Metal night on Monday was fun. Grabbed some delicious IPAs from the bar inside. Plenty of seating options in or out. Love this larger new spot for these guys. Street parking is plentiful and free. If you have extra time, check out the other businesses in the area too from distillers to coffee shops. read more

Hubby & I were across the street at ISCO for an event & decided to pop into the new Buttonwoods Brewery location. It is the former location of Revival Brewing Company & Lost Valley Pizza. It is a large open space, they took out the big front bar & the weird bar in the back. Beer is excellent - we tried the German pilsner & the Italian Pils. There is lots of seating & some fun vintage arcade games. The kitchen has been taken over by Screaming Unicorn. We didn't eat because we were heading out to dinner but the pizzas looked delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

I've been in several times and the staff is always friendly! We've gone to trivia on Wednesdays a few times and it's fun. Make sure you check that day in history and who's born that day cause there are always questions about that! Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is cause they predominantly make IPAs and I don't like the variety. They have has a couple semi sours lately which are tasty! read more

Top notch beer, bartenders and food (from in house chefs at Screaming Unicorn). Taproom is huge but inviting...our favorite RI brewery. Good variety of styles of beer, too. read more

Great food super fast service love it. Hope to get back there soon. Loved the ambience and the character.

Came here for a few drinks with my wife and kids. Beers were good, food was better than some other breweries I've been to in the past. Great atmosphere to hang out with friends and families. read more

Hard to find the entrance, but once there I went to the bar. Ordered a Pilsner - nothing like any pilsner I've had before - and I've been to Prague, had plenty. My pint was half beer, half suds. Yay. $9.24 ish??? Seriously? I was shown the screen where I could leave a tip...$11.00 for a half pint of over hopped pilsner. I'm not the kind of guy who gives a crap that you made beer. I am the kind of guy you will not miss - one who says posers are posers. I won't be back. read more

New place looks amazing! Absolutely love the changes they made, so much warmer, and exceedingly more inviting. Still happy to see the same furniture from Cranston, making those of us that frequented feel right at home. Beer was delicious and the food from screaming unicorn was delicious! Super friendly service as always. read more

Beers were just ok. Service was not great, the beer tender seemed annoyed and irritated

This is my new favorite Rhode Island brewery! The stout was so flavorful and complex. My surprise favorite was the sour with orange and vanilla!! Tasted like a boozy creamsicle! Can't wait to come back read more

I attended Trivia night at Buttonwoods and had a splendid time. The beer is good but you probably know that already. The venue is positively post-Industrial and a nice warm spot tucked into an old mill building. There was a food menu themed after the trivia that night (Twin Peaks) and while I didn't partake my friends loved what they tried. The trivia host was exceptional. I plan to return for another of their trivia nights down the line. read more

Buttonwoods Brewery - Buttonwoods. - Breweries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This is a very long overdue review for Buttonwoods. 5/5 stars for the beer, the variety, and the ambiance. The first time I went to Buttonwoods was right before the pandemic. The space was warm and inviting--an honest-to-goodness hidden gem in RI. (Navigating the gravel industrial parking lot is a bit of an adventure, but that's part of the unique charm.) We picked up beers curbside during the pandemic, and now we finally made it back this fall to see how the inside has changed. It's a perfect refuge for anyone looking to spend a rainy weekend afternoon with friends or family. On the most recent visit I tried a bottle of First Breath, a Rustic Industrial Ale with Blueberries. It was crisp, perfectly tart, and bursting with blueberries. Their Pilsner was a highly crushable delight too. There's really something for everyone on their tap list which is part of the joy of going. If someone in your group only drinks IPAs or sours, odds are they're going to have something divine for either. From 2019 to now they've been putting out amazing product and we look forward to going back more regularly in 2024! read more

I stumbled upon this place randomly and did not regret it the ambience of the place is very cozy and relaxing. The service was quick and pretty simple you go to up one counter for drinks and another for food. The food was good the tomato soup and grilled cheese was so delicious the mac and cheese was okay a bit bland for me but not too bad. The place is very welcoming and relaxed and they have plenty of beer optionsz read more

