Having had lamb stew many times in Ireland I found it to be both authentic and delicious!
Buskers
401-846-5856
Nestled in the heart of the Thames Street shopping district, Buskers is a truly authentic Irish restaurant and pub. The owners, a husband and wife, hail from Ireland and brought both traditional Irish architecture and atmosphere with them. Named one of the top Irish pubs in the USA by the Boston Globe, Buskers is the real deal. From the Irish sports jerseys on the wall to the Guinness on tap to the local fire and police patches, Buskers is a taste of Ireland right here in Newport. Buskers even participates in a chef-exchange from Newport's sister-city, Kinsella, Ireland. The downstairs bar and tables are great for a casual, tasty dinner and the upstairs room is available to rent for private parties. Visit the website for more information.
