Tickets Bar & Grille

Great food with a great view! For a bar and grill, this is definitely above average. Our waiter, Sorio, was very nice. We loved it here!

the best ceasar salad ever ! my husbands scallops were excellent and the waitstaff is super
friendly

Great food and service! Got the prime rib special… Very delicious. Would recommend!

My first and last visit to this restaurant was tonight. We walk in and get bowled over with the smell of some bleach type cleaning solution to the point it was a little sickening. At least they cleaned. Not one other patron to be found. Menu prices were a little more than we wanted to pay but it’s close to Newport, so ok. But it’s a pub and prices ranged from $ 14-​$ 23. Pasta dishes were more expensive than seafood. We ordered the island chicken and the mixed grill. The chicken and beef kebobs for the mixed grill dish were no larger than a quarter around, no joke, four little pieces each, jammed onto a skewer, one skewer each. Barely any fries. I wouldn’t complain if the price was $ 10, but we paid $ 16.50. The island grill was one piece of chicken pounded out, with artichokes and some sauce. Sauce was tasty, I’ll give them that, but i wouldn’t have spent $ 14.50 for it if i had known what i was getting. We were still hungry and decided to take advantage of the two for one pizza and just take it home, nibble, and have leftovers. But no, the waitress tells us we have to eat it at the restaurant, even if it’s just one piece. Seriously? We just spent $ 38 on dinner including a soda and a lemonade, but we can’t order and take home pizza? From a restaurant with nobody in it? I was shocked. The only reason a place like this stays open is because of the bar scene, and the amount of people that flock to the area in the summer. I won’t be back. If i can figure out how to post a picture, I’ll add the mixed grill pic.

Well the staff was friendly and courtious… had eggs benidict. Lack of holinday sause. burned English muffins. Home Fry’s had no flavor .had bloodie Mary’s. No standerd pour… So good luck with your 9.00 drink.

Such a great spot to sit and watch the game! Great drinks, great food, and even better service. Servers and bar tenders are friendly and courteous. Definitely recommend!

Had a great meal. Had the Thursday night local special !!! The island chicken I’d order again ! Good service and nice view from upstairs !!!

This is my family’s favorite go-​to spot in Middletown. Our annual trip to Rhode Island isn’t complete without a meal at Tickets! Always great service, good food, and location. Sit outside and watch the cars and people go by while ocean breezes blow past. Love this place.

Poor service and iffy food safety… We stopped in for lunch the other day, and sat outside. And then waited a long time while the waiter (who I think might have been new?) waiting on other tables, but didn’t so much as come over to offer us water. I had to go inside and ask whether our table had been assigned a server before he came out to take our order. To his credit, he did apologize profusely. My friend and I both got nachos. And then proceeded to have digestive distress– beginning about a half an hour later and lasting until the next day. I’m not sure what was wrong with those nachos, but we were both sick

Stopped in for a bite before leaving the Newport area. We were immediately greeted by a cheery waitress who got our drink order.
The drinks were not so good, but not terrible. We then ordered some basic dishes. These took forever to come out of the kitchen, and the waitress basically avoided us during the wait.
The food was virtually inedible and was definitely not fresh. Both dishes were luke warm and dried out.
So bad I couldn’t finish my meal.
Go somewhere else for food. If you just want to sit and have a beer, the place is fine.

This might be the worst food I have ever consumed in my life. I would not recommend this place to anyone. For starters we ordered fried cheese and chicken quesadillas. The dipping sauce was completely bland and the quesadilla had a terrible after taste. The after taste taking one whatever equipment it had been cooked on and not cleaned prior. For my main course, I order bbq chicken pizza. The chicken tasted like rubber and old. For such a great location, the food was terrible. Additionally, the restaurant did not have a pleasant smell. I just hope I don’t get food poisoning and pay for it tonight.

Tickets checks the box on the dining category known as food. As pure fuel to maintain normal body function, Tickets meals provide adequate sustenance. I highly recommend it to all people with mouths. Service with a smile, and the calamari are authentic food as well.

It was late night and one of the only places we could find that would serve us food (upstairs in the bar). Good thing is that the apps are ½ off from 9−11pm. We ordered two apps and a salad. The salad came out first and was absolutely drowning in dressing, a few microscopic onions and a handful of sliced hard boiled eggs slapped onto some fresh spinach. Not appetizing at all. The fried calamari was tender and not greasy; I would have preferred if the sauce was on the side, but since it was poured all over, I was glad that it was tasty. The ahi tuna was healthy portion; too chewy if I paid full price.

