A breath of fresh air on Broadway! Let me start off with the food here...delicious! I've tried the Gobi Manchurian (fried cauliflower with a General Tso's vibe = amazing), the fries, vegetarian tofu tacos and the chicken breast entree. Everything was wonderful! My friend got the burger and said it was one of the best she's ever tasted. The decor is gorgeous! Whites, grays, glass- beautiful! The restaurant is also spacious so you're not sitting on top of the diners next to you (especially if you get one of their awesome booths). I've been 3 times so far and the service has been impeccable. This would be a great place for a large group too! Love it! read more

Who needs the trendy, touristy places on Thames St. When you have this gem? If you haven't tried it you need to. Seriously!!! I could have sworn that I was eating General Tso's chicken but it was cauliflower. Amazing start to the meal. Then came the Gouda burger and Marsala fries. Can you say food-gasm? The menu is small but that is understandable (and appreciated) since it's all made from scratch. Plenty of beers, both on tap and in the bottle, to choose from. read more

Solid choice pre-movie. Had the Gobi (fried cauliflower that tastes more like Kung Pao chicken than fried cauliflower-kind of tremendous actually. Also had the Harissa Shrimp and grits small plate and the Garam Masala French fries which had a dipping sauce with it that was fantastic. Glass of gin got me and cucumber martini for my wife. Very impressive especially if Indian Fusion is your thing. read more

Parlor Bar & Kitchen - That's the sign right there. - Bars Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

I usually don't review a place until I've been there three times... Well, three was a charm for sure! Beautifully designed, welcoming and warm is what you get when you enter. Happy greetings meet you along with lively guests propped up in comfy, loft booths, overlooking gorgeous bar. Service is friendly, unobstrusive and accommodating. We usually have the pleasure of having Hope wait on us. She is a delight! The Gobi Manchurian is habit-forming, as is the Quinoa app. Wine list is perfect, beer offerings are vast and the whole staff is completely approachable and customer-driven. We are ecstatic for this new hood spot. read more

Great soundtrack, delicious food, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. Will definitely be back!!

We stopped here just for a drink and some apps. Based on Yelp reviews, we ordered the Tofu Tacos and the Cauliflower. We are from PA and I swear that I would almost road trip just for those tacos. Wow! Fantastic!! The Cauliflower was almost as great. Really nice apps for a great price and the portion is so big, we never went to dinner! Good beer prices, the menu lists 3 different 22oz bottles. They are actually 750ml bottles so it's an even bigger value. Great decor, we'll be back next year! read more

Beautiful room and great food, but with a boatful of able bodied female sailors in for the boat show, maybe the manager/host referring to the servers as "the girls" isn't the best idea. We can also have "one of the girls" come right over to help you to. read more

Best place to hang out in Newport... hands down. Not too crazy, not too quiet - just the right amount of both and super chill. An awesome beer selection (highly recommend the Pumpking with butterscotch rim), a great menu, and the best (and coolest!) staff around. read more

The most aesthetically pleasing bar/restaurant in Newport. We've been coming here for 5 years. Whether we are brunching with friends, celebrating our anniversary or having our wedding reception, Parlor never disappoints. The food, drinks, atmosphere, and staff are amazing!! Highly recommend for any and every occasion. read more

Stopped here for a drink recently and the hostess was very rude. The drink I got was literally cranberry on the rocks and had no vodka in it, and it was expensive for a tiny glass. Would Not return read more

Here on a Wednesday night Open Mic and it is awesome! The venue is cosy yet big and lots of places to hang and eat. Two bars and a really cool stage lounge area! read more

Parlor Bar & Kitchen - Bars Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

I love the upgrades to this place from the first time I came here in 2017. I came on tecno night. Not my music but the regulars made it fun to watch and be there. Plenty of tables to sit down, full bar, pool tables, free WiFi. All around nice place. They do serve food but I didn't get a chance to eat kitchen was closed. I got there at 9 pm stayed until they turned lights on at 1 am or 2 am. read more

Food was ok. Wish they had a cocktail menu tho. The truffle fries just tasted like regular fries. The lobster saffron risotto didn't taste anything like saffron but came with A LOT of lobster. The zucchini thai peanut noodles were good but really spicy. It was SUPER hot inside, about 20 degrees hotter than outside, which made it uncomfortable read more

We stopped in here not too long ago later on a Saturday. I was here before when it was Café 200. The bar and fireplace area are nice, though crowded on the weekend. The back room looks like someone went to a bad garage sale or raided their grandmothers basement for furniture. Bizarre. The mirrors on the wall do look nice against the brick but that is where it ends. No effort at all to make the seating nice. You can at least put tablecloths on the tables to make them look nicer, and get rid of those chairs. Service was also subpar. We had clearly just walked in and were sitting down, still wearing our coats. A waitress stopped by after about 10 minutes and asked if we were all set, then walked away. Ummm....ok. We had no drinks on the table and just got there. Weird. That is not how you greet new people as a server. Imagine very loud 80's music and only the older people dancing and this just wasn't what we were looking for. The second star is only for the bar area, but we will definitely not be back. read more

