I come here whenever I'm in town visiting my mother. Great atmosphere, great food and people. Always good new items on the menu. Heck, I remember coming by here as a small boy and seeing my grandpas car out front. read more

Always good food. Drink and draft menu os always changing. A regular go to spot even if they are busy

I have been going to the Mews for a bit over 10 years and now I have a chance to review! The good: -Excellent beer choices with over 69 beers on tap. This beer menu changes every few weeks and they constantly offer the best beers from around the world. -The food is outstanding. I have many different items on the menu from burgers, chicken wings, pizza and the Mexican food. All food is fresh and some of the best "pub grub" in the state. -Atmosphere is always fun and unique. There is a tree in the middle of the main dining room, dollar bills on the ceiling, a canoe hanging from above, etc etc. -Happy hour during the week (I think it starts at 4) is great. Discounts on beer and free food samples in the bar. The bad: -long wait, especially on the weekends. I go to the Mews on the weekend nights expecting at LEAST a one hour wait. No worries, have a beer or two at the bar! -Prices have been steadily increasing over the years. -Portions seemed to have gotten a bit smaller over the years too. I am not too overly concerned about this since my waistline is thank full for this. -Parking can be tough, especially on the weekends. Simply put, a must try for any Rhode Islander. read more

Went to college at URI, and this place was a staple. Great beer selection compared to anything nearby. Food is decent, and service is average. I can't say anything stands out, positive or negative. The wait can be really long at times, so show up early. I've been there on a Tuesday night with 4, and waited over 30 minutes for no specific reason. Compared to other choices in the area, this place takes the cake. read more

Great beer list. GREAT. Had the mac and cheese, which was creamy and herbaceous, just right for this 55-degree rainy day. Friendly service, not too loud (upstairs at least), plenty of sports-friendly tv's as well. Would've loved to get an app as well but nothing under $10 made that a hard sell when dining solo. read more

What the Mews does, they do extremely well. Looking for beer? 69 different taps ( a few root beer and ciders thrown in, but we'll forgive them) with a list of scotches and bourbons that would stun Foster Brooks in his tracks. (for you young 'uns look him up on youtube) The food is fresh with quality ingredients...a menu that has something for everyone. Well done. read more

As much as I love this place, I never remember to go so thankfully they were on living social which prompted the visit. Always a wait to be seated especially since I went on a Friday night but now they have a great system where they text you when your seat is ready. While waiting we went upstairs to the bar, there were plenty of seats up there and you could have eaten there so, always a way around needing to wait. The bartender upstairs was great! Knew all the beers, provided samples and suggested just the right one. The wait time flew buy and we were seated in the dining room which has such a fun vibe! Got the truffle fries....amazing!!!!! Perfectly seasoned and a great starter especially when accompanied by beer. Ordered the mushroom pizza which has lots of different mushrooms and was made in a coal fired oven. The other order was a burger with bacon and peanut butter...so odd but worked amazingly well together with a Caesar salad (croutons had the perfect crunch). So if you are looking for a fun night out with a great variety of beers and some great food you need to check this place out! read more

Mews Tavern - Mushroom pizza - American Near Me - Wakefield, Rhode Island

There's so much to choose from! Great for everyone in the family. Quick courteous service and great atmosphere. Family and adult oriented.

The Mews is one of my favorite places. I'm actually a little bit mad at them because the menu has changed and my favorite item has been removed. Mews management, if you're reading, bad call on taking away all of the specialty sandwiches, Lucifer's Lunch was a winner. Anyway, I stopped off there a few weekends ago for lunch and had a Cajun chicken sandwich. It was moist with very fresh lettuce and the roll was tasty. It was a toss up between trying the sandwich and a calzone. I ate my sandwich and watched the pizza maker toiling in front of the pizza oven and decided to order a calzone for take out. OMG. Seriously, it was DELICIOUS. EVEN DELICIOUS COLD. EVEN DELICIOUS COLD THE NEXT DAY. A nice mix of locals, college kids, families, etc. There is something for everyone on the menu. Choose from 69 beers on tap. You can't lose. read more

Love this place! Nice atmosphere, great beer to choose from and friendly staff. We started off with the nachos based on other reviewers...meh.. they were just so/so. Nothing too extraordinary. I got the Pink Panther Calzone. Crazy good! It is so different and unexpected. Their homemade pink vodka sauce really adds something special. If you are a pizza/calzone fan and want something new and delicious, give it a try!! My husband got the Whiskey Jack Burger. I had a taste... it was delicious too! We will be going back often. read more

