many are way expensive. For reasonable prices and good foods , i always liked Salas , it just about 30 feet from the guy diving into the wave (he may have socks on today cause its cold
). I also used to like Moorings but its not what it used to be. Wharf Deli on Bannisters wharf is where the locals go if they are in that neck of the woods. Good food and reasonable prices and beer in pints , including harp , bass and guiness. Brick Alley Pub is also very good. I also remember that Kevin stacoms place , Mudville Pub is good.
In Newport , there is no end to the number of good places , the problem is some will empty your wallet.
