Drago Lounge

You'll find Drago tucked into Friars Walk's second floor, and it's the kind of place that makes you forget you're in a shopping mall. The space has that relaxed-but-polished vibe—low lighting, proper cocktails, staff who actually know what they're doing. The menu leans towards contemporary restaurant fare with real care in execution, whether you're after something light or settling in for the evening. It's become a proper go-to for locals wanting somewhere above the usual Newport fare, and the 1,200+ reviews speak to genuine consistency rather than hype.
