The Fastnet Pub

Went looking for some great fish and chips and the Fastnet Pub delivered. It's delicious great job to the chef.
It was my first visit to this location, but I will be back. I noticed plenty of dartboard and a pool table as I wandered around. It was a little early for much of a crowd, but the patrons seemed to be having a good time. Theres also lots of beers on tap.

My experience at the Fastnet Pub was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a cool, laid-back vibe that instantly made us feel at home. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly.

What really sets this place apart, though, is its rich history. The pub is housed in a building that was constructed in 1730 and was once the home of Dr. William Arnold, who happens to be the great-great-grandfather of Benedict Arnold. This historical connection adds a unique layer to the experience, making you feel like you're drinking in the past.

We stopped in for a quick local brew before dinner, and the beer selection did not disappoint. They offer a variety of local options that are sure to please any palate. The quality of the brews is top-notch, and they perfectly complement the pub's historic ambiance.

In summary, the Fastnet Pub is a must-visit if you're in Newport. Whether you're a history buff, a beer enthusiast, or just someone looking to enjoy a great atmosphere, this place has something for everyone. I can't wait to return and create more memories in this historical gem!

It's one of the top bars in Newport. Super friendly service from the staff. And also always friendly and welcoming are the patrons. I watched soccer games there in the past. This Saturday, I was looking for a place to watch the F1 Qualifying. When I got there the place was packed and golf was on TV. I asked the bartender if it could be switched, and he would check for me. And all the golf fans were happy to watch the Qualifying with me. And not to forget the food, I had honey mustard wings and they were really good. 😋 in the past, I had the Ceasars salad and the burger before. The menu is on line.

Wow, I wish there was a place like this near home! Great pub, fun crowd, really good lineup of bands & terrific bartenders.
I had fish n chips (malt vinegar for the chips put right on the table without me even having to ask) fish was perfectly cooked (crispy light breading and tender flaky fish) had a couple of Kilkenney drafts (amazing Irish beer, not as dark as a Guiness but richer than beer) hubby had a perfect Fastnet burger (1/2lb burger with cheddar cheese & bacon served with perfect fries)
Windows were open, the breeze was blowing, the music was playing and the crowd was happy!

Cozy Clean Pub makes you want a Guinness.
Bartender/server was just right-efficient and only chatty if you wanted to. Pub fare of chicken fingers and fries was yummy and not too greasy.

Stopped in for breakfast and returned for some great music that evening. Best atmosphere in Newport. Large seating area in the bar, and an even larger outside seating area. I recommend stopping by for food and Irish drinks.

What a nice place! Staff is very professional and friendly. Food taste great (fish and chips, clam chowder) . Our first time in Newport and we definitely will be back

Only had a few beers here, but the bartenders were great and attentive. It's a fun place where the patrons enjoy their football (aka soccer to us Americans).

We hit this place prior to the parade. Always a great time here. Outdoor ing pong, pool tables and darts. So fun!

Great little place with outstanding views of the busy street life and a nice outdoor seating area as well. Best wings in Newport for sure, and excellent calamari as well. Waitress was super efficient and friendly. Highly recommend

There's always a Irish pub somewhere around the corner somewhere in the world, this one however is pretty rad. They have tons of live sports on the telly, even Rugby!
They have a great outside area. The food is good and the curry fries is a winner too! Great place! 5 stars!

Proper pub that serviced our after party wonderfully. Darts, pong, and drinks were great

A darkly lit locals bar. It's a dive bar, a family place, yes I saw families eating there, and your neighborhood bar. Awesome atmosphere, good food and fun to people watch.

Came by for a late drink on a Tuesday night (around 10pm). They had a live DJ and lively crowd ready to dance. Great time meeting locals and visitors.

Great food, great atmosphere service was excellent. Nice old Irish Pub feel. Will definitely be back

Been going here for more than 10 years and it's always been a great time! Stop by Wednesday nights for trivia!

Huge bowl of Chowder, average bar food, unique Irish atmosphere.

Great Irish pub to follow the fifa World Cup

Since late 2004 I watched the Red Socks win there first World Series in 86 years this has been my local. Great atmosphere great bar staff come down and have a great time

Great spot in a great location with a very solid beer selection, and often has live music. It's also ideal for catching a rugby game, or similar sport you won't find at other bars. We always find our way in when we're in town.
