We visited in December 09 and loved this pub! We ate on the street level floor in a secluded booth. The booth walls almost go to the ceiling so you have lots of privacy. There is a lot of charm, character, and dim lighting - perfect for a date or a night out with friends. The mac and cheese was... more

My husband and I had a late dinner here on a Sunday night. Arrived about 9:30. Sat in a high-backed booth across from the bar. Service was prompt and the food and beer were both very good.

Busker's a pretty cute pub with a decent beer selection, good service, good food, and good atmosphere. It's also generally less crowded than some of the other bars in Newport, which is certainly a plus. It's your typical Irish pub. more

Looking for a small private room to celebrate a special occasion in the middle of busy Thames Street. This authentic Irish pub has a graet upstairs room that can accommodate 15-30 people. Includes private bar and your own waiter. Lots of choices on menu and great Irish brews on tap. Didn't eat in restaurant downstairs.2 more

After haiving gone to Brick Alley, this place did not pass muster. The service was not very attentive or professional and the burgers were okay at best. The atmosphere was, however, fun. more

Stopped in here for lunch one day. Had the grilled chicken sandwich with ham and cheese. Not bad. Wasn't too crazy about the Busker's fries (steak fries) but I'm sure other people like them. Liked the Irish stuff on the walls and the picture of Dublin by the bathrooms. more
