If you haven't visited Billy's At The Beach, then you haven't truly been to Newport. A local favorite, Billy's is known for outstanding happy hour Mai Tai's on the patio, sunset Hawaiian dinners overlooking the bay, and buffet style game days with everything from complimentary Chips & Salsa to Hot Dogs.
Step inside and you're immediately transported to the tropics. Soak up the sun after docking your Duffy complimentary, sip a cocktail from their signature "boobies" glassware, cool off under the swaying palm leaf ceiling fan, and lounge to the live Hawaiian band.
This Sunday, they're kicking off the 2013 Superbowl with a game prize raffle, HDTVs, and a special Superbowl Pupu Menu:
- Sizzling Poke Platter
- Shrimp Scampi with Garlic Bread
- Ahi Tartar Wonton Tacos
- Artichoke Jalapeno Dip with Homemade Corn Chips
- Hot Wings with Celery & Ranch Dressing
- Pupu Platter for One: "Cho Cho" Teriyaki Grilled Beef Tenderloin Skewers, Coconut Shrimp, Crab Cakes, Blackened Seared Ahi, and BBQ Pork Ribs
- their regular Lunch Menu...which brings me to my point
Last weekend, while the rain was coming down and the clouds were about to part, the hand model 'n I couldn't help resist a bowl of Chowder and a Mai Tai. So we found the best of both worlds at Billy's.

Billy's at the Beach is a fun, laid back, and delicious place to grab a bite. Mai Tai's there are fantastic. Not quite to the standards that my time share in Maui provides but a very close runner up. The food is to die for! Service was great! I highly recommend Billy's!
