O'Briens is a lively restaurant in Newport that offers a mix of bar food and interesting dishes. The outdoor seating area is spacious and perfect for families, with a fun water fountain for kids to enjoy. The food is a hit-or-miss for some, with standout dishes like the fried calamari and lobster roll, but some misses with overcooked fish. The friendly staff and attentive service make dining here a pleasant experience, despite the lack of an ocean view. Overall, O'Briens offers a variety of options, from classic pub fare to more unique dishes, making it a good choice for a casual meal in Newport, on average, the rating for O'Brien's Pub is 4.1.
