Kave Bar is this dark underground watering hole found on Barrenjoey Road. While it might seem like this bar looks eerie because of the lack of lights, Kave Bar is actually one of the warmest places to be when you’re in Newport.

This establishment boasts of simple but tasty bar food like Peruvian chicken wings, burgers and cheese plates. However, people generally come here for their specialty drinks, the vibe, and musical performances.
