Black Pearl

Newport


Tucked away among the docks of Bannister's Wharf you'll find this uber-popular bar. Its sprawling outdoor patio is perfect for watching all the action on the harbor or soaking up the sun with a beer in hand. If you get peckish, there are casual and more upscale dining options to boot.
