We’re an eclectic blend of Newport vibes — from the historic bank vault behind our marble bar to the Bellevue Ave-inspired details in our lounge. Our cocktails bring you back to the Newport of decades ago. We’re proud to serve quality, locally sourced victuals (it rhymes with ‘skittles’) — all in an immersive dining experience.

Atmosphere, service, and drinks were great. Making your own board isn't worth the high prices of individually choosing cheese and meats. Would go back for the bar and a full meal, but if you're a meat and cheese fan, you will be underwhelmed.

There was a great Jazz Combo playing but we were sat in a different room despite the fact that there were only a few customers and many open table. They were out of many of the beer choices and some of the food items. When ask if we could make substitutions, the restaurant was not accommodating.

The charcuterie board was amazing! Entrees were just OK. Something needs to be done about the lack of heat in the restaurant. Patrons had their coats, scarves and gloves in.. we froze!

The staff was excellent! The Brussel sprout app. was very good..spicy! But our meal was bland and had very little flavor. My short rib ( 1 rib) meal was loaded with grease. The sweet potato puree was too loose and bland. The kale was soaking in the grease, I couldn't eat it.

Bar and Board is in a key location for a Saturday. night in Newport., right on the main drag. We had gone to a movie at the Jane Pickens theater and wanted to walk to dinner. Our reservations was for 7:00. When we entered there were many empty tables so we had the staff's full attention. We had a nice table on the ground floor but two seats were leaning against a cold stone wall - it was a windy night and the wall was a bit drafty. We ordered a bottle of wine and a few appetizers - delicious, oysters were okay, Brussel sprouts very good. Main courses were hearty portions, I could have shared. my bolognese with another person, others did share the pork chop. The wait staff was very attentive, the food arrived in a timely manner and the atmosphere kicked up as groups of people arrived - espresso martinis were their drink of choice!!! We would all go back to B&B another time - good food, great service and an okay wine list. Just what we wanted on a chilly, windy night.

2 distinct deserts were too sweet and when I indicated that they were barely tasted and requested their charges be removed, Gary indicated he’d try, but ultimately was unable to get them off the bill. Otherwise all else was good.