The Mews is an AWESOME bar - well, really it's a couple of bars inside one big building. The decor is very cool and I love the warmth from the wood floors and low ceilings. The main dining room of Mews has a huge tree in the middle of it. Off to one side is another bar/eating area and all the walls are covered with dollar bills that people have written funny notes on. Upstairs there's a fun Irish pub. Because there are so many options and the experience can't be duplicated, it's always packed at the Mews. They have 69 beers on tap so the only trouble is trying to decide what you want to drink. There's also a large food menu that's fairly eclectic - Mexican, pizza/pasta, American, salads etc. One thing that's very stupid is that drink specials in one bar aren't the same in the other bars even though they're all the same building and business. So be careful about where you order. The Mews is a tad pricey so I wouldn't make it a regular stop, but it's very fun and interesting - definitely worth the wait and distance! Check it out! read more

It's not the servers. It's not the food. Both of those are awesome. It's a petulant attitude of management and an almost gratuitous obsession of punishing people who question things. I just posted this on my Facebook page, and thought I would here too. Basically the host station takes a lazy, and almost robotic methodology to seating people, and they don't put the effort into thinking in nuance based on party size (always just me), to find a place to sit. So I end up, with an hour drive to the place, waiting in my car, only to find I could have been seated right away. One manager actually told me that I "don't know how restaurants work. So this is a great atmosphere once you are seated, and beside stingy pours on beers that anywhere else you could get a pint for the same price as their 10 ounce, it's a place, if you can believe me, I enjoy being at. But I have to get their attention, and after several attempts to speak to the owner, I figured this might get a rise out them. This was last Saturday's experience. So last night at Mews had a really uncomfortable ending. I've always struggled with the hostess booth, because they give canned wait times, and don't bother to see if a single seat at the bar is available. Last night was such a night. They didn't even try to ask upstairs for a seat. So about a half hour in the car and I called in. I got a really helpful guy who said he would look and text me to come in. When I got up top, the entire pizza bar area, and a high top, were empty. I let him know my frustration and moved on to enjoy the evening. All was going swimmingly until it came time to pay. I have an Apple Card and there are no numbers on it. Their chip reader broke. So I gave the guy the card number from my app. He came back with a manager and said it declined. What ensued after that was the manager telling me hey knew I was a regular, and I could call in another card when I get home. We would have been fine if he stopped there. But nooooooooooo. He had to add that I would not be allowed back until I settle the bill. We talked rather intensely for the next 40 minutes. Oh and the card number? It was their mistake and they got the number wrong. The card was fine and I was able to pay my bill. read more

Great place to eat in Wakefield! Went with my sister around the Holidays. Food was excellent (Great Martini!) It was very busy but a pleasant wait. Shops nearby to stroll while waiting! The decor was a romantic, cozy atmosphere ~ even though I was with my sister. Restaurant is a must if you are in the area! read more

Great burger! I had the make your own 1/2 pound burger and it was excellent. The bun was large and kept the whole thing together. Cooked perfectly medium rare. We had a very good server. Drinks were well made. Only negative was the 25 minute wait and it's somewhat pricey. I'm looking for a little more value from Mews. I would recommend. read more

Fantastic food! The Mac and Cheese is the best! Fantastic Beer and Cider selection. Great ambiance and always a fantastic crew working there. A must! read more

Look, I didn't even want to give this place one star. Bartenders were pretty odd and looked MISERABLE from the third floor all the way down to the first. Staff was MISERABLE and ignorant and you could tell they didn't want to be there. Waitress was condescending and rude. Bouncer was a complete egotistical douche. Manager was no help at all and I pumped some loot into your racist and poorly ill managed dump. I would've stayed in Northern RI had I known I'd be treated with such poor unprofessionalism. And I know I'm just ONE person out of thousands but you can bet your ass I'll never go here again. I'm sad I even spent the money I did here and tipped your servers 20% even though they deserved 0 (I'm a server, so I would never) And I'm also telling everyone I know not to go here because your establishment is racist and rude and the staff sucks. read more

