I wasn’t really impressed with the drinks up here, but everything else about this place makes it worth a visit. There was a wait when we initially checked in, but we found that tables moved fast and we were able to enjoy the town for around 20 minutes until we were texted about availability. On that note, the host staff were amazing and very helpful, offering directions around the hotel and how to get around, as well as clear explanations on wait times. They were so amazing! The view is literally perfect. We were lucky enough to grab a spot right around sunset. As I mentioned before, I wasn’t obsessed with any of the drinks I tried, but they’re good enough to enjoy with that kind of view. Definitely a spot to check out while in Newport.

I can’t speak to the food because we just had sunset drinks. But in terms of drinks if you make a reservation you will get a table…. But the tables don’t have the best views. The self seating bar does. We walked in on a Thursday evening around 7 pm and found a seat at the bar. The service is a bit slow and not at all up to the standards of the hotel on the first floor. However i would go back to enjoy the great views . There is only one bathroom upstairs that is right next to where the elevator is that leads to a bit of a crowded feeling that characterizes the whole place. The atmosphere loses one star for looking out on a parking lot before you elevate your eyes to the sunset

This place has a spectacular view and you pay the price for it. They have a variety of cocktails which are good. We enjoyed the sunset with two cocktails and a pretzel and then we went to the bar downstairs which is very characteristic and has an exclusive atmosphere. It can get very loud when full. The service is very good and the personnel is very kind and welcoming..

This is a tremendous view of the sunset! But bring low expectations of everything else. The service was painfully slow and inattentive, despite a large staff given the size of the venue. The food is OK, but came before the drinks, which was disappointing. Beautiful views, but missed the mark on service, big time. Menu is sparse, but what we ordered was OK.

This places is magic. Great cocktails with an excellent service. The food is amazing and the cocktails are out of this world!!! We couldn’t enjoy the rooftop but the bar in the first floor is very gorgeous.

We had an amazing time last night with old friends and a few superb drinks on the Roof Deck at the Vanderbilt! Great views! Great atmosphere! Great service! The whole building is going through renovations, but don’t let that stop you from going! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Hours online show until 10pm… had dinner at the Vanderbilt; before dinner at 7:30 was told it was too crowded on the rooftop and they couldn’t accommodate anyone else- then told shortly after 9 that last call was 9:10 and we couldn’t go- after very slow dinner service. Very annoying. Limited menu. Not sure I’d recommend/return.

This is a classic rooftop bar with excellent views of Newport and the Pell bridge. It’s a bit touristy and as such the drinks are $$$ but you’re really paying for the views! Stop by as a bucket list item!

Amazing! Expensive! Worth it!
Great views of the sunset over the inner harbor. Imaginative and delicious cocktails. Fresh local oysters and a great overall menu. For cocktails and six oysters will set you back $100. But you might remember the sunset for a very long time.
