The Newport

We had lunch at The Newport with friends and it’s such a beautiful spot to spend the afternoon. The waterfront views are absolutely stunning and really make the whole experience, perfect for a relaxed catch up or group lunch. The food itself was good but nothing particularly spectacular, the kind of dishes you could find in many other places. That said, everything was enjoyable and well presented. The staff were attentive and very friendly. At times they were almost a little too eager to check in, sometimes when we had just taken one bite or had not even started yet, but it clearly comes from a place of wanting to provide good service. Overall, it is a fantastic venue for the atmosphere and scenery, especially if you are after a lunch with a view.

Very impressive. We stopped in for a drink at the bar. Then we wandered around to find nibbles. What a labyrinth of paths that lead to 3 different eateries. There’s a games area, plenty of seating and a nice walk down to the water with a stunning view of the Pittwater Marina. Highly patronised venues within the venue. Deceiving from the frontage and expansive when you step into the place. Definitely worth a visit. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is this is an Australian classic that everyone should visit the Newport overlooking Bayview. There’s nothing like it on an afternoon sunset with wildlife sitting in the trees and boats sailing by - the food is pub quality but elevated the with great pizzas and any kind of drink you can think of can be made plus the kids area is great with wooden toys and ping pong tables. The Newport also has great bandages for sporting event broadcast live bands and a great outdoor fire when things get chilly.

AMAZING! The venue is stunning, the food options are fantastic such as the drinks. We had the best afternoon with our friends. The venue is also pretty kids friendly. Their staff are very friendly too. We had one of their signature burger it was sooo tasty! Perfect spot for sunset too. Loved it.

This is one of the nicest options in the area; With beautiful ocean view sitting, variety of drinks and food options, along with ping pong tables. Food quality is ok, but not very high. Also, portions are not very big, but fine. Staff are friendly and welcoming. And prices are ok for the location (on the higher end).

We had a couple of beautiful pizzas, charcuterie plate and a variety of drinks. The food was great, the service behind all the bars friendly and welcoming, the grounds beautifully maintained to create a wonderful atmosphere and experience. Highly recommend, we will back.

Such a nice spot with family to explore & relax with spacious areas for all ages, great for kids. Food was delicious & quality. Beautiful views & away from the city bustle.

Just had another lovely lunch here. Been going for over 10 years, usually 3 to 4 times a year when we visit Sydney. I have to say the staff today were so helpful, smiling, accommodating to kids, and able to bring whatever we asked for. Thank you all team. It was a lovely afternoon. Brendan

Good, food is good and the vibe is great, prices are INSANE but it's Sydney so what more could you wish for. The service is always nice, some people are kind, some ain't.

It's been built up a lot since I came here last. I used to love coming here years ago when I lived in the area. It's a Merivale establishment now and it's been totally redone. With multiple bars and food options the menu was a bit disappointing to be honest. Food being served in cardboard boxes was just a bit unappealing when you are seated outside with gorgeous views. It's also a real waste of packaging. My burger was ok and the food was pretty average for the price. I would have expected a bit more considering we were there long before the crows arrived. Staff are super nice and friendly and the ambience is good. The water spray outside is a nice touch to cool you down on a warm day. The band playing that day was pretty bad and unfortunately we were sitting very close to them which did not help. I am sure I will be back again and I hope they move to a more sustainable way of serving food in the future.

Local reviewer* Classic spot! Great summer and spring vibes. Food is better nowadays. Dunno about company owner.

This place actually feels much more like a resort than a pub but then again I suspect that it has a lot to do with the location, right up near the top end of the Northern Beaches. However, there is still a pub here, though it really wasn't one of my favourites. I guess that it seemed to be just that little too resorty for my tastes, and the staff weren't really the best, though they weren't necessarily bad. I think I'll pass on this one next time.

We were hungry after exploring in the area so my aunt decided that we should eat and enjoy the views at The Newport. This place is massive with about half a dozen food options to choose from. A decent variety of options but damn, things are (over)priced here. We decided to eat at The Shack and get drinks from Will & Co. - Melon madness ($9.00 AUD) - smallest cup of cold pressed juice I've seen in my life! My cousin said it was too sweet and didn't taste great. Skip it. - Summer coffee granita ($6.00 AUD) - this was one of their drink specials. Lots of whipped cream on top. My aunt said she enjoyed it. - Fries ($6.00 AUD) - a good amount and the fries were well seasoned and crispy. - Salt & pepper calamari ($21.00 AUD) - lime, white pepper, chili and garlic. The calamari cools down quite quickly but it's lightly fried and you get a good amount. The slices of chili peppers (not spicy) and cilantro is a nice touch. - Black quinoa & zucchini salad ($18.00 AUD) - black quinoa, roasted zucchini, rocket, almonds, goat's curd and preserved lemon dressing. This was actually really good! More than you'd expect and for a salad, it's really tasty (with the crunchy almonds and savoury goat cheese). This was my favourite. - Chicken schnitty ($19.00 AUD) - crumbed breast, cheese, butter lettuce, b&b pickles and aioli. It also came with a side of bean sprout salad. How sad is that? My cous liked the schnitzel but left pretty much all of the sprouts. The food is decent but you're paying for the views and atmosphere here. Might be more worth it if you're a big group with mixed tastes.

