Where Heritage Meets Quiet Elegance

Named in honour of Kinsale’s historic sister city—Newport, Rhode Island—The Newport Lounge is the Blue Haven’s hidden gem. Designed for those who appreciate a slower pace, this beautifully appointed space offers a sophisticated yet cozy alternative to the vibrant energy of our main bar. With its plush seating and refined nautical touches, it is the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversation and culinary discovery.
