Newport, Rhode Island, with its breathtaking coastal views, historic charm, and vibrant dining scene, sets the perfect stage for a memorable date night. Recently, we had a quick 24-hour adventure but made the most of every moment. From staying in a historic mansion to post-dinner cocktails, this itinerary guarantees a romantic and enchanting evening in Newport.

Getting Ready at the Vanderbilt Hotel

Start your date night in style by checking in at the iconic Vanderbilt Hotel. Located in the heart of Newport, this historic “downtown” mansion offers opulent rooms and suites that exude elegance from the Gilded Era. Indulge in luxurious amenities and pamper yourselves before embarking on your Newport adventure.

Happy Hour at the Clarke Cooke House

Kick off your evening with a visit to the iconic Clark Cooke House, a Newport institution since 1780. Head to the lively bar or choose a cozy spot on the outdoor patio overlooking Bannister’s Wharf and Newport Harbor. Enjoy their vibrant happy hour, offering a range of craft cocktails, local beers, and an enticing selection of small plates. Just don’t ruin your appetite before dinner. Toast to a delightful date night in Newport while creating memories in this historic waterfront setting.

Dinner at the White Horse Tavern

Step back in time and indulge in dinner at the historic White Horse Tavern, which holds the title of America’s Oldest Tavern. This charming establishment, dating back to 1673, offers an unforgettable dining experience. Delight in the cozy and candlelit atmosphere as you savor exquisite cuisine showcasing locally sourced ingredients and classic New England flavors. From succulent seafood dishes to mouthwatering steaks, the White Horse Tavern’s menu is sure to impress even the most discerning palates.

Nightcap at the Vanderbilt Grill

Conclude your evening with a nightcap at the sophisticated Vanderbilt Grill, nestled within the Vanderbilt Hotel. This elegant lounge offers an intimate setting, perfect for enjoying a handcrafted cocktail or a glass of fine wine. Relax by the fireplace or soak in the ambience of the courtyard as you unwind and savor the moments of your night.

History drips from nearly every corner of charming Newport, Rhode Island. Planning a date night that captures the colonial history, the gilded age, and sailing culture is a way to see all that the town has to offer. This is just the beginning of our New England escapes, and I’m already daydreaming about our next Newport date night.
