Multiple bars and dining levels, each with their own vibe. The food is great too. Don’t miss the original Newport disco, the ‘Boom Boom Room’ in the basement!

Consejos para los viajeros

Desplazamientos

Traffic and Parking Downtown

Don’t do it! It’s not a far walk! Seriously, between April and October the downtown area is limited to resident parking and the public lots are full. Avoid using a car. If walking isn’t your thing, Uber or Lyft is your friend. Cars are fine to reach the mansions, markets, Ocean Drive, etc. but bring walking shoes and enjoy the sites of the neighborhoods.
