Newport has dozens of restaurants, many of which are easily walkable from the Jailhouse Inn. There’s something for every palate and budget. We keep a comprehensive list at the front desk, and we are always happy to offer personal suggestions.
Here are a few of our favorites:
White Horse Tavern (diagonally across the street from the Jailhouse)
“The oldest tavern in America” offers a truly historic setting and fine cuisine.

This early colonial house, built before 1714, now serves “inspired Mexican.”
