EXCELLENT LUNCH ! My wife and I were over at Fashion Island on Saturday to do a spot of shopping......with my wife's son who was visiting with us for a few days. LUNCH ! We decided that this Back Bay Tavern inside Whole Foods Market was our best option for lunch. At around 1.30pm we placed our lunch order at the bar with lovely cashier / server Juana for 1 x CAULI-FORNIA TACOS ( Crispy cauliflower, cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, avocado crema, corn tortillas ), 1 x TACOS DE CARNITAS ( Braised pork, cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, avocado crema, corn tortillas ), 1 x PUB-STYLE FISH & CHIPS ( Beer-battered cod, French fries, tartar sauce ). We also ordered 2 craft beers from their huge craft beer list....1 x Roadhouse Brewing "The Walrus" Hazy IPA, 1 x Offshoot Beer "Escape" West Coast IPA and 3 Iced Waters. We took our beers with us to a long bench table inside ( quite hot outside ) and waited for our meals to come out. Our craft beers tasted very refreshing.....my hazy IPA tasted exceptionally good. FAST SERVICE ! Within a few short minutes Juana brought our our lunch order.....everything looked sensational ! My wife and her son thought their 3 well presented ( on taco racks ) humongous Tacos tasted fabulous. WOW ! Even though I'm an Aussie it's been a million years since I've had Fish & Chips. The beer-battered Cod was cooked perfectly....I loved it. And my hand cut fresh cooked French Fries hit the spot. We loved our lunch and the very good service by Juana !
This was a great place to stop and have lunch. It is part of whole foods and has inside and outside tables. I got the Wednesday special of Pulled Pork sandwich, fries and a draft for $12.00. what a great deal. The bartender was Gabe and he suggested beers for me to try based on what I normally drink. They had about 20 different beers on tap plus a full bar. It is worth checking out!
One of my favorite places to have a delectable healthy salmon salad and ice tea!
Best Hidden Gem in Newport for Tap Beer and Wings! Juana the Bartender is Awesome!
Great place to grab a beer or a glass of wine before (or after) you shop at Whole Foods at Fashion Island. About a dozen beers on tap (many/most? of them rotating taps), which included Stone Ruination when I last visited. Also, multiple TVs for watching live sporting events.
Should have been a 5 star review. But your hours in the Back Bay Tavern are sporadic. Big Screens to watch the games on the weekends, very cool. What's not cool, being closed on said weekends. Please figure it out WFM!!!! #goldmine
Total gem ticked away at the back of Whole Foods. Twenty four craft beers, mostly local with a few German/British/French on tap including some rare ones. Plus you can bring in any bottles from the store with no corkage. OK but great value cocktail list with a strange overuse of ginger liqueur (in 5 out of the 11). Good bar food with bonus of 9 different sushi rolls.
Nice outdoor seating with wide selection of beers. Comfortable atmosphere and excellent range of sides. Brussel sprouts and calamari were excellent. Burrito was large and smothered with hot sauce - delicious.
