Kicks Ass 10/25/2002

Newby's is the classic bar. Old brick, red vinal booths, moosehead, 4 pool tables, huge patio, strong ass drinks, classic arcade games, 14 TVs, and killer music. It's the bar that has been ever changing since the 70's, yet really has never changed. Sure there's always a new young crowd every year, but you'll still run into the same regulars that have been coming for the past 15 years. The bartenders know everyones names and some have been there for 15 years...and of course we can't talk about Newby's without mentioning Chef Willie. Everybody knows him and he knows the clientel better than anyone. This place is a classic! Pros: Best Staff, strong drinks,, best music Cons: a bit smokey, roof leaks more
