The Slip Lounge and Bar

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We hosted a luncheon for 25 at The Slip Lounge for my 14-year-old’s confirmation, and it was the perfect choice! One of the few spots in Newburyport that could accommodate us for a Saturday lunch in March, the private dining room felt both classy and cozy—upscale without being stuffy. The menu was ideal for a mix of teens and adults, with delicious options like a beautifully curated charcuterie board, an amazing shrimp and oyster platter, pork belly mac & cheese, smash burger sliders, chicken & waffles. The drink selection was also great for the adults. We also had a gluten-free guest, who had a nice menu selection to choose from. The service was impeccable—we even arrived early, and Chere reassured us with a smile, saying, “Don’t worry, we got this.” She was incredibly helpful in c

Amazing restaurant with a few different atmospheres depending on what you are looking for…nice bar with live music, beautiful and modern lounge and restaurant section and a fun pool table section as well. I can’t wait. To come back and sit on the waterfront deck when the weather gets nicer! Food was so delicious, the white chowder was filled with clams and had the perfect consistency broth and the fried pork chop Milanese special was one of the best I have ever had, even compared to the schnitzel in Germany! Mediterranean Plate was fresh and delicious as well. Highly recommend, service was friendly and the drinks were a delight too! See you all again soon.

We chose this slip not just for a family event but for several regular visits, and we’ve never been disappointed. The food is excellent, the prices are more than fair, and the drinks are consistently made to perfection—even the espresso martinis are flawless every time. It’s rare to find a place where you can order an espresso martini repeatedly and have it come out perfect and consistent each time. That alone feels like a success. Olivia and Elyssa, the bartenders, are a well-oiled machine! There’s no reason to go over the bridge anymore!

Visited on a Friday night. Views of Newburyport from the deck were great and the atmosphere inside was curated perfectly to enjoy a round of drinks and food with friends. We had the whipped ricotta and sushi - both delicious! The sushi display made for a fun, elevated experience. Will definitely be returning!!!

Our first visit will not be our last. Innovative cocktails that complimented an interesting menu. Margaritas, wine and cocktails started our late lunch. We each chose a different entree and all were excellently prepared. Filet, salmon, halibut and chicken rounded out our selection, each with interesting side options. We finished our meal with an apple strudel and cookie skillet! We highly recommended a visit.
