White Horse Tavern

America's Oldest Tavern - Est. 1673

The White Horse Tavern was originally constructed in 1652 as the residence of Francis Brinley. It is now America's oldest tavern, beginning its operations in 1673.



Over the next hundred years, this location was the meeting place for the Colonial Legislature, Criminal Court and City Council.

White Horse Tavern Newport RI

There have been just six owners in the rich 350 year history of this tavern, one of the finest Newport Rhode Island restaurants.

The ambiance, fine dining and impeccable service here will make this a location you'll never forget. Most Newport restaurants provide excellent service, but they go above and beyond here.

Start off with an appetizer of Iced Shellfish or Poached Lobster, followed by a fresh salad, then enjoy the New England Lobster Saute or the Seared Prime Sirloin for your entree.

The Tavern also offers private dining rooms for groups of four to seventy people. You can choose from 3 dining rooms depending on the size of your party.

If you want some privacy for your group of 8 or more, try the Pub Room, with its private bar and fireplace. This is perfect for an intimate cocktail party with hors d' oeuvres.