I http://www.mewstavern.com/ Lucifer's Lunch...that's all I have to say. If you like spicy sandwiches then this is the food for you...jalepeno galore. Environment here is very conducive for a get together of friends. They also have 69 beers and TVs for your sports watching pleasure. (Definately a college hang out type of place) There are quite a few different rooms...the happy hour room is quite interesting there's free food there and many dollar bills stuck up on the ceiling....my mother got a kick out of that when I showed her the room. I admit one of my dollars is up there! There is also a low key room with couches and a bar. And of course the resturant itself with a tree in the middle of it. It's a very all american pizza and sandwichs joint...and I admit I do crave thier menu on occasion... I can't find any spicy chicken sandwich that matches to thier Lucifer's Lunch Too bad they aren't located in CA too. read more

5 stars. Our bartender Kelly was everything you could hope for...kind, courteous, prompt and helpful!! The bar felt super clean and safe with lots of plexi glass. Highly recommend the beanoa burger. Cozy place to get some great beers. Can't say enough good things!!! read more

Mews has the best cocktails in the area, very decently priced, not to mention 69 on tap! The set up and decor of the tavern are very unique and provide 3 different atmospheres all in one place! They also did a great job with outdoor dining during COVID, which will continue this summer! The food is also pretty decent for a tavern, you can't go wrong with the late night menu. Servers are all polite, some of the bartenders can be a little ... frisky ... at times! Definitely a casual place to grab a few drinks with friends. read more

Painless and perfectly executed curbside service. I ordered a pizza at 5:15 for a 6 pm pickup. Pulled into my parking spot, texted the number with my name and spot number. Within 60 seconds a very pleasant young lady arrived at my car window. The pizza was fantastic even after the drive home to Newport. Cheers to the Mews for getting it right! Thank you. read more

When you can get a parking space and a seat, this place makes the best burger. It is always a debate for me which one to get. The black and blue is one of my favorites. The Mac and cheese with lobster is a favorite of my grand daughters. They also make a mean pizza. read more

Consistently great. 69 beers. Dollar bills cover the walls and there's a tree in the middle of the restaurant! They have several levels, and handicapped entrance options. The menu changes, but their house smoked meats are killer!!!! I love the Mews!! read more

College hangout! As a former URI student, I knew about this restaurant the second I set foot on campus. They're famous for their enormous selection of beers on tap and beer racks. Their bar walls are covered in dollar bills usually all signed by college students and the enormous tree located in the center of the restaurant is barkless and signed as well. All of their appetizers are pretty good but bar food. Their burgers are pretty impressive and their grilled pizzas as well. I would not recommend this place for a date. The food is decent at best and it is usually a rowdy and/or noisy college hangout. I frequent there with my sister to split a beer rack and their nachos but never once went there on a date. Also, unless going to the bar, expect to wait at least 20 minutes for a table for dinner on busy nights. read more

Have eaten at the Mews Tavern twice. Once late night after a show at Theatre by the Sea and another time with my family. Amazing beer selection, tried the "beer flight" and was able to sample 5 of the 69 beers that they have on tap. My son (underage college student) was not happy with the amount of beer on the table (and none for him). Appetizers are very large and decent. Tried the nachos (not my favorite but my kids ate the entire dish) and the buffalo chicken dip (nice and spicy). I think they make a great burger. Both times my burger was cooked as I like it (medium rare) and well seasoned. It's actually a pet peeve of mine, as most places never send out a burger unless it is medium well to well done. I'll take my chances with a burger that is not overcooked, thank you. Service was friendly and the food arrived quickly. It seems like a great place for a beer and burger. read more

Stopped here on my way to Providence from Ct. I chose...wisely. it was packed for 6pm on a Thursday and soundgarden was coming out of the speakers. Great start. I was told it was Burger night. After choosing a porter (the name escapes me, but I know It's from RI) from the 69 beers on tap, I ordered the Blazin Saddles burger. Always good when a burger money shots you. And since it was Burger night, it was only $5. Can't beat it. Also had a hop nosh ipa from UT. Great staff, great food, great beer/selection. read more

Sad when a restaurant tanks like this. Horrendous food,really one step up from a vending machine at a truck stop( barely,think poorly run friendly's) but hey maybe and old dusty dollar bill will fall from ceiling into your food?$14.99 for a Philly cheese steak?? Absolutely Embarrassing!! Years ago(many) this place was kinda of cool,that is firmly in the past. read more

This place is great! From the need beer / got beer signs to the 69 beers on tap! Monica was our server and she awesome! We noticed her even basically scrubbing everything at another table down after the people left. Doing her part during the covid times! Food is good & look forward to coming here the next time we in town visiting our daughter read more

