The Newton Bar in North Ayrshire

Warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was just what we needed, hot and tasty and served quickly. Very child friendly too!

Popped in with my other half one day and had a couple of burgers and loaded chips and it was great. Friendly staff, food was so tasty. I can see why it’s so popular x

Not welcoming one bit. Would not be back. Other bars in area much better. Got voted for bar of the year lol not a chance. If your a local and face fits maybe. If your a tourist 100% NO

Great pub and fab food, staff are awesome

Excellent food and great service highly recommended nothing was a problem 5 star all the way highly recommended would definitely say give it a try

Great wee place. Staff are superb

I'd give it 10 out of 10,such a great atmosphere and friendly

Just has a very good atmosphere

Amazing as always, staff, food, even the patrons, really a great place to go.

Smashing Family atmosphere, kids playing on the dance floor and having a ball!..Dogs are welcome also. Food is great and staff very welcoming and friendly. A lovely place to relax for a couple of hours.

A great pub for visitors and locals.Living on a small island eating options can be limited but The Newton relieve this by having different themed nights. Last night I went to their Curry Club Night with visiting family. For an inclusive price offered poppadoms then mixed pakora as starters then a variety of dishes from mild to vindaloo for mains. We all enjoyed our dishes of buttered chicken, South Indian chicken and spicy land madras which all came with a fragrant rice. A variety of Nan breads were available at extra cost. We all enjoyed ours meals. All in all a fantastic pub curry club night and great for money.

We regularly visit The Newton Bar with kids during the day for children’s disco and in the evenings for the variety entertainment. Staff are always very attentive, nothing is too much trouble. The food is delicious and excellent value for money!

Arrived on Friday night as a party of three adults and one child. We felt very unwelcome from entering by one staff member in particular, rest of the staff were very good. This member of staff was making faces towards our party, probably due to the child in our party who lives with a hidden disability. She reminded us multiple times over our visit that children were not permitted in premise past 10PM, which was understood and acknowledged clearly by us. Karaoke was due to start at 9:30PM, the child in our group wanted to sing and we had asked if she could before leaving. Another member of staff when asked a second time closer to the 10PM curfew said she had “orders” not to start karaoke yet. We felt this was intentionally done so that the young member of our party could not sing. Ruined the start of a family weekend break.

Brilliant staff always polite and friendly. The food is great, and Robert and Lesley are always so welcoming.

Wednesday curry night is excellent.

Reasonable food, well priced. Top staff.👍

We spent the day in Millport and had a lovely lunch. The staff were so friendly and recommended that we come back for their curry night (Wednesday). The food was so delicious that we can totally understand why you have to book early for this. They managed to fit us in and we both really enjoyed the food. It was a great night. Highly recommended. Top food and lovely staff. Thank you

Great service, food and entertainment! The Curry is amazing.

2nd night in a row in our favourite pub/restaurant. Excellent food. Service impeccable and the staff go the extra mile for you. Fantastic value for money Speciality food amazing.

watched the football over a couple pints on a Tuesday evening. good, clean pub serving a range of beers and spirits. I only had Tennents Lager. On Wednesday, we picked up our evening meal - Curry Club - Dinner for four. The 3 Vindaloos and the one Rogan Josh we ordered were exceptionally good. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely day with all the family

Went for the curry club night which was excellent. Poppadoms with red onion relish, followed by mixed pakora as a starter, followed by different curries for us both and rice with a giant naan. Everything was cooked to perfection, with great flavours, and all served by super friendly staff, who really are dog friendly as well. Everything was spotlessly clean, and one of the best curries we have had for a long time, best of all just a 10 minute walk from our accommodation.

Went to the Wednesday night curry club. Fantastic meal, great service and really accommodating with our 2 dogs giving us a corner table that was quiet.

Great welcome from Lesley. Delicious shared starter of chicken tempura with sweet chilli sauce or soy sauce and a little salad. Very refreshing and appetising. Sirloin steak cooked to order, chips and salad , well presented and very satisfying. Sea Bream, roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes…heavenly. Beautifully cooked and presented. Compliments to the Chef. Highly recommend the Newton for excellent food on the island, or just for a drink and a wee chat. Always made welcome and so appreciated.

Lovely friendly staff, great food, really good pricing, great knowledge with allergens. Had a sit down and chat to the chef on arrival about allergens and was greatly catered for. Loved it, definitely be back!

Met friends for lunch , first time they had eaten in Newton bar . They were very impressed with the food and will visit again.u ch was delicious.

