The Fastnet Pub

The Fastnet Pub is a solid low key spot if you are looking for a relaxed place to eat and drink without any fuss. The space is a decent size so it never feels too cramped and street parking is usually manageable if you are patient. The drink selection is a strong point especially if you like IPAs. The bar has a good variety and it is easy to find something you enjoy. Prices are reasonable which makes it an easy place to settle in for more than one round. Food wise the chicken sandwich was the clear winner and easily the best thing on the table. It was filling flavorful and felt like the safest and smartest choice on the menu. Everything else was fine but that sandwich is what I would order again without hesitation. The staff were friendly and welcoming which always makes a difference. O

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.

Lively watering hole in the summer. This is an old New England joint so don’t expect anything fancy, from the food to the service. The owners and servers are friendly though usually hard to flag down. Great beer battered onion rings. Unsure if there is actual table or drink service outside in back as I’ve been told to go back there a number of times and never once saw anyone but locals playing games and smoking cigarettes. Cozy in winter. A place to get drunk, and not too cheaply. Irish bangers and mash were ok, but the mashed potatoes were of questionable origin/ preparation. A cool landmark to visit it Newport, but nothing to cry over if you miss it. Irish music Sunday evenings.

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.

In town for a wedding and stopped for a beer around lunch time. Bartender was dismissive and seemed to be more interested in talking with his girlfriend than attending to customers. Would recommend brick alley, pour judgment or tavern on Broadway over this place. $11 for 1 beer and not even bare minimum customer service is insane
