Things to do in Newport, Rhode Island (RI): The Best Nightlife

November 27, 2021 Chanda Heide

Once the summer playground of America's wealthiest families, Newport remains a popular vacation destination at any time of year. The famous mansions, each more opulent than the last, offer detailed tours and give a fascinating glimpse into Gilded Age extravagance. While the town rightly emphasizes its history with a variety of museums and tours, Newport also has a vibrant, contemporary side, made manifest in quirky shops and great restaurants.

Roof Deck Bar at The Vanderbilt

Discover one of the highlights of summer at The Vanderbilt and Newport’s best-kept secret. Our Roof Deck is one of the few places in the city to enjoy a beautiful New England sunset over the harbor while enjoying a glass of champagne or your favorite cocktail. Lounge back on an Adirondack chair, and watch the sun dip below the horizon, turning the sky a brilliant shade of orange.
