Star Bar

Like other reviews say, this isn't a typical dive bar, but I guess can be considered one? One of the few places in Newport that do not have a cover charge in the summer (at least I've never run into one there). Definitely have cheaper prices than other bars in Newport, too.

Very laid back atmosphere where people aren't trying to impress one another. Really attentive bartenders too, which is a good thing sometimes in Newport. I'd say with the crowd here, I've always experienced a good cross-section of people. It's also more of a "first drink" before you go to another bar, or where you will go for Last Call.

Star Bar is a cash bar only!

Very relaxed atmosphere with comfortable couch seating. Definitely a casual place to get a drink on a Saturday night with some friends.

Defiantly not the typical dive bar or even any other kind of bar with a cool atmosphere strange chairs and overall a good feel.

I have to say seeing the place for the first time threw me off until i stayed around for a couple beers with what looked like college students with past graduates ages ranged very wide.  

Overall very friendly and would recommend as either a meeting spot or a starting spot, just wouldn't make it an all night event.
