Cliff Walk
The Cliff Walk is probably one of Newport&#;s most legendary tourist attraction but it&#;s light to see why. The Rhode Island coastline is already a stunner, to begin with.

With no gay block or space to call its control, Newport's LGBTQ group feels 'isolated'
NEWPORT — Even before the COVID pandemic, Daniel Cano-Restrepo said the LGBTQ community in the city had felt estranged.
“There is a community out there, it’s just somehow disconnected,” Cano-Restrepo said. “A gay block or an LGBT establishment, of course there is a need for that, and the group will respond to that place.”

Several homosexual bars have opened and closed in the city, but there has not been one in operation since The last one, Castaways, was open for just two years at the former location of the city’s longest-running gay lock, David’s, which had closed years before

We can tell you that people write us regularly asking about the LGBTQ+ nightlife in Newport. Sometimes they are people planning a visit (or a move) who haven’t spent much time here. Other times it’s from people who have come here many times before and fondly remember the queer establishments in the past that they could count on for some community and fun.
A anecdote from last year to illustrate: In the fall of , we partnered with the Top of Pelham for a NewportOUT evening at the dueling piano bar. One of our favorite dueling piano players, Davina, was scheduled to perform. We hung a bi
