The Perfect Neighborhood Joint
By Raquel from River West, September 19, 2007

I've been here in the past and had mostly good experiences but agree with some of the previous comments of slow service, inconsistent food...BUT there are some new people working and my last waitress was great, as well as the food. This is a casual place for some good food, (the salads are great) and laid back people. Fun place to catch the games too...You should definitely give it another chance!!!

This place has the worse bartenders, and the place is so dirty. Food is greasy and awful.

I really like this place....

Overall rating:

I really like this place. The food is good, and it has the feel of an old-time good time bar. Southport is so expensive and snobby now its great to have somewhere nearby where you can relax and be yourself. I've always had great service; I usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are always chatty and fun. I will definately continue to go here.

Rude staff. Slow service. Completely disrespectful. Don't ever go here. Too bad, because it used to be a great place...

We dedicded to give this place another try, big MISTAKE!! The service was slow, we couldn't get the waitress's attention who was too busy chit chatting. The food tasted like it had been warmed over all night. Plus the bathrooms were filthy. Waste of money!!!

Being new to the Southport...

Being new to the Southport area, my girlfriends and I have found Newport to be a great place to hang out before we tear up the town! Great food for your money (HUGE SALAD'S and CHICKEN TENDERS!), good service...it's like Southports version of "Cheers". Friendly atmosphere and easy place to actually talk. Spike the bartender is a nice guy and the bar has some nice looking guys hanging out at the bar!! My friends and I are new to the area and will be at Newports more often!!!
