What Graham Short likes about O'Brien's Pub:
Pleasant and friendly staff seat you in a spacious outdoor area. The tables are separated from each other with plastic sheeting which was great you didn’t have to listen to your neighbors- or see them. Enjoyed a great pint of Guinness View all feedback. What Jeanie DeVincenzo doesn't like about O'Brien's Pub:
In between a 3 and a 4 star. Place is fun and lively decent for kids since they have the fountain with toy ducks and nets. Reason for just 3 stars was because food was average, fish was way over cooked and chewy but all other meals at table were fine.Also no ocean view, hard to give 5 stars in Newport to a place with no ocean view.

O'Briens is a lively restaurant in Newport that offers a mix of bar food and interesting dishes. The outdoor seating area is spacious and perfect for families, with a fun water fountain for kids to enjoy. The food is a hit-or-miss for some, with standout dishes like the fried calamari and lobster roll, but some misses with overcooked fish. The friendly staff and attentive service make dining here a pleasant experience, despite the lack of an ocean view. Overall, O'Briens offers a variety of options, from classic pub fare to more unique dishes, making it a good choice for a casual meal in Newport.
