ABOUT

Newport Blues Cafe is a 435-capacity live music venue and restaurant in a historic 1892 brownstone on Thames Street, originally built as the Aquidneck National Bank. The two-level space features an intimate first-floor performance area with dining and dancing, plus an upstairs lounge overlooking the stage.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The venue presents rock, blues, funk, R&B, and jazz multiple nights weekly, hosting both regional acts and world-class performers. Rated "Best Live Music" by Newport Life Magazine for 20 consecutive years. Full food and beverage service available throughout shows.

HISTORY

Established in 1995, Newport Blues Cafe quickly became Rhode Island's premier intimate music destination. The stage has hosted A-list performers including Jackson Browne, Joe Bonamassa, Brandi Carlile, Leon Bridges, Mumford & Sons, The Neville Brothers, and Deer Tick. Over 25+ years, it evolved from a local venue into a nationally recognized destination.