Pros: Cool location Decoration Lots of beer selection Cons: Expensive ($7 for a kids grilled cheese and no drink with it. also no prices on kids menu) Clam chowder had one chewy previously frozen clam and no potatoes, nothing in it... Burger just OK for how expensive. $13-14 burger in a non-city needs to be pretty darn good these are below average. read more

Excellent place to hang out with family and friends! The upstairs bar is lively with trivia and amazing drafts while th seating area downstairs is excellent for kids as they sit under a beautifully construct tree that sits in the heart of the restaurant. The menu provides a large range of options so that picky eaters and sophisticated cuisine enthusiasts will leave with fully bellies. read more

Normally I love the mews and have a great experience but our waitress Victoria was not friendly or welcoming at all. She took a while to check on us, showed some attitude, and less than 10 mins of paying our bill asked us to leave as we were finishing our drinks. We weren't sure exactly what the issue was, she was unwelcoming and unfriendly the entire time. read more

Good scene for grabbing a drink and meeting up with a date or friends. But the FOOD WAS HORRIBLE! It's fun to throw a dollar bill up on the wall as is tradition here. read more

You have to go here if you like beer, pizza, wings, and/or burritos. Seriously, the food is great and the beer list is really good. I love their wings and the kitchen sink pizza is yum! Nuf said. All good. read more

A little known gem beyond the locals! Since returning from Iowa City, IA I have been searching for a bar that had the laidback, college town vibe abundant in IC. Too many bars in Rhode Island either take themselves too seriously, come off as dive bars or just have an unwelcoming vibe. This gem was exactly what I have been searching for! I went for drinks with some friends. I only hung out on the top floor, but I hope to go back to figure out what all the dollar bills stapled to the wall are about. Pros: 1) Beer menu IS TO DIE FOR! I am an avid stout and porter enthusiast. Common in the mid-west year-round it has been a struggle to find anything, but Guinness in RI because "it is the Summer". Mews understands that some people's beer tastes do not change just because the seasons do. There were several stouts and porters on the menu, and I got that tender feeling a beer lover gets when they find a bar that "gets it". The beer menu was so extensive and the descriptions were so tempting that I ventured beyond my stouts and porters and got a rack that included a shandy and an ale. 2) Great music that does not drown out the conversation. From the booths to the moderate volume music, this bar facilitates conversation. Better yet, the music is still loud enough to hear over the crowd which is great because the music is awesome. There are hits from various genres and decades so something for everyone and great when you get to the sing-along stage of drunk. 3) The food looks delicious! I did not personally try any, but I was really tempted because the food looked amazing. If the food is not good than it is a true testimony to presentation. 4) The service is wonderful. I was not surprised to find our waitress attentive since there weren't that many patrons the night we went. If the service is just as good when it gets busy then I would give them a 5.5 lol 5) There is plenty of parking! 6) TVs are visible from most of the booths so it is a great place to catch the game. Cons: The only con for me is how far the Mews is from where I live because I would go there 2-3 times a week if it was closer. It is a con for me, but the location is awesome. read more

It's my 21st birthday they only gave us one drink and than refused to serve us.... which is lame. Mews use to be my favorite place but now it's not. You lost a customer. Congrats. read more

Good menu and specials. After a Confusing entrance an greeting finally found a seat in the bar. Like the burger and drinks but great service in bar. Busy place even during the week! Go early or late read more

The Mews is a staple in our town! I've been going since I was a kid with my parents and still go about once a month. Def join the VIP club if you go often at all! Its easy to earn points which transfer into $ off the bill and great deals like two for one pizza night. The beers are great and its always fun to have such a diverse selection! Not to into the cocktail list most seem too sugary for my taste, wish they would offer a more classic listing. Over all recommend the Mews and will be back! read more

I went here with the family because the menu advertised a fair amount of vegetarian options--not to mention all the beers on tap. It's probably fine if all you want is a burger and beer, but I wouldn't suggest it as a solid vegetarian place. I got the W.T.F. (falafel wrap) and it was NOT good. It didn't taste authentic at all. The actual felafel had a thick fried shell and didn't have much flavor. The vegetables were the opposite of fresh and oddly lacking flavor as well. Not the mention that the whole thing fell apart when I picked it up. I got it with curly fries, and there was a hunk of fried nothing under the heap of fries. Also got the fried pickle appetizer. It wasn't horrible but the pickles are slices and not spears, so you can't taste much pickle! On the other hand, the atmosphere was cool, beers were good, and the root beer from the tap was awesome. Service was good. read more
