But if that East Coast itinerary includes Newport, Rhode Island (and we're always a stop on those coastal cruises), I know several places who draw a good pint, two of them traditional-style Irish pubs - the Fastnet Pub and Busker's. And yes, they both have Bass on tap, as well as Guinness.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-34441508127068044522010-04-28T13:38:48.143+01:002010-04-28T13:38:48.143+01:00Oh, I see now you were talking fries.