This is an odd place for sure. The menu goes in a few different directions. I got the lumpia and it was good/ok. My Husband got the steak sandwich and it was way too greasy for him. The bottom piece of bread had soaked it up and had an unappetizing sheen. The service was crazy. There was hardly anyone there. A couple of people at the bar and one other couple at another table. First we started off with waitress "A", and she got us water and we couldn't figure out what we wanted to order. It took us a little longer than normal. I guess nothing on the menu was really speaking to us. But my husband and I ate always super nice to all servers. Always saying thank you after every delivery and taking away of plates and we always tip 20% base. So waitress "B" came and asked a third time and I thought it was weird that we had been dumped to a different waitress especially since there wasn't anyone else dining (the couple left). We had decided at this point. Waitress "B" took our order, took our alcoholic drink order, delivered the drinks and our dinner. Ok, whatever. But then... Waitress "A" comes and clears our dishes and presents our check with her name on the check to receive the tip. Waitress "B" comes back and said "Oh, ( whatever her name was) got you the check." She took it and cashed us out. I have never worked in a restaurant setting, and I don't know who received our electronic tip, but omg. I'll never go back there. I did like the decor in the bar area though. It was beautiful there. And I liked waitress "B", she was very nice. read more

Pleasantly surprising. At first glance it's a music lounge so I didn't have high expectations for dinner. Was I ever wrong. I rolled the dice on the tofu tacos. A winner. My wife ordered a seafood dish which was also a delight. Good wine, good food. No downtown traffic. Will certainly revisit. read more

We were there on the 4th of July around 9 pm for dinner. The Ravers were busy setting up to play later and the place was filling up steadily. Maybe it was the impending party atmosphere but we didn't really get very attentive service. We received our appetizer promptly but I waited at least 15 mins for my drink and our meals were MIA for at least 45 mins too. As for the food; the cauliflower app was delicious, and my burger was perfect with a side salad of only greens but very good dressing. My husbands pasta was stone cold though. Our server was not very experienced and cursory observation indicated a general lack of proper training of the staff. I wish the experience was better because the food could be fantastic. read more

This is the best "find" in Newport. A totally cool place. Great staff, excellent food and a hip ambiance. Started with General Tso's cauliflower, cheese platter and spring rolls. Excellent for sharing and extremely tasty. Moved on to the filet. My companions went for the burger, the roast beet salad and steak sandwich. Everbody was happy and just full enough. Not too much, just right. I am putting The Parlor on my list of places to hit regularly. read more

I've been to Parlor several times and have never been disappointed. I'm obsessed with the gobi, however all of their vegeterian options are fantastic! This is one of the few places that a vegeterian can sit down and enjoy their meal just as much as their meat eating compadre! The drinks are always just perfect, and the staff is sweet, efficient and awesome! Try it out, it will become a new favorite! read more

Wow. This place is just a little out of the way but it is well worth it! Went on a Saturday night for a late dinner and drinks. Our bartender / server was great. Friendly and prompt service with some real personality and humor too. Every bit of the food was outstanding. It's a small menu, but each of the three dishes we tried was a winner. Spring rolls, beet salad and mushroom and prosciutto pizza. All great. The pizza is definitely big enough to share - actually big enough to share and take some home! Prices are reasonable and the food and service is a cut above what you might expect from a place that might seem more bar that restaurant at first glance. read more

This is a destination bar/restaurant because it's a little further up Broadway, if this place was on Thames it would be rocking non-stop. I make a point out of either ending or beginning my night here and the service has always been exceptional. The food has been consistently good and something I look forward to experiencing! Carla and Hannah rock! read more

This place is really nice! The food is great and I love their specials. It's a nice casual place with a fancy touch. The bar tenders are also friendly and nice to talk with. I would definitely recommend to my friends. read more

Super friendly staff! Great food and awesome entertainment. Really enjoyed all the time I spent there and look forward to going back!

Visited Parlor last weekend and had the best time! I was impressed by the elegant decor when I first walked in. I enjoyed my gin spritzer on the most comfortable tufted chair and had some laughs with the super friendly and cheerful staff. I had heard that the food was good but it was even better than I expected. Gobi Manchurian is a cauliflower dish that came highly recommended by our server Hannah and it was delicious. The hangar steak, however, was my favorite; it was excellent! We had more drinks and laughs after dinner while listening to a really cool local band. Will definitely visit Parlor on my next trip to Newport. Went back to Parlor on a Sunday night to watch football and I was happy to see there now is a bar menu; great selections and reasonably priced. Ordered the steak sandwich which was excellent. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich which was delicious as well. read more

The Blackened NY Sirloin with "gruyere fondu" was phenomenal - please order it so they keep it on the menu! It was cooked perfectly to temperature and the blackening was perfect too. The gruyere sauce (not a dipping fondu) was so good I could have eaten it as soup, in fact I asked for more, and did dip a couple bites. Our bartender Toni was friendly, engaging - but not too much, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Her suggestions on both food and wine were helpful and genuinely insightful. Can't wait to go again! read more

