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.

The bartender that served me was amazing and the owner really loves his place. I love the fact that they have bands and comedians come in, offer karaoke and open mic nights, have a free hot dog special on Thursdays and so much more. The drinks are very reasonable for their quality and location. In a world where so many places have cocktails for $15-20, this place is far less. They are thought out and well made too! This spot has a lot of regulars which is always a good sign. I chatted with so many people while there which I love. A bar with good drinks, a a friendly atmosphere, a love of live music, and more is a place I'll def come back to. Check it out---whether for the drinks, the music or both!

At first I really liked this place and probably would've left a five stars-- before I explain more,…read moreI do still think it's worth popping by for a casual bite. The burger I ordered (bacon cheeseburger with no bacon) was delicious. No complaints there and I will probably reorder. The only problem here was that I asked for sweet potato fries instead of regular fries, to which the waiter simply said okay. Turns out it was an undisclosed upcharge. Not only did he not tell me it would be $2.75 (or something like that) more, but the fries are listed as the same price online. When I told him that, he said that their online menu is really old (this is to say, don't look at it! and also, not sure why they wouldn't update it if they know it's incorrect). Sure enough, the printed menu also said nothing about an upcharge for a different fry, so ultimately I was able to remove the charge, but it was a little awkward and frustrating. My only other complaint is not particularly the fault of the restaurant, but I suppose just a side effect of the laidback vibes. A group of 7 or 8 people came in like 20 minutes after us and was so loud that I almost suggested we leave. My guess is they were drunk, but it was a Wednesday night around 6:00, so I wouldn't have expected that. They were so loud that I was yelling to my friend who was within arm's length. Totally changed the vibe and enjoyment for me.

The biggest surprise this time was a brand new food menu. Much improved and has more contemporary take on the bar food. Its as if the Japanese Izakaya influence has been infused into some of the menu items - Karaage for example. It is not called that on the menu, however. Gotta try other items on the emenu The service was great. Usually is. Maybe extra attentive because it was a Monday night. Anyways, its a good time nevertheless.

So one day I decide to play some rock music, fairly mainstream stuff, and she sends her lackey over to cancel ALL of my choices. Mind you, I don't go in for fringe-alt-rock, but I do for instance prefer Jimi Hendrix to, say, the Beach Boys. So I pop in my four quarters for 12 songs. She is behind the bar with the smug smirk while the lackey does his thing. I was taken aback by this rudeness. Ya know, why not just pack your jukebox with shitkicker music and eliminate the conflict?

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.