Buttonwoods Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Cranston, Rhode Island in December 2017. It was founded by brewer Morgan Clark Snyder Jr. After college, Snyder knew that he wanted to be involved with the alcohol industry in some way and he took up homebrewing as a hobby. After getting good at it, he volunteered on the bottling line at Hardywood Park Brewery in Richmond, VA and later earned an internship with Union Beer Distributors in Brooklyn, NY. Snyder eventually found himself working as a brewer for Bronx Brewery. After learning as much as he could about the beer industry, he convinced his father to go into business with him and open their own brewery. Snyder named the brewery "Buttonwoods" after the section of Warwick that his parents lived in. They found a space inside a circa-1912 old mill building and named it "The Annex". At Buttonwoods Brewery, Snyder brews everything from European-style lagers to farmhouse ales to New England IPAs. The brewery quickly earned a reputation for being one of the finest in the state. My son and I recently visited Buttonwoods Brewery after we went on a long bike ride on the nearby Washington Secondary Bike Path. I decided to look and see if there was a good brewery nearby for lunch, and Buttonwoods came highly recommended. I really liked the look, decor and atmosphere of "The Annex"; a really chill place. My son was entertained by their vintage arcade cabinets. There's also an area with a stereo system where customers can spin some vinyl. The brewery had a nice mixture of different styles available on draught during my visit. I decided to order short pours of "Go Up In The Clouds" (Pale Ale), "Move Mountains" (New England IPA), "Object Permanence" (Citra IPA), and "Cool Arcade" (DDH Zero IBU Double IPA). I thoroughly enjoyed every single beer that I sampled. Buttonwoods also has their own on-site kitchen named "Screaming Unicorn". My son and I were pretty hungry so we ordered and shared the "Sweet Chili Popcorn Chicken" (crispy chicken thigh chunks, sweet chili glaze, miso aioli dipper) and the "Unicorn Fries" (super special seasoning, chili glaze, avocado crema, scallion). Both dishes were very tasty and paired well with the beer! I'm so happy that so many great craft breweries have been popping up in Rhode Island in recent years and Buttonwoods is no exception! I'll definitely be back! read more

Good beer, variety is across the board here. Food was excellent good pizza want to try other things here.

Buttonwoods is an awesome brewery. It looks like there is only street parking but that's not true. I didn't realize until after COVID that there is a huge parking lot in the back so definitely using that moving forward! Before COVID, you were able to drink inside and you could see the equipment they use to brew in house. It's crowded but never too loud. They have a brewery dog Ollie that is so calm and absolutely adorable. If you're hungry, there would be a food pop up inside on the weekends. It's always fun when you visit. After COVID, tables are now set up in the back. There is usually a food truck on site that you can order from online for social distancing. Now I often visit to enjoy a food truck and the latest sour Buttonwoods has created. I love that they rotate the sours so you can always try something new. I definitely recommend visiting! read more

Fantastic spot in a Mill factory. Warm, cozy, eclectic theme with tables/chairs with a long bar /counter in the middle. Love the new set up vs the old one (same building, I went pre covid). Great beers, cute little snack shop to order food. They were setting up for trivia night so we left earlier than we wanted to but that's just not our vibe. Apponaug brewery is closed due to flooding so we picked some new places to try. We love it here. We will be back. read more

Absolutely outstanding! The food, the beer, the funky atmosphere! We will definitely be back.

Bold beers Makes Cranston proud Convivial environment I can't call Buttonwoods a community per se, but every visit feels like being among your community. All are friendly, all are accommodating, all are having a good time. It's never too loud, but it's nearly always boisterous and upbeat. Good conversations happen here. A variety of beer styles are on rotation here. Food trucks love pulling up and serving here. Select dogs are a natural delight here. Some light fun and games are a feature here, as are vinyl Thursdays. Morgan is someone you want to meet and have long conversations with, and elicit some good, solid, resonant laughs from. Ollie is someone you want to pet, lavish with attention, and bring home (you know...if that wasn't going to be a problem). If you like beer, come here. If you like people, come here. If you like to drink good beer with good people, come here often. See you around. read more

