Newport makes music feel the best possible way it can. Reconstructed from an old theater hall, Newport provides number one entertainment for any audience, and there are multiple levels from which to view the bands playing. There is also a bar inside with well-priced drinks and a side door for smoking, while still being able to hear the music. Prices are good as well as everything you'll experience at the Newport.

My husband recently won tickets to a show at this venue. They offered free parking at the OSU parking garage across the street and it was within walking distance to the venue. We waited in line for a few minutes, after being admitted we were asked if we would be purchasing alcoholic beverages and we responded yes. We were then given bracelets after they viewed our identification. I found it annoying that when we ordered drinks (every single time) from the bar (way overpriced in my opinion) we were carded. Why wear the bracelets in the first place? This place was not what I had expected!

Going to the Newport is definitely an experience. It's dark and kind of gross, but it is fun. I saw a couple of concerts there and it always seems kind of druggie to me. Lots of people in all black with died hair. It's right on OSU's campus so it is pretty much all students there. They do get a lot of good bands though and it's close to so much that you can walk.

Newport music Hall has awesome rock concerts from all sorts of bands. I've been there many times and every time is just amazing. The place is small enough to feel cozy and yet large enough to fit a wide number of people. They have new bands from all over the country come to newport. I saw Shinedown there and it was not just a rock show but an experience.
