Where Waterfront Dining Meets New England Warmth
22 Bowen’s Wine Bar & Grille is set along the lively edge of Bowen’s Wharf. This polished yet comfortable restaurant blends harbor scenery, top-tier seafood and steak, and hospitality rooted in New England tradition.
A sunset dinner, an anniversary celebration, or a spontaneous oyster stop all feel elevated here. The location is walkable from both Magnolia Manor and, later in the post, Magnolia Portside, making it easy to plan into a day on the water.
Why It Stands Out
The space captures the spirit of classic Newport dining at its best. Outside, boats trace quiet lines across the harbor while diners relax by the waterfront. Inside, dark woods, brass finishes, and tall windows create a warm, timeless atmosphere. Thoughtful service and a menu that shifts with seasonal inspiration have made this a staple for locals and planners mapping out their Harbor district stops.