I went here for dinner with my family. I give the food 3 stars, but i add 1 more star for the view. Its a good place to hangout with your family. You can take many pictures here. The view are very beautiful. You can also watch sunset here. Sometimes they have live music. The place is very cozy and they also have places for kids to play. For the food i ordered pizza, fish and chips, chicken sandwich all taste average. You can also bring your pets here! CONCLUSION = RECOMMENDED!!

The two of us had an amazing lunch here today. The salads were very tasty and huge, and the cocktails were great. The real standout was the service. Our waitress Ella was one of the best we have ever encountered. We were both very grateful for her service. Go early, sit in the table service area overlooking Pittwater, and relax and enjoy. Will be back.

Extremely overrated and overpriced. Great outlook, terrible set up. All the locals would prefer the Bayfields still owned the venue, because Merivale does absolutely nothing for regulars, Justin doesn't even buy the locals a beer at Xmas.

Came here for drinks when visiting family in nearby Collaroy. The grounds of The Newport are large and impressive, with various food options including pizza, noodles, seafood and coffee and pastries. Food and drink is reasonably priced for the type of establishment. There are beautiful views over the harbour and a lovely relaxing space for al fresco dining and drinks. There is also a stage for live music, and a large kids play area. Plenty to please families, groups and couples alike. The weather was a bit chilly on our visit, but I can imagine it gets really busy when the sun is out, so it would be advisable to book. I will definitely be going back!

Fabulous place. Great views, friendly service, good menu. For lunch we sat under cover by the lake front, with an awesome view out over the water. There was space for the kids to move around and a waiter who stayed on top of our needs throughout. Just perfect. Others had delicious fish and chips, which I sampled. I had a prawn and bugs pasta, a great dose of Aussie seafood. All with a nice bottle of Australian white wine. What a way to spend a sunny spring day. The whole facility is large and complicated. Lots of different food areas. Quite varied seating areas. Some food is self serve; some has waitstaff. Great views abound, but not everywhere.

Went here the other day 'cos i thought the heat might have gone out of it and it might be less crowded. Mistake. Forgot it was school holidays. There were a thousand kids and all of them were happy and playing and running around, it was great. Saw Justin Hemmes but had to brush him because I was trying to decide between pizza, a plate of pumpkin salad (yeah, right) and a bucket of prawns. Keeno and my brother each had a salad, D2 had a pizza and I had the prawns. Pizza won. Its a brilliant refurb as you would expect and I am delighted it is starting to show its hidden potential. More to come no doubt but so far so good. It would have been 5 stars but the prawns were $30 + and thats just a little OTT. The pizzas on the other hand looked sensational and were reasonably priced at about $22. D2 wins again, and she wouldn't let me try some even though I paid, chip off the old block that girl.

Probably one of the biggest pubs in NSW with a massive outdoor area and amazing water views. On sunny weekends this place becomes extremely crowded and parking is a pain. Other than that they have great food options. The Prawn bucket and Pizza's are my favorite.

Went here on a Sunday afternoon and well worth the trip out. Great casual outdoor dining with live jazz. Lots of dining options with a number of shacks serving different menus. Excellent waterfront views and areas for kids to play. Dog friendly

First time I entered here I felt as if I was entering a fairy tale. Great new set up from the previous run down establishment. Food rather expensive, diner burger is good though with a large portion of fries. Different food areas in the garden area which is nice to reduce queues. Plenty of seating so you can usually find a spot!

This place is unmissable if you are exploring the area. The best place for a drink with a view! Glorious beer garden with views of Pittwater. Food is delicious. The kids play area is fun with a lovely cafe with delicious scones for the morning too.

Still a nice view even though had it's covered by the grotesque renovations. Drinks list is worse than your average bowlo at far greater cost.

The first time I went to the Newport, it felt like I was in an adult version of Disney Land: huge venue, beautiful setup and food at every corner. As in every Merivale establishment, The Newport is nicely decorated with different atmosphere at each corner and many options for food and drinks. I wish I was living closer!

Been several times with and without children and love the variety of soaces and fresh food selections. Only need to get in quick cause seating is limited. Waiting for food from different locations means food comes out at different times. But live music is great. Security a bit dopey

Wonderful place! Great food, atmosphere, views, drink selection AND a "kids club" so we could truly relax & enjoy ourselves. Would definitely recommend.
