The food here was phenomenal. It was so good I went twice. I never knew an irish pub could have so many different types of foodstuffs, including curry dishes. I was told that curry did exist in some Irish pubs that were authentic. Because of history with the british.I’m sorry if i’m getting that wrong.I’m not so good at history. Their dishes were extremely creative. I actually got a burger, which is probably the most plain. But it was really good and juicy, and instead of getting fries, I got a side of cole slaw and the second time I went, I got a mash of carrots and parsnips, which was really good. And then also a side of mashed potatoes. Because I just felt like having something warm and soft. The flavoring of the carrot and parsnip was practically perfect.
My husband got the curry chicken with rice and loved it.And the previous time I went, my mother also got it.And loved it. My father got two other dishes.I don’t remember what they were.But loved both of them. They also had an extensive amount of liquor at the bar, and I’m gonna put in pictures. It was insane and you can get all sorts of drinks.I don’t drink a lot.So I just got soda but everybody else at the table drinks hard liquor and they seem to enjoy it very much. We were there in the winter. So many of the restaurants were closed, but this place was not, so it was convenient. It was warm and it was delicious. It also had a partial feel of a sports bar. But that was only in part of the restaurant, and there was maybe two t v screens with some sports, and at the bar.You could eat, and then there were booths that were very big.And also tables with wooden chairs. I did not take pictures of the menu.I’m sorry about that.I was very hungry and didn’t get a chance to… but I highly recommend this restaurant. I live in New York City and have never been in a pub like this.!

My friends and I were in town to visit the Mansions for the holiday. I called ahead. The phone rang quite a few times but had no problem getting a reservation for 7 people. We were greeted and seated at a long table again a wall to the right of the door. Surrounding us were two booths and two high tops. Everyone was so friendly when you walk in. Patrons were all polite. Most seemed mid-thirties. We were whisked to our table when we walked in. Plenty of room at the table meaning we did have to squeeze in. I sat in a very comfortable wooden chair. The air outside was cold and snow blustery, but the restaurant was warm and had a cozy fill. The booths and tables were filled even at the mid-afternoon hour we walked. Our server immediately got us glasses of water. So much ice…so much! We next order alcholic drinks. My friend ordered from the cask. The server came back and said no go. He ordered a cream ale instead. Said it was ok. I had a snakebite. That is a Harp’s mixed with a cider. The fusion beer concept is genius. The snakebite was grand.
Our water glasses stayed full the whole time.
When delivering our drinks, the server took our orders for our appetizers.
We ordered boxty, scotch eggs, mozzarella sticks, and sausage rolls. Our server brought 7 small plates. We started dividing up 2 large sausage rolls among 5 people as 2 people opted out. Their lose and I was pleased to have more for myself. The sausage was nice and not spicy. The puff pastry wrapped around it was light and flaky. The sausage roll was served over spinach. On the table was Chef Ketchup. Also malt vinegar. Next I had the scotch eggs. The scotch eggs brought back memories as they were similar to thy ones my grandmother would make right around this time of year. The two good sized scotch eggs came with a nice relish. Scotch eggs are hard boiled eggs encased in the sausage . They were close and delicious. I did not have any mozzarella sticks. When not in Roman do not as they do? However, I did really enjoy the boxty with sour cream. The potatoes pancakes were a little thick. Really well fried. I dipped my boxty into the sour cream with scallions. The boxty was top notch.
My main entree was a proper chicken curry served over mashed potatoes. Absolutely tasty. The bowl contained large chunks of chicken, bell peppers, and brown curry. Absolutely an A. It was perfect given the day. My friend next to me had the Cottage pie. The beef looked so good. The person across had an Busker burger. They were disappointed when it came out with mushrooms despite asking for no mushrooms. The server corrected it quite quick. My friend gave the burger about an A-. My other friend had the mixed grill. The rashers looked under done and beef overdone (suppose to be medium rare??as old as Methuselah’s cat ). The white and black pudding looked good. All and all summation is this place was fantastic. My friends all thanked me for introducing them to this awesome pub.Slán agus beannacht leat.
Oh the bill came to $360 plus we left a $70 cash tip as the service seemed short staff.

Great Irish Pub in a great location. Food was delicious and cooked to perfection (you could cut the steak with a fork!) The Irish platter reminded us of Europe and was fun to get (its a lot of food and you could split it easily!). The Scotch egg had this yummy pepper relish stuff that just took it to another level…yum!

A well decorated irish pub. Came here for brunch for some eggs Benedict. It was well made and very creamy. However I could not escape the non stop Irish fiddle music blasting from their 20 or so speakers placed throughout the restaurant.

This place is a gem. We both loved our meals. I had the seafood burger(4 kinds of fish) and a beautiful side salad and my wife had a delicious curry chicken meal with homemade fries. The fries are unique… thick, soft, and delicious. Our hostess was very welcoming and helpful. The room is a classic pub decorated with first responder patches and other memorabilia. Newport has many great places to eat but this is now one of our favorites.

Fantastic Irish pub right in the heart of Thames Street! My husband and I came across Buskers on our recent trip to Newport and were immediately drawn in by the warmth of this pub and the authenticity of its staff. They poured a model Guinness each and every time and also offered a lot of classic, authentic Irish cuisine, even their condiments were straight from Dublin.
On Sunday, they not only had live Irish music, which really added to the charm, but also many tvs with the football games on so it made for the perfect atmosphere.
I could spend hours sitting at this pub and recommend it to another looking for a pint while in downtown Newport. We will definitely be back on all our future trips.

Really good Irish pub! Outstanding selection of whiskeys, great pumpkin martini’s and the food was top notch. We had the sausage rolls, fried pickles and wings for appetizers- all were great.

Great place to eat. As good as any pub we visited in the UK on our trip there last year. Stay home and enjoy authentic English food
We tried the Shepard’s pie and the cottage pie. Both were superb. Very tasty and great quality ingredients. The staff were great. Excellent value for money
Highly recommend
And did I mention the creme brulee for dessert?

I had a great time at Buskers Pub and Restaurant in Newport, Rhode Island! They have a nice beer selection—over 20 beers on tap, including Irish staples like Guinness and some local craft options, which was a pleasant surprise. The burger was nice, perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients, and I loved the unique twist of having it served on an English muffin instead of a typical bun. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy with that authentic Irish pub vibe, complete with live music in the background. I’d definitely recommend Buskers for a laid-back meal and a good pint!