We sat upstairs in the sports bar section… Waitress was awful. Drinks took way too long to get, we ordered an appetizer and said we would order a meal after we started eating… Never got checked on by the waitress or our drinks refilled. Food was ok when we finally got it… Wouldn’t go back, nor would I recommend anyone to go either. Spend your money somewhere else in this beautiful area!

This place is RIDICULOUS.
I went in here with friends to watch a hockey game and have some drinks. The waiter came over, took our orders, and asked for our Ids. I gave him mine (which is a «under 21 Mass ID, however it doesn’t expire until 2017 AND it shows my birthday AND it even shows the «under 21 until date). He refused to give me my drink saying that they cannot expect an ID with the words «under 21» on it.
WHAT??? This ID is not expired, he saw my birthday… just because it has the text under 21? Makes no sense. I’ve never had anyone tell me that before. It’s a perfectly good license. I’m not going to spend 50 dollars just to get a horizontal on when my ID isn’t expired.
I’ll never go back here just because that rule is absolutely absurd and makes zero sense. What difference does it make it my license says if it’s not expired and clearly shows my birthday?

Was in Rhode Island for 6 weeks and ate here probably 6 times. Always had good food, good service, and good prices. Never disappointed. Half off wings on Monday and Tuesday is a steal and the best I’ve had in Rhode Island. Only reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service upstairs is a little suspect. You don’t get the same great customer service treatment upstairs than you do downstairs and it is literally night and day.

I love the menu here. There is a mixture of ‘from the sea’, and ‘from the land’ items, and even some vegetarian options. I had the fish and chips. It was two meals worth of food, perfectly cooked and perfectly breaded, had homemade-​tasting cole slaw and tartar sauce, and was just exactly what I was hoping it would be.
My friends had the seafood reuben, regular reuben, and a personal pizza. They all seemed very happy with their meals. I have to say that the oysters weren’t up my alley, but I was glad I tried one, just to see what the fuss was about. Speaking of the fuss, the water view from this restaurant is fantastic.
Knocking off one star for the bathroom door not locking, but the rest was very good!

Went to watch the Seahawks game last night, after the Pats fans had left for the night.
The service was pretty good, looked like they only had one or two people on upstairs. The was good but way too expensive ($ 15 for the greek pizza, which was just cheese and sundries tomatoes). Get the «make your own» option, it’s cheaper.
Beer prices are reasonable, a ton of tv’s, nachos at the table next to us looked awesome. I really like the couches and comfy chairs in the corners.
Half-​price apps from 9 – 11 is a great deal, I got the tuna. Standard, but good.
Head down to catch your team, even if they’re from the far corner of the country!

I’ve been here a few times and everything has always been great.
Four of us went yesterday after a relaxing day on the cliff walk. We were hungover and ready for bloody Mary’s.
The wait was about 20 minutes due to a party upstairs. No problem. We waited even though there were multiple tables open downstairs– they looked a bit short staffed.
We received our bloody Mary’s and they were delicious. Our server asked if we were in a hurry to order seeing as we had waited a long time – very nice – but we were in no hurry.
Thank god we weren’t because the large party upstairs backed everything up to an extreme. My friends ordered two clam chowders that took 45 minutes to come out. Luckily our food came out shortly after. Everything was delicious and hot.
Our server thanked us for our patience and informed us we were the only table who hadn’t cussed her out all day lol.
People were straight up yelling. Thankfully, we are understanding people and don’t care, but the wait was a bit ridiculous. Things happen, though. People call out and I understand that may have been an issue. The polar plunge was also going on and it was New Year’s Day. This won’t stop me from returning, though. The food is awesome, service is great and prices to match!

Tickets is great for everything that you need it to be. When at 1^st beach, and you can’t find a table outside at ABC, just walk across the street and get seated quickly… you can still sit outdoors or cool off in the AC inside. There typically won’t be that much of a wait.
It also is great for sports games. they have really good wings deals on Monday nights. As I said, it is great for what you need it to be… a sports or beach bar. If you have any other expectations, than you may be disappointed. I have eaten their a few times, and tried the pizza, mac and cheese, and chicken fingers. All were delicious.