Buttonwoods Brewery - DIY style up in here. - Breweries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This place was really cool. Found them on Yelp when we were in the area for shopping. It is two breweries inside one space. We found it loud at first until we found out Wednesday nights area trivia nights. Everyone was having fun and lots of banter back and fourth with everyone. Unfortunately we got there when the game was already going on. Thursday night is vinyl night so you can bring albums and they play them. They also have a small kitchen that serves a few items. We had the chili nachos which were not bad at all. Can't wait to go back on another night to see what other things they do. read more

Buttonwoods Brewery - New place to try - Breweries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Twenty of us were in town for a weekend get together, and half of that twenty spent a very enjoyable time here Saturday afternoon. The tasting room was very large and crowded, and we saw a large group of families with babies there, not, toddlers but babies ! That was pretty cool to see. Ollie, the brewery dog was walking around like a Maître D' greeting every table and patrolling the floor for scraps of stray food. Ollie is one of the mellower dogs you will ever see. Buttonwoods had seven beers on tap, including three that oddly had references to 'death" in their names - Hip Hop is Dead, Death and Co., and the Sweet Release of Death. What's up with that? I had a pour of the Sweet Release - a coffee stout (7.6% ABV) with notes of strawberries and vanilla. It was smooth and flavorful and extremely drinkable. Buttonwoods doesn't serve food, but on most weekends they have a food truck on site. Saturday was no exception, as HG 80 and their untraditional lineup of enticing ethnic tacos were there. The food was great. So there you have it -a very nice time at a very nice place, sharing beers, and tacos with friends. What's not to love? read more

New location is awesome. It's huge inside, and filled with games. Very kid friendly. Max behind the bar is amazing. The food is top notch.

For my friends, it's no secret that Buttonwoods is my all time favorite brewery. It's the most comfortable, welcoming, inclusive, and customer-centric place I have ever visited. There are always events going on in the taproom and outside that feature special brews, incredible food trucks, and great local artists. I can't say enough good things about Buttonwoods. I have visited with friends, family, and co-workers and a great time was had by all. I recommend Buttonwoods to everyone I know who likes great beer with a laid back atmosphere (not to mention the puppies that have themselves become regulars!). Stop what you're doing and go to Buttonwoods right now. read more

Buttonwoods Brewery - My current favorite, Peer Pressure. - Breweries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Fantastic selection of pours and cans. Well crafted beers and sublime artwork. The food is quite good as well. The service is always friendly and they don't mind having a chat. Ample space to sit and chill. A nice niche place to spend sometime. read more

Honestly, Buttonwoods is amazing. The beer is great, the service is OUT OF THIS WORLD. put simply, I told them it was our first time and they bent over backward to tell us about the options, give us tastes, bring us waters and check in. I feel at home - even part of the buttonwood family. I'll absolutely be back. read more

Stopped in to grab a beer while running errands. Place is super relaxed. They have board games, cards and even some old school arcade games. I tried their flagship brew, Object Permanence. It was a solid IPA and rated a 4 on Untapped. I would suggest this place to grab some beers. read more

Buttonwoods Brewery - This is part of the taproom that has the arcade games and board game space. - Breweries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Stopped by last night for waffles and beer. Didn't know they only have IPA's and Stouts here, not an IPA fan so we stuck with the stouts. Pleasantly surprised. We had a 6 oz pour of the Death and Co Coffee stout, yogurt lid Girl Scout cookie stout, and the 33 and Ollie Stout. All three went down smooth, but I really liked the Death and Co coffee stout best. Glad to see you could buy single cans at the end of the night. Would recommend this spot. Good amount of seating, fun games and guest food vendors - make this a fun spot to visit. read more

A great place to stop by, meet friends and play a few games. We were in the area and decided to stop on in. This is a great use of an old under appreciated space. An old mill now turned modern day brewery. We both grabbed a delicious rich stout, found two seats looking out the front windows and crushed a few rounds of UNO. Spacious, bright and chill. Everything you could ever want for a Sunday afternoon. read more

