Newport Blues Cafe is a great place to listen and dance to live music. Dont let the name fool you, there is much more than the blues here. The cover bands play current top 40, dance, hip hop, rock, country, and as the employees say "the bands play a little bit of everything". If youre looking for a place to relax and enjoy a drink with the person you just met or the people who you came with, there are plenty of spots to do just that, relax, enjoy the conversation and do some people watching. The upstairs bar has seating and a large cut out to watch the band and people dancing down below. The bank vault room holds a pool table and extra seating. The staff is friendly and does all they can to make sure you have a great experience. All you need to do is enjoy the music, drinks, bar menu (until 10, but the door men always suggest great places to eat elsewhere if the Blues kitchen is closed). If someone is causing a disturbance the security staff resolves the situation quickly and efficiently. Thats why the Blues is consistently voted "best girls night out" in Newport. Enjoy...

Nice place to go see a concert. Only thing i would like to see fixed, is making sure customers can get out before or at any during the concert. We had a rough time leaving. It was very crowded and people were extremely rude in letting us do so. Other than that, the bartenders and security were great.

Live music which can be hard to find in smaller towns/cities. The blues cafe occasionally has well known bands play which is always a treat. Definitely worth checking out and there is a bar upstairs if you want to just watch, listen, and not be amongst throngs of people dancing or gawking.

Terrible food, unfriendly staff, and corny cover bands that play so loud the bartender has to ask you ten times which overpriced and badly mixed drink youre ordering. If youre middle aged with no kids this is the place for you.

Great live music. Not just blues either. If we could have found a seat away from the upper bar that would have been nice, coat check? But the crowd was great, nice staff, good place to unwind.

The food is really good and if you go during the weeks when you have the two by one deal it really worth it. Fridays night they have nice atmosphere mature people with really good bands.

We stopped in to see the Little Compton Band, and it was amazing. Awesome vibe, environment and, most of all, music. This place met or exceeded all my expectations.

Excellent food and entertainment! Started the evening with an excellent seafood dinner and ended up dancing the rest of the night. I wonder why I go anywhere else.

Great bands, great building. Dance downstairs, take a breath upstairs but keep an eye on the action through the cut out floor.

We love this spot! Its a must when in Newport. Live music and you cant beat the chill atmosphere from the upper bar.

Neat place with a cool upstairs. There is a hole in the 2nd floor so you can watch the band from upstairs.
