She went above and beyond for my small order and I wish I could have met her in person! Let's just say that STAR DEPT.

As earlier reviews have attested, this bait shop, though we saw no live bait, nor bought any, has…read moregreat, imaginative, high-quality, cotton T-Shirts. The one I bought and is featured here as a photo, has been worn and washed 3 or 4 times already and it's a winner. It's made to appear weathered, as you might expect from a seafaring location. No clue if their happy hour is or is not , as claimed, legendary. Wished I'd had the time to find out. It's worth the $28.95 price. Other stores will have cheaper ones if that's a budget issue. As others said, this is a must stop, if you want a local souvenir T-Shirt. No other shops really can match the variety and fun shirts featured here. And the staff was very accommodating, as I went through checking out and trying several shirts before deciding on size, image, and color. The shop is centrally located in this busy tourist area of the Thames Street wharf district. It's right near the Pepper Palace that I also have reviewed.

Prices are on the high side so plan accordingly but I feel the quality and uniqueness is worth it. If you see something, regret not getting it, you can either go back or order it to be shipped right to you. While I throughly enjoy a niche market, products and support the message of this shop, it definitely has very strong messaging that some might not like. However, that's what I love about Newport! No one is afraid to stand on their beliefs and open a store with those beliefs front and center. I am definitely going to enjoy this establishment again! Especially on a nice warm summer day. I cannot wait to buy a few more things. Only draw back is the store is small and if you have any type of mobility device like a scooter or wheelchair, you are not going to be able to maneuver around the store and handicapped parking is at quite a distance. I ambulate with a cane so it was easier for me but I did have a hike to get there.

They had a great variety of Lilly stuff- everything from shorts, rompers, shift dresses, dresses, Loro Dresses, skirts, skirts, tank top's Essie tops, and a few sale items as well! They actually had a better selection the signature Lilly Store in Newport, RI! This place used to be open until 3-4 am- but since Covid they close at 8pm- which is still AMAZING- considering the signature Lilly stores close at 5/6pm! I actually got my first Lilly piece HERE 4 years ago! The woman behind the desk was really helpful with sizing and friendly and funny ! She was awesome and this place lets you TRY ON Lilly which a lot of stores don't let you in fitting rooms yet! So that was AWESOME- considering the sizing is all across the board! They had a few other brands but it was mostly Lilly! They had some cute jewelry, wristlets, and little "gazadellas" as well! This store is also really neat and well decorated with sanitizer waiting for you at the door. My only gripe is NO A/C & I was in a full SWEAT- When trying on multiple outfits- other than that it is WITHOUT A DOUBT- my favorite clothing store on Block Island!!
