Bruskers is located down town near the old section of downtown Newport. As an Irishman I always try to check out the Irish pubs where ever I go. Overall briskers is a pretty good place. Overall they had a good selection of beers, bellhaven Scottish Ale and Guinness on Tap. Old Thumper on the Hand pull and a great selection of Single Malt Scotch. I had a particullary fine 15 year old Dalwhinnie. I did not eat while there but overall I would go back.

Hey Chuck, check the date on the review. Over a year ago. If things have improved since then, great. I have been in twice since my initial review (as promised) and the beer seletion was nearly exactly the same but the food *was* pretty good. Still prefer the atmosphere at Aidan's, but with Ten Penny Ale on tap, it seems things are moving in the right direction at Buskers. Oh, and don't take reviews so personally (unless you work there).

Slainte!

Mike, Obviously you've never been to a pub in Ireland. There isn't a better selection than at Buskers. They have Courage, Guinness, Storm, Sam, Newcastle, Boddinton, at least two new selections each month, TenPenny Ale and a few others. They have an excellent whiskey selection and two of the best bartenders in Newport. The food is well above average for an Irish pub (americanized? - where the hell do you think you are?). Of the 100 people I've talked with about Buskers you are the first to describe it as sterile - do you NEED beer-soaked floors. Is something sterile because it's new? They labored long and hard and the interior reflects that. The owner takes pride in providing a clean atmosphere, very good food, a good beer selection and friendly service with a wry Irish spin is you'd care to engage them. It IS a place to seek out in Newport if you're looking for food, drinks and good company.

Good So So N/A Good So So
Occupying the spot where The Reef once was, Buskers has some potential to be a nice spot on Thames Street. The atmosphere was nice with high-backed wooden booths, capped by stained glass. Whiskey-barrel looking tables and exposed brick give it some character, but it still seems a little sterile for an "Irish" pub. The beer selection leaves much to be desired - Sam (and seasonal), SNPA, Smithwicks, a few British macros, and Newport Storm are about the only one worthy of a mention. Don't bother with the bottle list...yet. I heard a rumor the selection would expand - let's hope so. Didn't eat during this trip but the menu looks Americanized - not that the Irish are known for their fine cuisine. Service was quick and pleasant. Overall, it's not a spot to seek out, but merely a decent stop if you happen to be walking by. It IS new, so I'll be stopping in again over the summer to see if it improves.
