As we make our way quickly towards the beginning of October and Columbus Day, many restaurants (particularly among the waterfront) are preparing to call it a season and close during the off-season until next spring.
While a lot of the restaurants who close it up for the winter wait until Columbus Day Weekend or after the Bowen’s Wharf Seafood Festival, some have already battened down the hatches.
The What’sUpNewp Crew has started to compile a list of when Newport’s beloved seasonal restaurants will close, try to make your way in before they do and say thanks for the summer memories!
Also, many seasonal restaurants have already cut the amount of days or hours they’re open so before you make your way over to them, it’s best to give them a call!
- Atlantic Beach Club – While live music on the patio has ended, the patio is still open throughout the rest of summer and early fall (weather depending). The restaurant (inside) will continue to operate through the remainder of the year before closing just after New Year’s Eve and will re-open under new ownership.
