Awesome atmosphere, delicious food, good bourbon and great people. You have to do the FREE tour and tasting. Chris was our guide, besides the bourbon you learn a little of the history of the place and Newport. If your looking for a new place to try we highly recommend Pensive named after the 1944 Derby winner.

Was walking by and some diners invited us in. Was the best decision of the night. Very nice seat by the open garage door. Ordered the sliders and onion rings and was also served a spicy orange juice cocktail. Service was prompt and the atmosphere was great. Played some country music on radio that night. Bathrooms were ok. Sliders and onion rings tasted great and were worth the extra.

Arrived at a slower time, staff was knowledgeable attentive and friendly. House liquor was delightfully really tasteful. 100% recommended coming from Canada. Food was excellent and great quality diamond in the rough.

My wife and I LOVE this place. Always a great meal and great drinks. They do everything right! Best Onion Rings on the planet. American Pharaoh burger is great!

The apple cinnamon delight was an amazing cocktail. The service was very friendly and our order came out correctly. However we got the street sense and the animal kingdom burger. The street sense had good reviews but ours was extremely salty.. almost to the point of you couldn’t even taste the chicken. The burgers are only cooked one way and there is no adjustment ( well done ) the burger was not terrible for it being well done but for those who don’t like anything else besides MR-MW then I would not recommend. Clean establishment overall and friendly.. our meal was just a let down from the reviews we had read online.
