About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Neighborhood gem
We pride ourselves in being your Sports Bar. A place where you can always watch your team with your family, your friends, and with your fellow fans. We have 30 big screen HDTVs throughout the bar and a 4K projector that makes our sports room the Manliest of all Caves.

With the addition of GIANT outdoor beer garden we now have even more space for large groups and outdoor dining!

We have four different rooms and you can hear four different games in four different zones!. With such a vibrant and diverse atmosphere, it's no wonder professional athletes often stop by when they're in town. If you are here for a game you will have plenty of time to get your pizza fix with one of our Chicago Stuffed Pizzas - the best you can get outside of Chicago! Break in the action for halftime? Head out to the Party Patio where you can play beer pong, corn home and giant Jenga and still keep an eye on the highlights replaying on our outside TVs.

    Amazing experience. We are on our honeymoon and they were so generous to treat us to a dessert and couple of shots. Great food, even better service!

    Great sports bar atmosphere. Food was pretty good- was hoping pizza would be better for $30. You have to order from the bar or an app. The latter was ok, but didn't work for happy hour. Biggest issue was the 3.75% fee tacked on after before tax and gratuity. I hate when they do that that makes the pizza even more expensive.

    This was a pleasant surprise! First - the pizza was AWESOME. Thin crispy crust, real mozzarella, nice sauce and the toppings (pepperoni and sausage) were plentiful. It’s a pizza place near the boardwalk so it’s not fancy but it’s NICE, clean, love the app and the service was solid! We’ll be back for SURE

    Cruisers was a great host for the playoffs. Just wish they could have changed the AFC outcome!

    Understood it’s super crowded for sport events, however why take reservations if they aren’t honored? Getting seated at makeshift tables outside in the cold is not what we reserved. They did put us inside after 15-20 minutes, so thanks for that. Menu was shortened for the event and by game start time they were already out of a lot of items. Food came out a lot faster than our previous experience here, however choices were very limited.

    We were at Cruisers for the college national championship game. The place was packed but comfortable. The service, especially considering the big crowd, was great! Their food is always good. I recommend Cruisers as a great place for a meal and a game or just to hang out for pizza and beer in Newport! Go Bucks!!

    We came for the Ohio State football championship and the staff did an outstanding job with the excess of people. We always have a good time when we come. Thanks for taking care of us!

    What an amazing effort on every front tonight! Thanks so much to all the guys and girls at Cruisers for an outstanding experience. They hosted the Bills watch party with over 600 people and worked through every challenge with smiles on their faces. I love the food, I love the people, I love this bar!