We cozied up to the fireplace and made ourselves at home with glasses of red wine on a rainy & windy Halloween night. Great spot to take the chill off and relax. We'll be back! read more

The servers were very pleasant, as was the food. The cauliflower was some of the best I've had. They were in transition between cocktail menus, and that was the only thing missing from this establishment. read more

Newport locals you are missing out on some great food. We had the corn soup that had so much flavor that I wanted to take a gallon home if I could have. Menu is limted but everything is GREAT. Staff is friendly, prices reasonable. This a must go to place, a hidden gem. They even have live music & dj's on the weekend..... Rick&Val read more

What I don't understand is why this place isn't busier. We had dinner there last night and it was fantastic. Bartender was very friendly. Overall a great experience. read more

Fantastic food and drink! I arrived there when they had just opened (5pm) and Kristen (the owner) greeted me and was extremely friendly. I had a few beers and the steak sandwich. It was an awesome selection. Everything is made fresh in the kitchen. Yes, the menu is somewhat small, but that's the price you pay for fresh food. I will definitely be back with my friends!! Try this place - you won't be disappointed!! read more

I've been here a few times, and I'll be back again. The two bartenders I've had are very friendly and chatty. The beer selection is wide-ranging, with a good amount on tap. The cheese pizza was just okay. I asked for blue cheese, which they weren't sure they had, but the bartender made it her mission to find some in the kitchen. God only knows how old it was when she came out with a cup of it, but blue cheese is blue cheese, am I right?? The live music is good on Thursday nights, and the pool tables aren't too busy, which is a good thing, because I don't like to share my pool table with strangers. Local crowd and always pretty quiet. read more

My first visit last night had chicken tacos and were very tasty and healthy ingredients. Paired with deep Eddy grapefruit and vodka!

This rating is purely based on my experience with the hostess. I DID NOT eat here. I've never been so turned off by a restaurant based on my interaction with a hostess. She was just oozing with pretension. Even though there was a table available for us, we had such a bad taste in our mouth that we decided to just go to the Mooring instead, where we received excellent service. read more

Hands down, best place for a meal if you're in RI. I was very impressed with the food, drinks and service when I came here. The place is huge yet they are still pretty attentive. Staff is on point. They seem like hard workers and are very helpful and never forget anything we may need or ask for. The drinks are always strong and ice cold. Never a disappointment. My gf even loves the drinks here. The food is where the money is at. I am a regular meat and potatoes so my favorite is the smoked Gouda Burger. It is a nice atmosphere and once in a while they even get a live band to spruce things up. All in all, always I had a pleasurable experience. read more

Decided to try for dinner on a cold wintry night. There was no menu online but we decided to give it a try. The bar area is beautiful complete with nice lighting and chandeliers and a roaring fire with couches towards the back. The bartender was super friendly and made a very good Gimlet. Then the menu came. I totally understand and respect places having a small menu but this is VERY small. Also, 2 of the items were unavailable limiting it even more. Unfortunately for me I didn't see anything I would have wanted to eat for dinner, neither did my boyfriend. We ordered an app. of pulled pork tacos (2) which was OUTSTANDING! I don't care for pulled pork BBQ etc, but this was amazing! So Good! I wish there was something I wanted to eat for dinner because I could tell there was serious talent and freshness in the kitchen. As soon as the bartender knew we werent staying for a complete dinner, service got a bit snappy (I'm sure this happens often with such a small dinner menu) but I can't fault her. All in All, if they added a few more options or at least a few specials for dinner we'd be returning for sure. Great for an APP. and a well made drink or craft beer. read more

Delicious meal, friendly waitress, quick service. A hidden spot at the beginning of Broadway. Try the cauliflower app and the delicious pesto pizza. Comfy booths with plenty of room for a family or group of friends. Not to be missed! read more

1/2 off on small plates.. BULLSHIT!! with an order of a large plate.. Which was specified to me after I received my bill.. What a way to run a business read more

Had the Gobi, the chicken wings (teriyaki), Pork spring roll and the Angus burger. This is the best food I have had in Newport for quite a while. Atmosphere and wait staff were excellent. This will become one of my favorite spots. read more

Favorite place to do almost anything - grab a drink (they make the best espresso martini), but have a limited, but always good beer selection, food is very creative, healthy, and deliscious, atmosphere is really good - def a place for the locals to hang, music on the weekends is always good, and the service is great. read more

My husband and I ate here this week for the first time. Some local friends recommended we try it for the very tasty food. We were very pleasantly surprised! The menu is inspired using lots of spices and flavors and fresh ingredients. We had the Arugula Pizza which had a pesto sauce and a balsamic drizzle. The crust was thin and crisp and overall we loved the Pizza. We also had a Shrimp Po Boy sandwich. The shrimp were fresh and breaded lightly and served on a fresh roll with pickles , lettuce,and tomato. Very enjoyable!. Service by the female bartender was excellent. There were even 4 specials in addition to the Menu.We are telling are foodie friends to get to The Parlor to eat! read more
