White Horse Tavern

Warm & cozy , crackling fireplace - the perfect place to be in Newport in wintertime! Great service, delicious food - and the bar pours generously.

If you want to have the perfect meal that I would have over and over again, order the crispy Brussels sprouts , the crispy duck and spinach salad , bread pudding and a nice bottle of Sauvignon blanc .

Top menu choices: Steak Frittes, Salmon & gnocchi , the burger (hands down the best burger I've ever had) & the lobster mac & cheese . Also cran-apple crisp and berries & dark choc are awesome desserts .

Perfect evening sitting at Jackie O's! Table. Service was as incredible as the food: oysters , duck scotch egg followed by the best beef Wellington w/foie gras mousse inside + perfectly seared scallops

Special place. Oldest tavern in the country . Warm and cozy interiors . Order locally sourced products on the menu. Oysters , scallops , Brussels sprouts were standouts.

Sit by the fireplace in the winter. I love that this is the oldest tavern in the US. Fish was delicious, along with lobster bisque . Clam chowder isn't creamy like you would expect, more brothy.

Very cozy with a large old fireplace . Romantic candlelit tables and very quiet . Beef Wellington was amazing. The Lobster Mac'n Cheese was good but I didn't care for the crunchy garnish on top.

Beautiful building, delicious food, one of the oldest pubs in the US. It’s a perfect place for a special occasion .

Fantastic tavern with very knowledgable and helpful staff . Food and drink was great. Must check it out for history and food people.

Sautéed calamari is a bomb! Very cute patio that is pet friendly . Chicken fried sandwich pretty solid.

Must see if you're into historical bars & taverns!! They have their own IPA ! Go for it!

Known as the oldest tavern in the US, everything looks authentic and the food is great! Enjoy the fireplace in a cold night.

Every item we had was terrific, but I found their clam chowder , NE Cheese sampler and butterscotch bread pudding all especially great! Service was top notch as well .

Clear broth chowder is salty, but delicious. Lobster BLT makes a great lunch .

Love the cozy colonial feel here, especially on winter afternoons and nights. It takes me back. Better lunch menu and prices than dinner .

Have a house old fashion or a proper Guinness and you will be pleasantly surprised with the company of the bartender . The friendliest guy ever.

Lobster mac n cheese & lobster salad blt were awesome with the White Horse Tavern 1673 IPA .

The atmosphere and food are both wonderful here! Love the colonial feel and the impressive history! This is a must-visit for Newport!

Try the house chowder ; it's awesome. Great craft beers on tap as well !The atmosphere was really authentic .

Really cool spot. Historic. Scotch egg was amazing.

Historical building with interesting high end menu but the servers are very bizarrely rude. Get a reservation or don't even bother.

Try the cranberry pecan French toast at brunch ... aMAziNG!

Oldest tavern in the U.S. they have their own craft beer

Great burgers and lobster rolls

The lobster risotto is good but the portion is HUGE.