Staff are very friendly food is excellent we always go in here for food when at Millport

Wow lounge is looking fab, as usual burger n chips delish

My husband & I recently enjoyed a lovely 2 day break in Millport. We had the good fortune to be there on a Wednesday which is curry night at the Newton Bar. We were absolutely delighted with the wide range of curries on offer. The poppadoms, spicy onions & mixed pakora starters were absolutely delicious so tasty. The curries we chose were so flavoursome & authentic (all freshly cooked to order) also the portion sizes were extremely generous. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Newton Bar not only for their amazing curries but for their friendly, attentive & efficient staff. On our next trip to Millport we will definitely make sure we are there on a Wednesday 👍

Peaceful and fresh atmosphere. The fish was fresher than anything I’ve had before. Excellent

Wow! I didn’t expect to find such amazing tapas food in Millport. Beautifully presented tapas dishes with authentic flavourings and a wonderful selection of vegetarian, meat and fish dishes The crispy onions and fillet steak were amazing and the prawns were huge, juicy and so delicious. At the end of the meal I fancied an Affogato after describing to Lesley she went off and brought the ice cream, espresso and liquor Five star review from me and I will be back next time I’m on Cumbrae

Superb staff. Games for our kid behind the bar. So kind. Even made too many chips and brought us some for free! We stayed a bit longer and enjoyed the large array of locally brewed Gin from the island. Staff is so kind and nice, genuine. A clean place, kid and dog friendly. 🐕 Thank you. See you again soon. Thank you x

We visit Millport regular, the Newton Bar is always on our list to visit. Very friendly staff, always chat away to you making you feel very welcome. My wife and I both ate lunch which again was excellent. Looking forward to our next visit, keep up the good work.

Looking forward to our meal burgers were tasty and moist. The only problem was the air fryer chips some on the plate could have been utilised as armour piercing rounds.

Nice food. Busy wee bar, service excellent. Chips weren't anything to write home about🙄 Burger was lovely.

Tuna steak outstanding. Cooked to perfection. Husband had fillet steak with haggis and drambuie sauce which was superb. Excellent service and staff very friendly.

Friendly staff. Nice pint. Good food. Dog friendly. Gave dog a bowl of water when we had forgotten ours. Children welcome in back lounge area. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Relaxed dinner had a drink then thought to stay as served food as it turns out Great food and bar with a local vibe staff v friendly Great food drink and value THANKS

What a night we had at the Newton's curry night. Great value for money. The staff were, as always, amazing. Thank you Lesley. We will be back.

Lovely little pub food was very tasty we were staying up the road and had a take out. Very friendly bar.

Family lunch with the doggo! 3 adults and 2 teens, everyone was fed and happy. We got Burgers, Chicken Pizza, Haddock and Chicken goujons all served with chips and side salad (except pizza). It was quiet when we went in, got seated and served immediately. Menu had a good selection including vegetarian options and a kids menu. Large portions, i'm truly stuffed, good value for money, each adult meal about £10 kids meal £6-ish. I would definitely go back and definitely recommend anyone looking for a lunch in Millport to pop in there. It's dog friendly and our bassett hound Lola got a wee nap in while we were all stuffing our faces.

Went there for drinks in the evening with family. Very Welcoming and enjoyed the evening.

A really nice wee pub. Food was excellent and inexpensive and staff brilliant.

Went here for pub lunch I myself got a quesidilla it wasn't fantastic spices etc inside it were great, there was no cheeses however I've always had quesidillas with cheese, the chicken that was used was dry as, it was precooked chicken strips the kind you get in a pack in the fridges at the supermarket that had just been heated up, which is why it was so dry was disappointed for the price of £10.50 for the ingredients used or lack of. The waitress when we asked for our bill shouted from the bar how much the bill came to this was unprofessional and rude.

Just popped in for a drink. Quiet local bar, staff helpful and attentive. They have curry night on a Wednesday which seems very popular.

Great pub very nice staff food nice good prices

Only in for a refreshment 🍺🍷 but service very good and pleasant

I had chicken burger and chips. It wasn't very nice food, tasted like a very poor frozen reformed chicken patty. Chips were OK and side salad was nice. Some of my friends had other dishes, apparently the burger pattys weren't very nice either but the chicken with chilli dip was lovely. Not cheap food but where is these days. Service was good so no complaints there and the atmosphere was on the quiet side when we came in. We livened the place up playing our ukuleles though

Went for lunch today. Very accommodating. We had a wheelchair and 2 large dogs. They recommended we ate at the restaurant at the back of the pub. Couldn't do enough for us. Excellent service. Food gorgeous. Will definitely be back. Thank you.

Beautiful traditional pub, nice atmosphere, friendly and polite staff. Drank excellent beer and had a very pleasant evening. Highly recommended.

We had a delicious lunch here with the family, so decided to come back for take out for our dinner! Great food! Chicken wings were especially tasty

Absolutely best bar and food on the isle of Cumbrea. Staff very friendly, helpful, Food fab, Curry Night, Steak night. Entertainment great. My favourite bar. ❤️

FAB curry night on a Wed at the Newton Bar in Millport!! Food delicious and staff were very friendly and could not be more welcoming!! ALSO dog friendly! What more could a Weegie want? This great pub which is definitely worth several visits if you are visiting Millport.

Brilliant, friendly staff, everyone made u feel very welcome.

Visited here with my classmates and professors while we were on a field trip. Looks very small from the outside but is actually huge on the inside, loved the ambience! Had a lot of fun playing the pub quiz and they'd also arranged a karaoke night for us!

lovely cosy wee bar. cheery staff.

One of the best steak pies we've had on this trip. Fish was fresh and delicious too. We went on a Sunday and they do not take bookings (good for us), so perfect for a spontaneous bite to eat or a pint in the pub.

