Oliver Twist closed years ago. The bar has changed hands several times since, although it has maintained its martini theme. It's just The Martini Bar today.

The service is okay; the prices are a little high, but the place hosts some good entertainment including local bands, solo musicians and poets. Good mix of local and tourist patrons of all ages and lifestyles.

Great bartender named James. We went there after a great hike up Boyton Canyon and had a blast. He sure will remember this Newport couple. Their martinis are quite varied and the place is very clean! They have an outside fireplace and patio with live music a few evenings per week.
