understanding staff and memorabilia from early 1900s on. Looking forward to returning!

In the heart of town we found this amazing meal! Scallops piccata were super tasty. Yes, there is a salad bar in the picture, where did they all go? The place was so crazy busy but we got in at the bar. Even with all of the people around and the hustle and bustle we received pretty good service. There's lots to look at with all if the old license plates on the wall. Mussels were outstanding! Kept trying to get back there but we were only in town for 4 days... next time!

Brick Alley Pub is located right on Thames Street and therefore in the middle of touristy Newport. Parking is either street metered or paid parking lots. Inside it's decorated with a lot of nostalgia lending it to having a great and fun atmosphere and consists of several rooms where you can be seated. I noticed a full size salad bar in my dining room It was lunch time and I ordered a bowl of clam chowder ($11) to start to be followed by the New England Cod sandwich with fries ($16). The clam chowder was excellent (5). Great rich flavor. Get it and it won't disappoint! The sandwich was on a soft bun and the fish was fluffy and light tasting. It didn't taste like it was heavily fried and I enjoyed it (4). The fries here are the thick steak fry type (3). My waitress (Julia) was very friendly and responsive. I like this restaurant and would have returned if staying longer. Brick Alley is a very good place to eat in a neat atmosphere.

This was a great experience from beginning to end. We were on our way to another restaurant where we had reservations for lunch, but decided to visit more of a Newport staple with some history. I'm glad that we did! We were seated immediately, and the place seemed pretty busy for a Monday afternoon. Julia was our server and she was delightful. All of the food that we ordered was fresh and delicious... I loved my New England clam chowder.. and the fried cod sandwich was on point. You receive nice size portions.. but the star of the show was probably my husband's "stuffie"... I believe it was stuffed clams...with a bit of a kick. A winner. It was a great choice to wash my food down with a couple of glasses of rose sangria. Perfectly balanced and didn't lose its taste from the ice as time went on. Love the cool decor from back in time... that is the other star of the show, especially on the way to the bathroom upstairs. We left stuffed and happy!

Everyone suggested we check out this place while in Newport. Let's start with the great things. 1. Such a cute vibe with lots of history. 2. Lots of cool decorations and interesting stuff on the walls. 3. The service was great and super friendly. Now why I gave it a three: 1. The food was just okay. We got tuna bites, clams, pizza and the quahogs. All of it was good but not great, nothing I would go back for. Maybe we just didn't try the right thing but wasn't my favorite. 2. It is also really busy in there and hard to get a seat, we finally did get a seat at the bar but the stools are super close together so hard to eat. I would say try it while you are in town for the historical piece and the great service!

What's not to love about this iconic Newport restaurant? They have great food, a wide selection of drinks including some extra top shelf liquor, lots of tables, a lively bar, and a mix of local people and tourists. I love the way it's decorated with all its signs from the past. They even offer a gluten free menu! My husband ate chicken wings and had the three tender steak medallions. I ate the salmon. Everything was outstanding!

We stopped here for brunch on Labor Day. We were the first ones seated as soon as the restaurant opened. Pretty good luck because it filled up quickly! We got the burrata salad and the beef short rib sandwich as our meals. I also got the strawberry refresher mocktail. Everything was delish. It's located in an awesome part of town, walking distance to everything so we walked around post lunch. Lots of street parking.

Amazing food! Must visit when nearby Newport. I had Portuguese littleneck-the soup was delicious; deep flavor with spices and scent of parsley stuffed sole- sole fillet was tender and the stuffing was flavorful, juicy and tasty. Broccoli as a side dish was a great choice. Kelly helped us with food recommendation- she was super friendly :) overall, great experience

This place was by far my favorite! You could literally smell how clean it was before walking in the door. It was busy so we had a 20 minute wait before being seated. They ask for your mobile number so that they can text you whenever your table is ready. The restaurant itself is very interesting with lots of things to look at. It's laid back and welcoming. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our time there. I ordered a berry lemonade to drink and it was very good. You could barely taste the alcohol and it was very easy to drink quickly. For my entree I ordered the steak medallions with Cajun Dijon and it was beyond delicious. One of the best cooked steaks that I've had. Plus the sauce was simply fantastic. For my side I went with the garlic mashed potatoes and they were good as well. I would definitely recommend trying this place if you have the opportunity!

