They have a few beers on tap and in bottles plus a full bar. Food menus are available and specials on are a big blackboard on the wall near the bar. After chatting with the cook for a bit seems he can make your spicy food as spicy as you like it. Just let them know. Pro tip. Besides bar seating a few high tops are scattered around the small space. I believe there is one bathroom for all, but I did not use it, so not sure. Entrance is up a couple of steps on the front or back of the building. A small covered outdoor seating area is at the back to enjoy the beverages in fine weather. Parking is across the side street in a lot shared with another business (that building looks uninhabited, but I'm told it's an event hall) or street side. Nice staff. Lovely locals. Super casual.

Best bar on the west side. The drinks are good and cheap, and the staff is really lovely.read more

Who doesn't love The Dog?…read more A fully black painted build at the of a highway on ramp with no windows. Check Dimly lit with reddish hue lit dive bar. Check Great strong drinks and good craft beer and liquor selection. Check Great heavy rock and punk music billowing through the place. Check Friendly bartenders who enjoy talking to the patrons. Check Always some strange movie playing on the TV's. Check A dark dive bar that checks all of the boxes. What more can I say? Tip: Don't be afraid to order a specialty drink, they enjoy pouring them. Thanks

We've driven by Whalen Cafe on West Shore Road in Warwick like a bazillion times & last night, we…read morefinally gave in to our curiosity. The moment we stepped inside, it had that classic neighborhood bar feel & was bursting with character & authenticity. The vibe is no frills, down-to-earth & completely unpretentious. Just the essentials: good food at a great price, full bar & staff that knows what they're doing. Regulars chat like old friends & first-timers get a look but fit right in. Hubby zeroed in on the snail salad listed on the whiteboard & couldn't resist ordering it. It ended up being the thinnest-shaved scungilli either of us has ever eaten! Was it the best snail salad I've ever had (Uncle Tony's in Cranston still has that rank for me)? No... but it was super tender & flavorful. Would we order it again? Yes. A quick heads-up: it's cash-only, but fortunately, there's an ATM onsite so settling your tab is never an issue. Whalen Cafe is one of those classic local gems that remind you why neighborhood spots matter.

There's lots of history here, they opened its doors in 1941. One of the original businesses on the infamous Water Street area in beautiful Warren RI. Nice clientele with friendly bartenders to boot and always super clean. The only reason this place loses a star is that there is absolutely no parking. It's one pf my pet peeves. Thanks
