Came here twice in one day just by happenstance – first for a quick drink while waiting for a friend (and to catch the last bit of a Euro cup game that was on) and then again later in the afternoon for food.
The place was pretty quiet for a Saturday afternoon. Bar staff was nice and they have plenty of TVs to watch on. The food and wait staff, however, left something to be desire — the food was overpriced and absolutely tasteless. We were a group of 5 and not one of us were happy with what we got. Our waitress was not on top of anything (despite only have 1-2 tables to manage) and we had to ask for our bill several times before she remembered.
Decent place to grab a drink (because there isn't much else in the area) but avoid coming here for food!
I'm giving three stars because we had great customer service but as for the food… I think I'm
still dealing with the repercussions for eating there…,
The drinks were not stellar, but they did have my grapefruit beer on tap which is awesome !!! That stuff is amazing but you can only have a couple of them.
We ordered the pu pu platter. The pulled pork was pretty good, slider overcooked, jalepeno poppers just okay should have used diff cheese inside, quesadilla (just don't ) take it off the menu it's hurting you!! We had the nachos which were good, without meat and lastly a Cobb salad. Cobb was good, not a lot of lettuce but a lot of items in it! Bacon, egg, blue cheese etc.
I wouldn't come back unless I was stuck in the area with no better options. I might come for a HH beer though.
Came here for a date night with mah new boo. Those who know me know i'm a hopeless romantic, so it wasn't my first choice, but I rolled with it. I've been to Dorrian's twice before at Passport To Newport events, so I was familiar and happy to come back as a customer.
We received a friendly greetings and choice of table or booth. We cozied up in a booth and before long a waiter approached to ask if we were ready for drinks. I don't recall his name but i'm pretty sure that's because he didn't introduce himself. My honey got a Hendricks on the rocks with olives. He prefers cucumbers so I asked why he got olives and he said "Because they always tell me they don't have cucumbers. They must, in the kitchen, but won't get them for me". (Note: none of the menu salads have cucumber so maybe they really don't. Either way, I wouldn't keep coming to a bar that won't make my preferred drink but he's more forgiving than me, clearly. )
I got the grilled chicken cobb and a moscow mule. Both were serviceable and the salad was surprisingly good. The cobb does not come with egg – I hate eggs so was glad I didn't have to ask for the salad to be altered, but anyone looking for an authentic cobb will be disappointed.
He got wings. No complaints so I guess they were fine.
Overall: Food was serviceable, Service was average – not particularly friendly but adequate. Wouldn't come here for date night again but might be a good option for hanging with friends. Large outdoor seating area will be nice in the warmer months.
This place is easy to overlook, lost in a busy area full of offices, malls and apartments. It has the feel of a rather common Irish bar of the sort you'd find in a mall, but if you can get past that, I have generally found the food and service quite good. It is a more comfortable and low-key option than most of the chains in the area (unless you visit during a game on TV.)
I'd recommend the weekend brunch. It's a typical menu, but the food is good. The place is usually empty early in the day, and it beats dining in the nearby mall.
LOVE this place! It used to be the go-to place for me in Newport before I moved office and home. The Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash, and the appetizers were very good.
The manager, Kimmy, is extremely friendly! He remembered us back our 2nd visit. For our most recent late night snack, he offered a free dessert!
Popped by here to meet up with a friend, and this time I had a little one along. They were great, seating us in the booth and bringing crayons, coloring sheet, her own little plastic cup and letting her be entertained.
Beer and drinks, plenty of great choices. The sliders.. eh, they were ok, but not moist (too dry were the buns), without enough cheese to flavor. The fries were good, but cooled far too fast.
Still, a good place to entertain for a bit and catch up with friends and catch a game, if you're in that mood. Small room to the side where a corporate holiday party was going on.
What a great place for dinner, lunch, or happy hour. The staff here is just amazing and quick in knowing a lot of customers are on business and do not take up too much time. I work down the street and frequent here often with 0 complaints. They have outdoor seating in the summer and a side room for private parties.
My absolute favorite here is the buffalo chicken anything!!! Weather it's the fingers, salad or wrap it is delicious. Many of my co workers enjoy the burgers and chicken sandwiches as well. Dorians is a must do for lunch if you work in the Newport area !!
Stopped by while I was waiting for a friend and ordered a beer, Decent sized bar and pretty decent drink prices.