Perfect location, and friendly service. I ordered the clam chowder and fries. Clam chowder was okay. Tasted like it had more cream than anything. I wouldn't order it again. My husband however has ate here many times and ordered other things off the menu and highly recommends it. Def worth a try.

My girlfriend and I visited Rhode Island for her birthday! We were close to this place which had great reviews and decided to give it a try. Upon entering we noticed the decor which we really liked. The hostess seated us down by the window which was good. The waitress we had was a little odd when she approached us. She did introduce herself but was kind of rushing us. We did advise her we just sat down and needed time to look at the menu. Once we figured out our order we waited for the waitress to return. We placed the order which was a Cranberry mock mule, tropical mocktail, clam chowder, a lobster roll with melted butter, and a regular lobster roll. With the drinks, the cranberry mock mule was ok. It lacked cranberry juice and barely any ginger beer. The Tropical mocktail was really good which consisted of coconut, orange juice, pineapple, Geraldine. The lobster rolls were served on a potato roll instead of the split roll which I thought was different. My girlfriend's lobster rolls with hot butter was ok at best. The melted butter did not add any flavor. My lobster rolls which was the regular, had some flavor but still needed something else. The fries that came with them were good but not that crispy. I would've given three stars but the waitress we had did not appear to be friendly. She looked like she didn't want to be there or did not want to serve us. When we asked for napkins and straws, she just placed them at the end of the table without saying anything to us and walked away. Her demeanor was unacceptable along with her attitude! We will not return to this place!

Very cool atmosphere and good service but the food is just ok. They need to make the menu much smaller and focus a the quality of the food IMO. Wings were good. Fried shrimp platter was not crispy. Fried cod sandwich was just ok. Corned beef Reuben was just ok the corned beef was very chewy. Salad bar is kind of creepy - thought those didn't exist anymore especially after covid. ( take that out and add some more tables instead.

On recommendation of our trolley tour driver, we stopped at the Brick Alley for a bite and a drink. I had a sashimi tuna sandwich which was delicious and my wife had French Onion soup, also excellent. My Whistle Pig Manhattan is the best one I've had in a while, and my wife had the Mudslide. Service was flawless. Looking forward to another stop!

Nice menu with something for everyone. Got the spinach and artichoke dip. Came with bacon and shaved parmesan on top. Definitely top 3 of the spinach dips I've had in my life. I ordered the steak and stuffed shrimp entree with garlic mashed potatoes. The shrimp was stuff with scallops and crab. I was stuffed after this meal. They have an extensive drink menu with a great espresso martini. Very cool decorations keeps your eyes busy. I highly recommend to come here while in Newport! Great service. Friendly welcoming waitress.

Such a cool atmosphere inside with retro 50's-70's signs & decor. The staff was very attentive. We were told this is one if not the top place to grab a bite to eat and it did not disappoint. The bbq burger was cooked perfectly and loaded with toppings. Definitely worth checking out'

This place was busy. I Walked in and saw people waiting for tables. Went to the bar and found a seat. I needed to try a lobster roll and it did not disappoint. The roll came overstuffed with succulent pieces of lobster. They also have an unlimited salad bar that's popular. This place was busy with locals and tourist alike. Definitely worth checking out.

Got the turkey club. Food was delicious. Surprisingly busy for when we went during the week, but the place is decent size s d we had no trouble getting a table. The waitress was friendly. There's a lot going on with the wall decor, but it's interesting to look at everything. The bathrooms were clean as advertised.

We had a really nice dinner here. From baked cod to ahi tuna to trips to the salad bar, it was all amazing. We were also all happy with our fabulous drinks. Our waitress was hilarious and lots of fun. All in all we had a wonderful dinner here and a great time.

