The Newport

The verdict

The amazing Merivale team have gone and done it again, The Newport is the ultimate place for your next Sunday sesh, day drinks with the BFFS or a catch up with the fam. The stunning outdoor areas (calling it a beer garden just doesn’t cover it) are literally all you need in your life, with multiple spots serving every kind of food. Want fruity cocktails? Asian stir fry? Pizza? All of the above? Yeah, they got you.

The garden is fitted out with fire pits in winter, tables with views over the water, cabanas for the squad and even a luxe European restaurant upstairs, Berts, which just happens to be all of your delicious (and Insta dreams come true). 

Back out in the garden, you can take your pick from the (almost) endless—like we said, we’re talking about pizzas, burgers, seafood, salads, sandwiches, pastries, grazing boards and cocktails (duh). After you have decided what you’ll be ordering, take a seat under the canopies and enjoy the live entertainment every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 

The Newport is seriously the place to be, and you can even bring the little ones along for the family entertainment, including face painting and live acts. BTW you can even bring your pooch. It just doesn’t get better than this, folks.
