Riverside Sports Bar — Restaurant in Newport

Riverside Newport sports bar

I ordered the triple decker burger. The burger had 3 smashed patties with American cheese, bacon, onions, BBQ sauce and mustard. The burgers were absolutely amazing and full of flavour. The beef was really tasty, really cheesy and so delicious.

I had the Cajun dirty fries 🍟 which came fully loaded with southern fried chicken, cheese 🧀 sauce, crispy onions, crispy bacon 🥓 and BBQ sauce. The chips was crispy, the bacon was crispy, the chicken was crispy and all cooked to perfection. I can see why these are their best sellers.

I got to try the smashed cheese burger tacos with cheese 🧀 red onion, spring onion, chillis 🌶️, gherkins and fully loaded with sauce. These was my absolute favourite and could have had a plate full of them. Full credit to the chef Craig for smashing the cooking. The tacos gotta go on the menu full time 👌.

The misses had the black and blue burger. Double beef patties, bacon 🥓, caramelised onions, Stilton and ranch sauce. She usually gets fed up of burgers 🍔 when eating but she finished all her burger and absolutely loved it. She did say the Stilton sauce was strong but she loved it.

The sports bar has a really good feel about the place. It got plenty of 📺 for all sport, darts 🎯 boards and of course a pool table. I can definitely see me popping back down when the football is on with the boys. The beer garden is amazing over looking the river and is a sun trap.

The staff was very polite and helpful and thanks to Natalie for making us feel welcome and a special shoutout to the chef for making mouth watering food. It was a pleasure.

I will definitely be back and can’t wait to try more off the menu 👌.

My experience here was very disappointing & underwhelming, due to the managers rude/hostile approach to reason with us about purchasing alcohol to stay in the bar. Me and my friends don’t drink and just wanted a leisurely game of pool to enjoy our afternoon. However we felt pressured and intimidated by his arrogant attitude despite his leadership role. We maintained a calm attitude and proceeded to try and deescalate the situation. this is a prime example of ageism as there was a group of older men near us also playing pool without ordering anything from the bar. we mentioned this but he dismissed these claims and told us we were giving attitude. Overall horrible service from the manager and a very disappointing visit to say the least, wont be...

While enjoying a game of pool at a bar, my friends and I were confronted by a rude manager insisting we buy drinks or leave. Politely asking if purchasing drinks would allow us to stay, he became aggressive. Despite our attempt to clarify, he rudely asked us to leave, accusing me of giving attitude. I had an unpleasant experience at the riverside bar today due to a disrespectful man claiming to be the manager. His unprofessional behavior tarnished my visit. I expect better conduct from someone in a...