Those I was with said their meals were very good. I thought my pizza was just ok but it was more like Focaccia/ less like what I'd consider regular pizza. Service was average. They did have a pretty large drink list. Overall ambiance was that of a regular bar, nothing crazy but ok for lunch.

Comfort food extravaganza! Such an amazing meal and a must for Newport visitors. This was by far my favorite dinner in Newport. Plenty of variety on the menu, friendly service, and of course it was all delicious. Walked in sans reservation on a Wednesday night and waited 20 minutes. Big establishment with a lot of tables but snag a reservation if you can. Especially on weekends! Once seated in a booth, we enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. The walls were lined in newspaper clippings detailing local stories from years past. Once I was sipping on a fruity and fizzy rose sangria, I opted to order calamari for the table. They were cooked perfectly! Loved the addition of peppers on the plate. For dinner I had to try the lobster Rueben and wow! Let's make this more common because I LOVED it. The best part was how PACKED full of lobster it was. This sandwich had some weight on it. Smothered beautifully with thousand island along with Swiss and sauerkraut. Seems more classic than the classic. And of course I had to steal a bite of the lobster Mac and cheese my mom ordered. So devine and rich! And again, packed to the brim with lobster meat. They definitely give you your moneys worth. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Newport. In fact, I'll make a special trip to Newport for another Lobster Rueben at Brick's!

This venue has everything from fresh seafood to burgers and steaks. It is a great place to bring a big group or if you just want to have a night out with a friend. It's lively and fun and nothing I have eaten here has been disappointing. Great cocktails too! They also have a private events space on the 2nd floor - which offers a buffet style menu which is fully customizable. Make a reservation as this place gets busy!

Visiting Newport and came across this gem. Awesome vibe inside with the bar area (where we ate) and restaurant. New England Clam chowder was great. Huge nachos platter for the two of us and the beer was superb. If I'm in town I will definitely be back!

This place is a Newport, Rhode Island landmark. The atmosphere is so chill and cool vibe. The service is always friendly and welcoming. The New England Clam chowder is some of the very best. Add the hot lobster rolls for an excellent dinner.

Started off with fried calamari as an appetizer which was fried really well! Loved its pairing with the banana peppers and marinara sauce. The lobster roll was okay, not much butteriness from the bread or flavor from the meat. The fries weren't very crispy either. The lobster Mac and cheese on the other hand was flavored well, although a bit too salty for my palate. Overall would recommend the calamari and lobster Mac and cheese only!

we put our name down saturday night around 5 and were told it would be a 2 hour wait. we kept it and ended up only waiting about 1 hour. we were sat and had the cutest waitress. i got the chocolate covered cherry martini to drink and it was delicious! for food i ordered off the special menu and got the surf and turf with a side of mac and cheese! everything was super tasty and the vibes were fantastic!! it was a little more on the expensive side (about $40-$50 per person) but overall 10/10 experience!

The staff is amazing and friendly and the food is always good. I just want to acknowledge some of the few I had interactions with that always had a smile and made sure every guest was happy. It's that kind of engagement and friendliness that foebme stands out and will always keep me coming back to a restaurant. So thanks to Carrah Olivia Caitlin Ana Nikki Jordan We can review food all day long but forget the people that make it and take care of us to give us that wonderful experience.

Decided to try BAP based on the recommendation of a bartender from another establishment. We went by later in the evening figuring we had missed the dinner rush but instead caught the back end of it. We were advised it was going to be a 40 minute wait and we opted to take our chances finding seats the bar. We lucked out as two people were leaving. Our drinks were strong and the aesthetic in there will keep your eyes from getting bored. The walls are filled with vanity license plates and all sorts of crazy stuff. I noticed that even their top shelf bottled liquors are dust free and the place is kept clean. I opted for the bacon cheeseburger while my fiancée had the Chicken Parmesan. I've got to say easily one of the biggest, most delicious and perfectly cooked burgers I've possibly had. It was a challenge to actually finish and I barely touched the fries. The chicken Parmesan was an enormous breast (or two?) and half of that came home in a box but it was prepared expertly and the sauce was on point. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in Newport. I can't even imagine how busy this place must be during the Summer months!

