The Newport is an impressive complex that had captured the hearts of locals and visitors when we opened its doors in early 2016, making it Australia’s largest beer garden.

In 2018 Bert’s Bar & Brasserie was unveiled showcasing a mouth-watering coastal European menu overlooking Pittwater and the stunning grounds of The Newport.
