Newport Blues Caf

Fantastic place! Great vibe, delicious drinks :-) Emily was amazing!

Dope venue!! Great crowds, location, staff and people!! Upstairs is very nice. Just as nice as the every level.

Been coming here every summer since 2004, live music great service and atmosphere

Great music. Fun place to dance and enjoy live music

Was Leary after buying tickets for an event then reading reviews after....About an hour ride for us. We got there early and the place was full...found a seat and wondered if perhaps it was a bad idea. Boy was I wrong !. The place is spotless. My wife and I were treated with nothing but respect from the staff and security. As the night progressed we went outside to get some fresh air, a long line formed outside. We were allowed to reenter without waiting in line. Very nice,friendly place.drinks were cold and reasonably priced. Definitely will be returning next month !

This place was alright I mean I was walking down this road with all the bars and ended up in this spot. This girl was singing with some band and they were ok. After that though the ride back to New Bedford was a long one. Next time I’ll probably get a hotel and spend a few more days exploring the area. 5 stars for this.

Didn’t start off well-website said open at 6PM, didn’t really open until 7PM (more like 7:10). Friendly staff, decent food. Their main thing is the live bands, but it doesn’t start until around two 10 PM, and we weren’t going to stick around for that long.

The live music is always excellent, drinks are good although a bit expansive. The real focal point of this bar is the live music, bands that come in to jam out, have a great time, and ensure the crowd is really digging their tunes. Dont let the name fool you, it may be called the Blues Cafe, but they play a great assortment of music.

Newport Blues Cafe is a great place to listen and dance to live music. Dont let the name fool you, there is much more than the blues here. The cover bands play current top 40, dance, hip hop, rock, country, and as the employees say the bands play a little bit of everything. If youre looking for a place to relax and enjoy a drink with the person you just met or the people who you came with, there are plenty of spots to do just that, relax, enjoy the conversation and do some people watching. The upstairs bar has seating and a large cut out to watch the band and people dancing down below. The bank vault room holds a pool table and extra seating. The staff is friendly and does all they can to make sure you have a great experience. All you need to do is enjoy the music, drinks, bar menu (until 10, but the door men always suggest great places to eat elsewhere if the Blues kitchen is closed). If someone is causing a disturbance the security staff resolves the situation quickly and efficiently. Thats why the Blues is consistently voted best girls night out in Newport. Enjoy...

They do a great job with the talent and every time I go I have the best time. Sarge always greets us with a smile and conversation at the door and makes us feel welcome. The atmosphere is always fun and lively, and its a mandatory stop for my friends and me each night we are in Newport. I like that the bar attracts a diverse range of ages and everyone has the common goal of having fun.

Nice place to go see a concert. Only thing i would like to see fixed, is making sure customers can get out before or at any during the concert. We had a rough time leaving. It was very crowded and people were extremely rude in letting us do so. Other than that, the bartenders and security were great.

Great live music. Not just blues either. If we could have found a seat away from the upper bar that would have been nice, coat check? But the crowd was great, nice staff, good place to unwind.

Live music which can be hard to find in smaller towns/cities. The blues cafe occasionally has well known bands play which is always a treat. Definitely worth checking out and there is a bar upstairs if you want to just watch, listen, and not be amongst throngs of people dancing or gawking.

Nice time... Good atmosphere... excellent band

Great atmosphere and music.

Kicked my friend and I out for absolutely no reason. Really odd.

We stopped in to see the Little Compton Band, and it was amazing. Awesome vibe, environment and, most of all, music. This place met or exceeded all my expectations.

We love this spot! Its a must when in Newport. Live music and you cant beat the chill atmosphere from the upper bar.

This place was the absolute WORST. The staff not only doesnt know how to make drinks, but they are EXTREMELY rude. The blonde manager knows nothing about customer service and seems to be miserable at her job if she cant serve people with common respect, courtesy, or at least a smile. Safe to say save your money and RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

The Newport Blues Cafe is a fun bar to go to they have many different bands that come in there its always a great time in good beer!

Floors were super sticky and gross, but the live bands are awesome.

I love the bands they get and the feel of the place all around is womderful

Terrible food, unfriendly staff, and corny cover bands that play so loud the bartender has to ask you ten times which overpriced and badly mixed drink youre ordering. If youre middle aged with no kids this is the place for you.

Walked in for dinner. No one was insterested in serving food. I watched a table of 4 walk out. Waiting about 10 minutes and walked up to the bar and asked if they were serving dinner. I got a deer in the headlights look. This is a restaurant right? Apparently service isn’t their concern. The place was empty also.

Great place for live music

Our favorite spot for a Sat night. Great drinks

Neat place with a cool upstairs. There is a hole in the 2nd floor so you can watch the band from upstairs.

Great music cool vibes

Great bands, great building. Dance downstairs, take a breath upstairs but keep an eye on the action through the cut out floor.

Really fun place to hang out in Newport. Get a dark and stormy!

Nice coffee and desserts

Paper straws.

Music and cocktails

Expensive. Attracts an older crowd.

This bar was horrible. 30$ min horrible.

Great club
