Nestled along the historic Newport waterfront, Smugglers Waterfront Bar blends coastal charm with refined craft — where every cocktail is mixed with intention and every bite captures the spirit of New England.
Handcrafted drinks using premium spirits and fresh, seasonal ingredients — each pour tells a story.
Dine with the harbor as your backdrop — golden sunsets painting the water right from your table.
Our kitchen sources from Newport's fishermen and nearby farms — the taste of the coast, every plate.
From jazz nights to acoustic sets, our stage brings the best local talent to your evening.
From the moment you step onto our deck, the rhythm of the harbor sets the pace. Whether you're joining us for a quick pre-theater drink or a leisurely three-course evening, Smugglers is where Newport comes alive.
A glimpse into the atmosphere, flavors, and evenings that await you on the waterfront.
Real stories from people who've made Smugglers part of their Newport memories.
We stumbled upon Smugglers on a rainy Tuesday and stayed for three hours. The lobster roll alone is worth the trip to Newport — and the harbor views made it unforgettable.
The Smuggler's Old Fashioned is hands-down the best cocktail I've had on the East Coast. They don't just mix drinks — they compose them. The staff treats you like family.
We hosted our engagement dinner on the deck at golden hour. The team went above and beyond — every detail was perfect, from the toast to the last course. Truly magical.
