Helmsman Ale House

We enjoyed food, atmosphere, and servers are so nice!

Sooooo so impressed on the vibe, staff friendliness and the food was all on point. Just can’t say enough about this place - met up with friends here and a mixture of food to share. To start off the new england and west coast IPA were tasty; Wings were cooked so well and sauce was perfect; shared the nachos and the charcuterie tray with pretzel which was stellar. Great experience all around

I watched the Super Bowl here, while enjoying delicious food, and a variety of helmsman crafted beers. They have a great turkey sandwich with avocado and sweet potato fries, I highly recommend.

Love this spot in Newport for brunch or lunch. They have a nice patio and can easily catch the game if you're looking for live sports as well. Close to the beach if you grab a bit and want to walk over to the beach.

Family had different experiences on the same visit. Burger is a 3 star. Nothing special but it’s good. Brisket sandwich was a 4, would have been a 5 if they had Au Jus sauce, and tacos were a 5. Beer is ok? But the prices are fair. Great service

Definitely go on a weeknight (besides trivia night which I think is Wednesdays). Weekends are packed. Parking is nonexistent on weekends and open on weeknights except Wednesday trivia night. It would be nice if they had heat lamps on the patio. It’s next to the ocean and it does get cold.

Friend is allergic to avocado restaurant still put avocado on the dish after we specifically told them not to. We didn’t notice it immediately because the dark ambiance made it hard to see. Friend ended up eating some avocado before they realized what was going on and had an allergic reaction. Restaurant’s reaction to this was amazingly obtuse. Didn’t care acted like it wasn’t their problem. In fact waiter asked if there was another dish they could grab for my friend while he’s coughing. We waited for over ten minutes and dude didn’t bring us the bill. Had to go up and ask for the bill and another waitress also acted like it wasn’t a big deal. We had to run to cvs to get Benadryl for our friend who was having allergic reaction to the food. Would never recommend this place for anyone with a food allergy. Place gives absolutely two cares about food safety or just safety in general. Never seen such little care given to something so serious. In fact if the owner reads this, he should immediately retrain everyone at the restaurant if he doesn’t want a death on their hands. If I knew what department to report this too to force the restaurant to take this seriously I would report this to the state, that how little the staff seemed to care. Dietary restrictions: Zero care given about this customer beware.

Nice atmosphere to relax with friends!
