414 E. Seventh St., Newport
Jerry's Jug House started as a garage with ties to bootlegging during Prohibition but went legal the 1930s as a "jug house." New owners have revitalized the joint while staying true to its roots. Says one of the co-owners, Stuart MacKenzie of the Northside Yacht Club, To the legendary Jerrys regulars, yes, we will have a $3 domestic neighborhood draft special. We will also carry eight wines by-the-glass and many others to go; our focus is on natural and organic, but we have something for everyone as long as it tastes good. Along with the updated cocktail selection, the Jug House also features two seating areas, an expanded bar, flat-screen TVs, garage-style doors to create an indoor-outdoor feel and a former back office has been transformed into a lounge.
