Myrtle, which I think is one of the coolest bars I've ever seen (it has its own in-house boutique!) was packed this morning. They served a $15 brunch which looked great but, since I had just eaten breakfast, I chose to forego and enjoyed a delicious Irish coffee ($12) instead. This might be my go-to bar from now on.

This is a more intimate space than you might be used to (if you're seeing artists and bands perform in large venues.) Ample free parking directly outside the entrance. These performances are recorded and live-streamed: Cameras are unobtrusive and present content on several displays (also unobstrusive.) This video content includes closeups on artists (so you can clearly see fingerpicking, etc.) I should have been frequenting this venue, already! I will be back.

It's not surprising that it was a relatively older crowd, with some great dancers who were really fun to watch. Street parking only, which makes it a little difficult when there are piles of snow.

This bar & restaurant has three floors filled with plenty of entertainment until 1AM. We started off our first night in Newport by having an early dinner here on a Friday. We sat ourselves at the bar on the first floor. The bartenders were friendly and attentive - no complaints on service. To start off, I ordered my usual drink... a classic margarita. It was strong and tarty with a good kick. Their menu offers your typical American pub food like burgers, sandwiches, wings, tacos, wraps, etc. They had a BOGO deal for their spicy fried chicken sandwich (~$14), so we couldn't resist saying no to that lol. The meal included a spicy fried chicken, lettuce, pickles, and spicy aioli sauce on a brioche bun with a side of fries. The portion size was generous and just enough to fill my belly, but not enough to put me into a food coma. The chicken was tender and juicy and I loved how fluffy and buttery the brioche bun was. There was a little too much batter on the chicken than I would have liked, but it was still a delicious sandwich nonetheless. The fries were super crispy and crunchy, 10/10. I'm curious to know what their other sandwiches taste like! Around 8pm, it turns into more of a bar/club atmosphere. It gets progressively packed and loud. There are bouncers at the door to check for IDs and to handle cover fees (if needed). There's live music every weekend from 8-11pm, as well as a DJ from 11pm - closing. The top floor of the restaurant hosts their famous Dueling Piano show where two entertainers perform and engage in playful competition. You request songs for them to play on a grand piano, so it's a fun and interactive experience. Reservations are required in advance. Check their website for the full schedule of their live music performances and show times. Since we got there early, we were able to keep our seats at the bar to watch the live music performance. The crowd was pretty diverse and a mix of all ages. Everyone was having a great time!

The bartender that served me was amazing and the owner really loves his place. I love the fact that they have bands and comedians come in, offer karaoke and open mic nights, have a free hot dog special on Thursdays and so much more. The drinks are very reasonable for their quality and location. In a world where so many places have cocktails for $15-20, this place is far less. They are thought out and well made too! This spot has a lot of regulars which is always a good sign. I chatted with so many people while there which I love. A bar with good drinks, a a friendly atmosphere, a love of live music, and more is a place I'll def come back to. Check it out---whether for the drinks, the music or both!
