1 Best Bar in Newport County and East Bay, Rhode Island

The Fifth Element

This chic bar and restaurant, a popular locals hangout, offers specialty cocktails and elevated pub fare amid a smattering of Asian and Mexican-inspired apps and entrees. Next door, the Outer Element is a cute little beer garden where you can toss back a 'Gansett (what locals call Narragansett beer) and ditch Newport's preppy side.