Such a quintessential Newport spot! The decor gives off a local dive vibe. There was a 35 minute wait to be seated for dinner without a reservation which isn't bad for a Friday night. We were seated near the bathroom and had a nice enough server attend to us. She was knowledgeable about food allergies (I needed something gluten and dairy free) but we waited close to an hour for our food to come out because, apparently, she had to send it back since the kitchen made it on a regular roll. She was apologetic. It was almost worth the wait. The gluten free lobster roll is very delicious and I am grateful to have been able to experience this! Generous chunks of lobster meat on a soft gf roll. It came with slaw despite my ask for broccoli. The broccoli that did come out was covered in butter. So we asked for a dairy free one and then when the second broccoli came out it was way over cooked and had the consistency of a purée. Without any seasoning, or salt at the table, it was not worth it. Five stars for the lobster roll and three stars for everything else. I'd return again just to see if I'd have a different experience and update my review if warranted. Worth a try but not a must!

Amazing pub food. I was in town for the folk festival. Searched reviews for best in the area and Brick Alley did not disappoint. Superior service sitting at the bar. Had the clam chowder. Absolutely fresh. Bacon cheeseburger cooked to perfection. Ice cold draft beer in a clean glass. I didn't try other pubs in the area, but this will be very hard to beat.

Since we arrived to Newport for our mini vacay, we had noticed how there was always a line of people outside this restaurant. Didn't matter what time of day, as we walked around all afternoon and evening. This place was happening and people were in the know. This afternoon, we decided to give it a try...at 3:30. No line, but a 20min wait. All the tables were occupied and it smelled delicious. The hostess took our cell number and we proceeded to shop around the shops until we received a text. When we came back to be seated, a few couples were exiting and commenting on how surprised they were at the wait time in the middle of the day. We weren't the only ones who noticed! I ordered a mocktail called the Refresher as it was over 80 degrees and humid and we had just done the Cliffwalk in the blazing heat, and let me tell you- that beverage was such a thirst quencher I could've ordered 3 more! We ordered a greek salad and chicken tenders with fries to share for a light snack. Our waitperson was super friendly and checked on us multiple times despite how busy she was. Kudos to her for not forgetting about us! The greek salad was pretty good filled with peppers, olives, red onions, plenty of feta and tomatoes. The dressing was a little drenched for my taste, where it made the lettuce a bit soggy. I prefer very light dressing and crispy lettuce! The chicken tenders were very generous in size and the breading was well seasoned. The fries were not bad, but I prefer more crisp in the exterior. The establishment itself was pleasant and clean, and had a great vibe. The customers all seemed to be enjoying themselves- especially by the bar- and the waitstaff appeared to be very efficient. All in all, a decent place to grab a reasonably priced snack/meal from friendly & attentive waitstaff in a clean & cheery ambiance! Just be prepared to wait a little bit!

Stopped in for lunch and decided to share a few plates. We started with spicy cauliflower bites that were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. We then shared the zuppa di clams and the ahi tuna salad. Both delicious and very generously portioned. My husband ordered the Newport Sailor Punch to drink and it tasted like vacation in a glass in all the best ways. The service from Mikella was incredible as well. This is the kind of place you can go with anyone for any occasion. The menu is large and diverse and sure to please. We would have taken photos but the food was consumed to quickly.

A cold and blustery day can only be resolved by going to the Brick Alley Pub! A comfort dish, may it be a burger or bowl of pasta, will warm you right up. Pair it with a martini from their drink list and you'll be toasty in no time! I had the tomato mozzarella sandwich with a side salad and it was delicious and perfect for lunch. I also had a peanut butter martini which was the definition of perfection! This wasn't our first rodeo at the Brick Alley Pub- we've been here many times before. We had a reservation and the manager had us in and seater before our reservation time! She was super nice and understanding when our party downsized since we had people back out. Warm and inviting atmosphere, the Brick Alley Pub is definitely a staple in Newport that you must try once if not for dinner then definitely a martini!