Great meals and friendly atmosphere staff very helpful

Nice pub. Friendly staff. They even gave my dog a bowl of water and some biscuits. The type of place where I like to go for a drink and a chat.

Lovely local bar great lounge bar through back a tardis huge Great entertainment supplied by 2 local lads Reasonable prices and excellent music

Great people great place, staff uber

Friendly sea side pub price is on par with the rest of the island and they serve lunches and dinners

Spent a lovely afternoon at Brian and Tracy’s table today while they enjoyed a change of scene at Simon’s table. Food, drinks, staff and company were fab as always, loved the view of the Wee Cumbrae and the unrestricted view of Now 80’s on the telly. We will be back! (If we beat Brian and Tracy to it 🤗)

Love this pub scott and andy great entertainment nice bar staff food lovely also

Went into the Newton today first visit wish I had used the Newton before the steak pie was absolutely amazing and the service was wonderful and its dog friendly Sam was so welcoming she brought water and biscuits for poppy who was delighted with it thanks Sam you made yourself a doggie friend will definitely be back keep up the good work

This little gem is in fact a Tardis , at first you have the impression of entering a cosy dog friendly pub with really cool chatty staff … We were given th nod that Friday night was theme night,and on this occasion Was Steak or fish themed . We pre booked on the Thursday (recommended) . My expectations were unusually cynical . But we entered the bar area had a drink or two then enters the Tardis , A wonderful large tastefully and buzzing restaurant that provided amazing and attentive service . The food was fantastic , the restaurant itself was a complete revelation and we would thoroughly recommend a visit . Thanking you and your staff for an amazing visit . P:S. My wife said it was the greatest cheesecake that she has ever eaten and that comes from a connoisseur. 👍

Amazing meal as always. Spotless bar and restaurant area - yes it's 'retro' as are the toilets but it's Millport not Milan..... However would do fine against any restaurant in Milan! Wonderful steaks, amazing ambience, faultless service and cleanliness, so friendly! Can't see past the...

Absolutely brilliant staff and customers very welcoming

Great little pub. Cosy lovely decor. Pet friendly which is a big bonus. I had the haddock and my hubby had the scampie it was delishious. It is a local cosy friendly pub and I would highly recommend. You pay a visit.

We visited here for an early evening meal with my wife and young family. The back lounge is really tired looking and floor and tables were sticky and dirty. We ordered 3 meals and soft drinks, the meals were ok and only just edible but...

Great atmosphere quaint pub loved it

Very friendly and professional staff good food and very clean place to dine. Prices are very reasonable.

Great bar, really nice place great food and friendly staff

Delicious dinner this evening and friendly girl Food fresh and good value and chatted to locals. We have a long term rent here so this definitely will be weekly dinner spot!

Friendly staff great food ..well done

Nice pub, didn’t enjoy the atmosphere. Bar staff were very rude.

Got to admit pleasantly surprised with the quality of food , price and service. Would recommend. Just wish the would improve the dinning area to match.

Fantastic wee lounge for a meal, good food, a wee bit pricey but to be expected where it is

Best place in Millport for a drink, whether it's a quiet one or a session. Live music, quizzes and a great selection of wine, beer, gin, whisky.... Excellent food including 5 * steak, seafood and tapas theme nights.

Been on holiday in millport, this pub became out local for the week. We were made very welcome, staff were very friendly and helpful. Food we had was very good as recommended from one of the local regular’s, will definitely use this pub on our...

Was there with my grandson had chicken wings they were great. Service good will visit again.

A warm welcome awaits all customers to this well known drinking establishment, which also serves delicious food.

Had dinner and drinks here on a quiet Monday night in Millport. We arrived on the island after 6pm and the local supermarket was closed. We wandered along the seafront to discover Newton's Bar! Very friendly girl behind the bar who quickly served us drinks...

Great value. Dog friendly. I'll be back

Ok bar but the toilet really needs a deep clean, very grotty,cob webs at the back of the cistern and a grubby sink.

Traditional pub. Food was good and friendly service. The tempura battered vegetables were delicious.

Visited this bar for food and drink through the day (9th April) and returned for the live music in the evening. What had been a reasonably enjoyable day was spoiled by the locals (late teens and early twenties) adding their own chorus to Sweet Caroline...

Busy but staff are great , food is good as well

Food was nice, really nice atmosphere, staff were friendly

Best pub on the island. Great staff, couldn’t be friendlier! Very dog friendly, the barman gave Jax water and treats both times we were in. Pub was cosy, clean and had a great atmosphere. Will definitely be going back and recommend for food and drink.

Good beer, good whisky, good staff.

Reasonable prices for food and drinks. Good basic pub food and friendly staff.

Good bar, good service and good prices. And most important of all? Dog friendly!

Really pleased with my afternoon! Great staff

love a nite in the Newton! Always have a great time and staff very smily. Well run in these covid times.

Great food and decent prices. Lovely staff and dogs are welcome.

This is a good place but feel they were a bit unfriendly towards us, maybe as we came from Glasgow. Got the feeling they didn't really want our service as not very welcoming to visitors.
