About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Charming
We’re an eclectic blend of Newport vibes — from the historic bank vault behind our marble bar to the Bellevue Ave-inspired details in our lounge. Our cocktails bring you back to the Newport of decades ago. We’re proud to serve quality, locally sourced victuals (it rhymes with ‘skittles’) — all in an immersive dining experience.

    Stopped by Bar and Board in Newport and had mixed feelings. The food was flavorful but greasy, which took away from the overall quality. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was stylish and inviting. Unfortunately, the bartender was rude, which made the experience less enjoyable. Given the high ratings, I expected better service and food execution.

    Bar and Board is always a great experience. Our server, Sailor, was attentive and energetic. She also had suggestions for things to try on the menu. Great food and drinks, lively crowd! A must visit on Thames St!

    Offered a great vibe. Looking for a quieter setting upstairs dining is better. The food is delicious and our waitress Sailor, had such a great personality and is an asset. Highly recommend.