Our server Mad was very friendly and efficient. Even though it was busy we never felt rushed. Food was great and plentiful.

This year they let our rep rent out the whole back corner for lunch - this was so nice to throw appetizers on one table and let us all walk around and mingle!! What a great way to experience this place! As always amazing. Had calamari, buffalo tenders, mozzarella sticks, and the bacon chicken and ranch pizza!

Friends recommended we check out the Brick Alley Pub during our visit to Newport. It's a great lunch spot with a vibrant atmosphere. There's a lot of history and community with pictures to add to the atmosphere. Definitely order a burger or the Turkey club! The mocktails were tasty too. We ordered the pineapple mockjito and a frozen watermelon drink. Very refreshing from all of the sight seeing. Excellent service! If you're looking for a comfortable local spot, this is it!

Very good food. Had the short rib sandwich. My daughter called the decor maximalist. They have tons of stuff hanging from the walls and ceiling. Waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten allergies.

Decided to pop in here for a quick lunch. It was extremely busy for a Tuesday afternoon. I was able to snag a seat at the bar. The restaurant itself has a fun atmosphere. I was greeted by the bartender within a few minutes and ordered a soda as well as the lobster roll. They brought me my drinks a couple of minutes later and the food followed shortly after that. To be fair, I'm not really a lobster fan, but wanted to give it another shot given it's really popular in the area. The lobster was served on a hotdog bun that's toasted and came with a giant serving of french fries and coleslaw. I will say for the price, I was pretty surprised at how small the roll itself was. Though given the portion of food in general was large I guess it wasn't too bad. I do think it was pretty tasty, but still not super satisfying. My favorite part of the meal was their housemate coleslaw. It was nice, refreshing and light. I would definitely come back and try one of their other seafood items. The person next to me ordered the ahi tuna with the salad and it looked amazing!

It was decent. I didn't go deep into the menu and only got the steamer clams. They were decent. Nothing crazy special or something you would want to wait an hour for.

Fabulous food with great taste, ample portions, and a very cool vibe. The lobster mac & cheese was phenomenal. Huge pieces of claw meet and perfectly prepared. Spouse got a burger and sweet potato fries and she liked both. Significant wait even at 1:45 on a Wednesday but it was leaf season so town is busy.

I'd give this a 3.5. After a busy day on vacation, my mom and I stopped in for a salad as dinner. As antique fans, we loved all the vintage signs! We each ordered the Harvest Salad (Mixed greens with thinly sliced apples, Great Hill Blue Cheese, dried cranberries and chopped walnuts. Served with balsamic vinaigrette on the side). I got mine with the Cajun chicken added. The chicken was excellent! The greens were fresh. The dressing however was sooo acidic, it was a bit unpleasant. I love highly acid foods as does my mom and we both usually add extra dressing to salads. This dressing needed to be used in moderation. My lips and tongue were stinging! We also didn't really like that the dining area we sat in had multiple TVs on. I think it's fine in the bar area but it just made things feel a bit too hectic in the back dining room. The menu had a wide variety of options and we loved the decor. I'd still give this place another try and just get a different dressing or something else from the menu.

Our waitress, Kelly, was hands down AMAZING! She went out of her way to make our evening great. She had great insight and recommendations of newport! The restaurant is really cute and the vibes are great. Food was good, lots on the menu. There's something for everybody!

I use to love Brick Alley Pub ! I've lived here since 1995 but I was just incredibly insulted and treated in a disrespectful manner at the bar. I will never be back. The young bartender was rude and condescending on November 19th. Good luck to them

Incredible. Our server holly was outstanding. She was personable and a pure joy. We came right before the lunch rush in the offseason. Our food was outstanding. The service was on point. The interior is decorated with all sorts of Americana. Folks were coming like crazy to eat. I would definitely come back providing there isn't a huge wait. We got in before any wait started at 1245pm.
