Went here with my parents for the first time after only hearing great things. The entrance is on…read morethe side of the building leading to the basement. Upon entrance is a doorman who is so friendly and accommodating! He found us an open table and checked on us throughout the night. The place was packed and they only had maybe 5 or 6 employees so the service was a little slow but understandable. I think the longest wait was about 20 minutes when we were waiting to get our initial drink order taken, but everything after that was fairly quick. For drinks I got a thin mint martini because they were out of the chocolate reuge martini I wanted. It was so yummy and came with 3 thin mint cookies. My mom got a pistachio martini and the Jefferson Tea. Both were pretty good but I wouldn't order again. My dad got Dead Mans Redemption which is good if you like bourbon. It comes with a wood topper and they light it on fire, let smoke fill in the drink, and then take the wood off. The drink then has notes of smoked wood in it which is cool. For food we got the crispy spring rolls and pepperoni flatbread. Both were so good!!!! It was absolutely worth the wait!!! I could eat the whole flatbread myself it was that good and I can't wait to go back and get another one. The crowd is definitely much older, not a lot of younger people around. It's a good date night for married couples. Overall it was a nice place and I would come back.

We went back for the open mic night (every Wednesday 6-9). The music was great and the cocktails…read morewere strong! I had a Manhattan which can only be described as powerful and tasty. My partner had a whiskey sour which was had a delicate lemon taste to it, probably the best whiskey sour I've had! The crowd was chill and friendly but on the smaller side.

We went here for a fundraising event and it was fantastic. The food we had was catered from Uncle…read moreTony's restaurant and we had a free drink ticket. The Sponge Bob's Wet Dream was my favorite cocktail of the night, but they have plenty to choose from. I like that you can come to a distillery and have the option to get cocktails if you don't feel like beer. The mill type setting is creatively decorated and the owners take pride in everything that they do. Being a fundraiser, they were super busy, but had every angle covered to make it a success. This is a great place to come hang out with or without friends.

Maybe it's not officially a "dive bar" anymore--but it's still pretty damn close. And what used to…read morebe a true hidden gem? Yeah... that ship has sailed. This spot has clearly become a local favorite, and for good reason--mighty food, a solid beer selection, and a consistently great vibe.

The staff is always friendly and on point, and after quite a few visits, I can honestly say I've never been disappointed. Cheers

As I was looking for a place to have a nice dinner with a few coworkers, Wharf Southern Kitchen and…read moreWhiskey Bar ABSOLUTELY caught my eye. First of all, let's talk about the space. Nestled in the Wharf, it was a cute little place with both an up and downstairs. We reserved a spot for around 5:30 (in April) and it was pretty open. There weren't too customers yet, and it was nice and quiet. If you're looking for a ton of space for the seating area, I will say that there isn't too much room/it's pretty nice and cozy! At Wharf Southern Kitchen and Whiskey Bar, they've got a line of booths along the wall, a bar area right in the center and at the actual bar, a high top, another bar at one of the entrances, and a table that seats six. Now let's chat about the service. Our waitress was wonderful, patient, and was extremely helpful when asked questions and also gave SUCH wonderful suggestions. There were MANY fantastic choices on their menu and I was having a pretty difficult time narrowing down which one I really wanted, but with our waitress's help, I was able to choose pretty quickly (and they were AMAZING choices!) Now the food! The wait for the food honestly wasn't that long, and when we got it, we ABSOLUTELY CHOWED... -The Crispy Chicken Bites were AMAZING! I ended up upgrading to the Buffalo Style, and it DID NOT disappoint at all! The Bleu Cheese crumbles were just the perfect amount, and the Buffalo sauce was JUST enough to still enjoy the crispiness of the chicken. I DID ask for ranch on the side, and that just was *chef's kiss*! -I've never had fried pickles before, but I certainly have never seen a restaurant do it with whole pickles. Though it was my first time trying fried pickles, it tasted great! I wouldn't say it's anything special, but it's a great, and lighter on the fried side, appetizer! -I was having a hard time choosing what entree to enjoy, but I'M SOOOO glad that I went with the Smoked Brisket Chopped Cheese! I'm not a big brisket girl, but I will say that this was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! At first when it came out on the bun, I was a little skeptical of how it would taste, but it definitely didn't disappoint! The brisket was cooked SO well with the perfect amount of seasoning, and it all just melted so perfectly together as I was eating it. And the tater tots were SO AMAZING (though on the saltier side) and SO perfectly crispy. I've only got great things to say about Wharf Southern Kitchen & Whiskey Bar & I WILL be back here/will suggest it to my friends visiting Newport one day!

No one at the hostess stand, slow to take orders, and over 30 minutes for food even with very few customers. Food: The burger came on a slightly sweet bun with a house mac sauce.

Sometimes we sit outside on the back patio, but it was too sunny there so we sat at a table in the dark bar area - also a first time for us. The high top has comfortable padded seats. K had a glass of sparkling Domaine St Vincent and I a Narragansett beer. She also had an order of deviled eggs. We shared a dozen oysters which were small but tasty at $2 each. I had a good burger (also half priced) and crispy fries done just right. Our server, Sarah L, was very pleasant and attentive. The check came to $67 before the tip. It was an enjoyable meal and as the place was half full conversation was easy. We will return, perhaps again for another early meal if that works out.

Well, a new place that specializes in craft cocktails is right up my alley. We walked across, found the door, and entered. I was really impressed with the interior space. It was cool and dark. Lots of places to sit with a small bar area where everything is made. The cocktail book is large and has a variety of offerings for every palate. The bartenders were very helpful to our friends who are new to craft cocktails. They stick with vodka martinis. I started with a paper plane, which was very well-made. I then tried one of their specials, the Fig Leaf Old Fashioned, which was fabulous. Everyone had a fabulous time, and we will definitely be back to try some of the Absinthe recipes. I hope my fellow Yelpers support a new cocktail place. We need more of them.
