Nestled on Bannister's Wharf, The Black Pearl melds nautical charm with a lively atmosphere, serving up acclaimed clam chowder and fresh seafood from its bustling summer patio.
"Sitting at The Black Pearl, you can almost hear the sailors from old-timey Newport singing and stomping on the floorboards. However, we’re confident the menu is leagues better than anything they were eating in the 1600s. You’ll see fresh fish and a raw bar, fancy pub food like chicken pot pie in a flaky buttered pastry, and a great burger with rosemary onion confit. Tables are first come, first serve, so head here for lunch and grab a spot in the wood-trimmed dining room or one of their covered patio tables behind ropes in the middle of bustling Bannister’s Wharf. You can also always pick up a cup of their famous New England clam chowder from their takeout window and sit on a bench as you watch the boats sail by." - danielle rose

"The Black Pearl is a historic Newport institution with three dining options for every occasion. Eat outside on the waterfront patio, people watch and order the clam chowder, it’s hands-down the best in town. Below deck, the Commodore’s Room is the more classic option with wood-paneled walls and a seafood-centric menu. The Tavern is loud, fun and more of a sport’s bar. Whichever option you choose, both the atmosphere and the food are guaranteed to be good. "
"The Black Pearl for its view of 'life on Bannister’s Wharf.'"