Great Product This is another old mill that has converted a floor into a brewery. Now the beer being produced here is pretty top notch. A good percentage of these new pop up breweries true serve inferior products. Buttonwoods is not one of them. The servers are super friendly and they do have flights for tastings for about 10 bucks. Tip: Broken Record is my favorite beer. One thing to be aware of is that you may run into the smell of cat pee in the mill. I didn't see a cat around, but I know that smell. This place is a winner, but mainly because almost every product they make is well reviewed and are really delicious. Thanks read more

I think this brewery is a hidden gem in RI. They brew a variety of beer types but every one I've tried I've enjoyed. The autosphere is very relaxed like most small breweries. However I like the decor and use of space is stunning. They have several games for people to enjoy playing while drinking their beer and the way the space gets light in the day makes the space light and enjoyable. I actually like this brewery the most out of our close local breweries, so much so I brought my 7 day old for my first official post pregnancy beer! Side note, they do not allow dogs but they do a brewery dog that is adorable and friendly. read more

Buttonwoods Brewery - An IPA on the left and their summer sour on the right. - Breweries Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I loved the old location and I love the new one. Sadly visited last night and even though the room was not reading ' death metal' that's what they played all night. Really? Also the food was seriously over salted. Fingers crossed this is just teething pains for this awesome brewery. read more

Came on a Friday night to try the beers and the food from Screaming Unicorn. Food was very good, only got to try one of the beers because some people brought their young children and let them run laps around the entire place and race on the desk chairs, crawl under people's seats, etc. Not the brewery's fault obviously but it would've been nice if they said something at some point, especially in a venue that allows dogs. If my dog was 10% that disruptive we would've been asked to leave. read more

Buttonwoods has really come into their own now. Not that I didn't enjoy their beers. Their IPA's have gotten more polished and delicious. The introduction of the Italian Pils Lager is just fantastic. Low AVB and just crisp & clean. The new option of online ordering and pickup at the brewery is a welcome addition. Can't wait till the taproom reopens to have a proper pint. read more

Delish brews, fun atmosphere. Great for people watching and dog friendly! Staff super friendly and knowledgeable.

I really liked this place. With the standard of local microbrews converging a pretty high level, what you are really looking for is ambiance, and Buttonwoods gets it right. Sure, the reclaimed industrial setting is not exactly original, but it reminds me of the earlier days of craft brewing, when these places set up in spaces that really were breweries first and beer halls second. The eclectic mix of secondhand furniture, games, the inevitable couples with dog, it's all fairly cliche at this point, but here it works and sets the right mood. It would be great if they could use some of the lot in back for outdoor seating in summer. read more

I had an awesome first experience at this very new brewery. Thanks to RI's seriously annoying laws governing breweries (they have to be in zoned industrial zones) finding this place is a little awkward, but that's not their fault, and the parking situation seems less than ideal. Once inside though, it's a bright, pleasant space with plenty of room to sit/stand/lean/hangout. Buttonwoods serves a variety of beer, not just IPAs, which is a relief for someone living in NE that isn't a total hop-head. But don't worry, they also do hazy beers. Small pours and large pours were available. They have games strewn about to play, they had girl scout cookies for sale at the time which was awesome (my Smores cookies went well with my stout), and best of all: there's a brewery dog! Ollie was very friendly, but they can't allow other dogs which makes perfect sense. Beers were pretty good. Not yet amazing, but this place is very new and I bet they will be able to compete with the other top notch RI breweries very soon! I will be back for sure! read more

Love this brewery! The seating is great -- was able to grab a beer on my own and enjoy a book. The beers I tried were all tasty. One thing that was weird is that they don't do flights, but you can get two half pours at a time, so not so bad. Either way, I'll definitely be back! read more

Update: this has turned into one of my favorite breweries in the state! The beer is so good! Morgan the owner is a really cool guy too! Visited this brewery for the first time yesterday. We only stayed for a little bit to have a Burgundian waffle, and try the waffle beer. The waffle beer was really good, try it whilst you can as it's a limited time collab! I will definitely be back to try their other beers. The space inside is pretty cool, and they have plenty of games to entertain yourself and your group. And they have a brewery dog! Ollie greets you with a bark as you enter, but don't be scared, he is so friendly. He sat next to me pretty much the whole time I was there, I think I made a new friend! Will definitely be read more
