We’re an eclectic blend of Newport vibes — from the historic bank vault behind our marble bar to the Bellevue Ave-inspired details in our lounge. Our cocktails bring you back to the Newport of decades ago. We’re proud to serve quality, locally sourced victuals (it rhymes with ‘skittles’) — all in an immersive dining experience.

    2 distinct deserts were too sweet and when I indicated that they were barely tasted and requested their charges be removed, Gary indicated he’d try, but ultimately was unable to get them off the bill. Otherwise all else was good.

    Amazing experience from the moment we walked in the door! Service was attentive and personable, we shared small plates each was better than the next. Well decorated especially upstairs! Will DEFINITELY return.

    Great experience at Bar and Board! We were visiting Newport for a "girls weekend" and all 3 of us started out with the Hibiscus Martini, and shared several small plates: wedge salad, brussel sprouts, meatballs, ricotta toast and one of the specials (crab cake). Our service was outstanding and everything was delicious and well prepared. We topped off the night with two of the yummy desserts (skillet special and chocolate mousse pie). We will definitely be back! The vibe was great and location right in the heart of the action.

    Unfortunate. This place had better service during the pandemic. It was us, 55 years old and two twenty year old girls. Two tables and unfortunately we lost! We still tipped well, but it’s kind of disheartening watching your server chase tail and ignore you. Food was nice.

    Busy weekend in Newport with the car show in town, difficult to find a last minute dinner reservation for 6 people so we were happy to find Bar & Board had one although a bit on the early side. Charcuterie board idea is great! Mixed drinks were good, but very limited beer list, and drafts we had were flat. Entrees were ok, my husband enjoyed the seafood risotto dish, those of us who had pasta felt the sauce was a bit oily. Tiramisu was not your typical but delicious - our waitress was the pastry chef so she had good recommendations. We'd recommend the place for interesting atmosphere with old bank vault in the bar area, and a early evening for cocktails and a charcuterie board, but probably would go elsewhere for dinner next time.
