About
The Fastnet Pub is a classic Newport dive bar that locals love for its chill vibe and beer selection. It is not fancy, and the service can be a bit rough around the edges, but that is part of the charm for many. If you want a no-frills place to grab a pint and watch a game, this is your spot. Just don't expect five-star service.
