Definitely a "locals" kind of place and the ones I met were all friendly. If you're looking for an old school kind of bar, this place fits the bill.

Update If you're…read morelooking for a spot that nails the classics while still feeling fresh and fun, Pooch's Pour House is it. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming--laid‑back enough for a casual night out, but with just the right buzz to make it feel special. Wings: Hands down some of the best wings around. Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in sauces that actually taste crafted rather than generic. The buffalo has that ideal balance of tang and heat, while the honey BBQ hits with smoky sweetness. What impressed me most was consistency--every wing came out cooked to perfection, no soggy bites, no overdone edges. Nachos: The nachos are a showstopper. A generous pile that doesn't skimp on toppings--every layer has cheese, jalapeños, and savory goodness, not just the top. The house‑made queso is rich and creamy, and the fresh pico adds a bright kick that keeps the dish from feeling heavy. It's the kind of plate that's perfect for sharing, though you'll be tempted to keep it all to yourself. Beyond the food, the staff is attentive without hovering, and the drinks are cold and reasonably priced. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for a game, a night with friends, or just indulge in comfort food done right. Bottom line: Pooch's Pour House delivers wings and nachos that set the bar high, and the overall vibe makes it a spot worth returning to again and again.

The burgers and wings are great, as is the beer selection. The service is reliable and attentive…read more This is also a good place to check out a game; there are multiple TVs that air all sorts of sports and leagues.

Grey Sail was a brewery I tried from the state of Rhode Island. Not a state that I have many…read morebreweries bookmarked in so this one was more of an unplanned but nonetheless pleasant detour amongst all of my craft brewery wanderings. The name of the beer that I had and enjoyed was the Leaning Chimney which is a Smoked Porter. I do love a good porter and especially when the timing and mood is right for one. I really liked the smoky aspect going on with this beer. It is the main highlight and not terribly subtle but not overpowering either. Flavor features to have fun with on this porter are dark chocolate and a coffee flavor with a campfire essence to it. The beer is light bodied for a porter yet still smooth. Grey Sail was a nice dip into the craft beer community of Rhode Island!

Grey Sail Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Westerly, Rhode Island in November 2011. It was…read morefounded by husband and wife Alan and Jennifer Brinton. A chemical engineer by day, Alan brewed at home at nights and on weekends. In 2009, Alan and his wife Jennifer started thinking seriously about opening a brewery. The couple located a circa 1920s building that had originally been the Westerly Macaroni Factory. They outfitted the building, hired a great staff, and were open by the end of 2011. The first beer they brewed was "Flagship Ale". Jennifer oversaw the brewery operation while Alan continued to work full-time as an engineer, all while they raised four children. The Brintons later purchased the historic Cataldo House next door. After a careful renovation, they opened this property as their taproom and outdoor beer garden in May 2016. The brewery also partnered with Vetrano's Restaurant to launch "Vetrano's Wood Fired": fresh wood-fired pizza prepared on-site at the beer garden. The original brewery building is now used exclusively for production, canning, and beer-to-go sales. In 2020, Grey Sail expanded by opening South County Distillers: a sister distillery located on the same property. I have been enjoying Grey Sail's beer since the earliest days of the brewery. I have also visited the brewery a number of times and enjoyed watching them expand over the years. I recently stopped there for lunch with my son while we happened to be passing through the area. After grabbing a table at the beer garden, I ordered a sampler flight at the taproom which consisted of "Hazy Day" (Belgian Wit), "Middle Child" (IPA), "Raspberry Reef" (Wheat Ale), and "Haze, Ho!" (New England IPA). The latter was my favorite. For food, my son and I ordered and shared a "Cheese Pizza" and a "Margherita" (fresh mozzarella, sauce, basil, parmesan cheese, EVOO) from Vetrano's. We really enjoyed the pizza! During our visit, my son and I also enjoyed a few games of corn hole. Between their eclectic beer selection, quality craft cocktails, delicious wood-fried pizza, and spacious taproom and beer garden, I highly recommend a visit to Grey Sail Brewing!

From the moment you walk in, the vibe hits just right. Warm lighting, a modern coastal feel, and a staff that treats you like a regular even on your first visit. It's the perfect after‑work escape or pre‑dinner stop, and the energy stays upbeat without ever feeling rushed. The happy hour menu is where River Bar really flexes. Thoughtful, well‑priced, and packed with flavor, it's clear they take just as much pride in these offerings as the main menu. The small plates come out fast, beautifully presented, and consistently delicious--exactly what you want when you're settling in with a drink and good company. Everything feels elevated but still approachable, the kind of food that makes you say "let's order one more" even when you know you're full. The drink specials are equally impressive. Creative cocktails, balanced pours, and bartenders who know how to craft something refreshing without overcomplicating it. Whether you're in the mood for something bright and citrusy or a smooth spirit‑forward sipper, they've got you covered. And of course--Nanas deserts.....If you know, you know. It's the kind of standout that becomes part of the ritual, the thing you tell friends they have to try when you bring them for the first time. Between the quality of the food, the unbeatable happy hour value, and the polished yet relaxed atmosphere, The River Bar has firmly earned its place as one of Westerly's best. A flawless five stars and an easy recommendation for anyone who loves great drinks, great bites, and a place that gets the details right. Cheers

I actually expected it to be really busy when we got there around 10:45, but there were quite a few open tables. They sat us in a queue table right in the window near the water. I couldn't decide what to get because everything looks so good. I ended up with the Patatas Brava which had soupy in it. I haven't had soup in years and they made it really stand out with the home fries, eggs, and crema. My wife had the basic breakfast, and everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. We ordered an apple crêpe for the table that had caramel and toasted almonds on it. The staff was also great. We had one waitress, but a second one was always there to check on us. The service gets five stars for sure! I wish we had a place like this near our house.

We were told there would be a 30 minute wait for rotisserie chicken and that salads with chicken would be substituted with crispy chicken, but we didn't order anything that should have required that kind of delay. During that time, we watched several other tables come in after us, get their food, and leave before we were even served. After our drinks were dropped off, our server never checked back in to update us on the delay. However she did check in after we got our food. I completely understand that things can get busy, but the restaurant was empty, and multiple staff members passed by our table without acknowledging us. Overall ambiance was very nice... the exposed brick, the cozy booths. But we won't be rushing back any time soon.
