norey's

tried to go in to buy abeerand was told i would have to take my hat off. i thought the bartender was joking and laughed and she was the most rude. not sure if it's still the same owner as this was years ago. i will never forget this as one of the worst experiences in a bar/wannabe restaurant i have ever had. there were like 2 people dining there. i left immediately. my son was just born at newport hospital and i wanted to go and grab a drink to celebrate. this experience is forever burned in my memory. wouldn't serve me abeerwith a hat on. i've never been happier walking out of a bar. surprised to see they are still open with that policy. delusions of grandeur for sure.

this is the bestbeerbar in southern new england. not only does it showcase world classbeerin 20 taps, 1 cask, & 100 plus bottles, it's also a 5-star neighborhood bistro with a menu which changes daily. if i'm going a drink abeeron tap that is only found in europe, i don't want to eat a burger or nachos. i want a great meal to go along with it. norey's has the best chef on broadway and everything is made in-house including the house smoked chicken wings. the housemade pasta is fantastic. it rivals every italian restaurant in newport. bolognese, goat cheese tortellini with housemade sausage, lobster scampi, chicken pesto, bourbon bacon pappardelle, & more.
 the entire staff able to help you choose abeerbased on your past experience or lead you to experiencing something new. anyone can buybeerin a liquor store or a brewery. drinking qualitybeerin a restaurant is an experience. 
norey's offers free live music wed. americana, blues, bluegrass & thurs. world class jazz. there are also world class tap takeovers- a brewery or a style including ciders, sours, holiday beers from around the world. takeover range from 8 taps to the full 20 taps and stay up until they are gone- usually about 2 weeks.

great craftbeerselection, respectable wine selection and food was outstanding. service was prompt and friendly. found this place on urban spoon and we are thankful. we have two small children and though they don't have a kids menu they were very accommodating.

no. greatbeerselection but terrible service. came on a thursday night for beers and food and left promptly after one round. bartender was the worst. completely inattentive and clueless about the beers. we had to yell over to him to let us pay for the round. we are easy going but this was just bad in every way. -sigh-

norey's is the gold standard for service. bestbeerin newport. great bartenders and servers and my favorite jt who really know the beer, wine, and food. they go the extra mile to make sure you have a perfect meal. chef tyler cullen is running one of the best restaurant in town. check out the desserts made by norey herself- especially the carrot cake and coconut cake.

best craftbeerselection i've ever seen. i'm a craftbeerguy. just love the stuff. and newport has some good craftbeerbars, but the first time i walked into norey's, i was absolutely blown away by thebeerselection.

the beers they have on tap are the best and rarest of what's available.

and the food is pretty damn good too. the thai curry i had had the perfect amount of hotness and spice.

chef should stay in back.. i had dinner at the bar one night. i only had one beer. there was an extrabeeron my check. some other kind i don't even drink. no big deal. i should it to the girl waiting on us. shes cool. but has to talk to the chef. who come out and gets the bottle of beer. show it to me and say " you didn;t drink one of these" i like i am bs him. he was awful to me a local, who will never go back.

everything i've tried there is excellent. greatbeerselection, especially if you like trying hard to find microbrews. great wine selection, if you know what you are doing.
