Beyond exploring the natural beauty, historical and cultural attractions of any resort town, I find the best way to delve into its indigenous culture and understand its true colors is by finding a great local restaurant, settling in at the bar with a cocktail and making friends with the bartender. Almost without fail, the folks behind the stick at these bubbling establishments are the key to a great time. They know where to go and what to avoid. They make you laugh.

Welcome to part two of our continuing exploration of the new league of Newport bartenders taking the helm at some of Aquidneck Island’s hottest spots.
