Rejects Beer Co . r�� This is the spot to get over a breakup . All kidding aside , Rejects Beer Co . was named after the surfer hangout , Rejects Beach in Newport , a stretch of sand claimed by those who can ’ t get into the private Bailey ’ s Beach . The space features an ’ 80s basement hang-ten vibe with retro video games like Pac Man and Nintendo available to play for free and other games that require a few quarters . It ’ s family friendly with coin-operated prize dispensers , pinball , cozy nooks and communal tables , plus outdoor views of Easton ’ s Pond . Order Mexican takeout online from neighbor Diego ’ s Barrio and Cantina for delivery right to your table . Then stake out the top deck for sunset dinner views over brews . WHAT TO DRINK : The Pina Colada Sour Ale is outstanding with pineapple and coconut notes .
