This past weekend, a celebration of life for my mother was held at Pooch's and everything was incredible! It was held in a room upstairs from their main dining area and held almost 50 people very comfortably. The entire staff was fantastic and were willing to accommodate any needs or requests my family had. The food was outstanding and there was not one guest who wouldn't agree! I would highly recommend to anyone looking to host any type of event to check out Pooch's! Not only was the experience amazing for a private event, but Pooch's is also one of my favorite go to spots in downtown Westerly! read more

Update If you're looking 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. read more

Stopped in to meet some coworkers. One of the best old fashioned I've had . Food was ok I'm and the beers were good. read more

We were a group of 5 for dinner last night. We were seated immediately and the server brought waters and took our drink orders. The drinks came out quick and she took our order for appetizers. We ordered mozzarella sticks, aroncini, and nachos. The nachos could have fed a small army and they are delicious. I ate a good bit and the leftovers still stuffed a large to go container. I ordered a burger. It was cooked perfectly. Everyone said their entree was perfect. We are from out of state but will eat here every time we visit. read more

Good is so good! My brother and I love the old bay wings there and I personally love their chicken sandwich. Nice casual dinner place in downtown westerly! read more

Great pub in downtown Westerly! There was a shift change when we just sat down so service was a bit cahotic to start but staff are definitely friendly. The fried pickles were delicious with two types of dipping sauce. I opted for the Chop Salad with the grilled chicken; it was a generous portion and the flavors were delicious. My spouse had a chicken salad wrap that he raved about and brought half home! Good vibes in the space, several sports on TV and great window seats for people watching. They have a great beer selection along with sangria and hard cider. Be sure to stop in when in town! read more

Excellent service and food, from the appetizers to desserts, and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend for a quick bite, friends or family gathering. All the staff are attentive and friendly, and the menu has something for everyone. read more

Friendly servers and bartenders with great beer selection and cocktails! Great burgers and sandwiches!

A couple of friends and I came here for a casual Wednesday night out. The drinks and food were good, however...the service was AWFUL. The waitress Roxy H treated us like absolute garbage. She ignored us when we attempted to get her attention, every time someone would order a drink she would walk away without asking for others needs, when it came to the tab she simply said it's on one bill no changes. Never checked in ahead of time when we clearly were separate parties. The final straw was when she gave us the check, she literally tossed it in the table as if we were peasants and beneath her. We've been here multiple times and have had great experiences but this particular waitress made us so uncomfortable and so unwelcomed that we're not sure if we'll be returning. read more

2 stars for the service, everyone was friendly. Ordered the wings they were cooked well... really well done. The beers were nice and cold but I ordered an old fashion off their cocktail list. Never a fan of old fashions with cube ice. Pooch's takes cocktails to a new low by using crushed ice to shake them and then serve over. The old fashion was basically brown ice water. Stop for a beer here, but if you want food and cocktails try other places downtown. read more

Pooch’s Pour House - Wings - Pubs Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

I highly recommend this place! My husband and I hosted our rehearsal dinner upstairs, and the entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I worked with the owner to plan the event, and she was such a sweetheart--so flexible with the menu and helped create an amazing spread of food. The charcuterie board was absolutely spectacular, and the food was presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. We had around 30-40 people, and everyone was seated comfortably and set the mood with the cozy fireplace background on the TVs. It was truly a perfect night. Thank you so much! read more

Pooch’s Pour House - Thank you Maria! - Pubs Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

I've been a bunch of times. It's always way too bright in here. Like 2am get the hell out of the bar bright. I don't quite understand that. That being said, it's very nice inside, great service, friendly staff, decent food. I just wish they would dim the lights a bit and create a better more relaxing atmosphere. read more

Service was great, ambiance and music good, the food was mediocre and overpriced for what it was.

Ate lunch here today food was very good. We had appetizer of arancini which was delicious and the sauce under it was perfect. I had a chicken parm sandiwxh which was really good. My wife and daughter split a spicy chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. Fries were hot and crispy. Had a spicy Bloody Mary and it was really good as well. Overall enjoyed our lunch. Service was a bit slower for us but they had a large party upstairs. read more

Fun atmosphere, good food and great service. Have been several times since it opened and I recommend this establishment.

I'm usually the guy that loves any bar and just likes being out and chilling. This bar had a cool vibe and ambiance. They definitely put some quality work into fixing it up and making it look modern but old fashioned at the same time. I ordered one beer and it might have been the first beer I've ever ordered and not liked. It was a weird beer and there were stuff in the bottom. It was 10 dollars for one beer and it wasn't even strong. The chicken sandwiches were approaching 20 dollars and weren't anything special or crazy big. The service was good and the bartenders were nice. Giving three stars only because owner was nice and cool renovation. read more

I stopped by this restaurant as part of the RI Food Fights Burger Blowout. It was a typical bar setting with plenty of space to sit. I sat at the bar and got the Pooch's Burger with a side of fries. The burger was pretty good. The bartender was friendly and attentive. I ended up getting their M&M ice cream sandwich and it was delicious, but too big for me to finish! Overall very happy and would recommend. read more

Pooch's will not make you Poor! This is a reasonably priced three floor burgers n brew establishment. I especially loved their wings. The owners know their market and what the people want. An impressive beer and wine cellar plus any adult beverage you can name. The noise factor might seem right up there, until you suddenly realize that you're one of the noise makers! Warm and Fun! read more

Great new spot in downtown westerly. Service was very friendly and prompt. We got the wings, mozzarella sticks and some sandwiches. Everything was excellent. Will be back! read more

Great service, great food!!! Owners on site!!! They make sure all is operating smoothly! The night we were there they hosted the basketball team for free food!!! Great that they give back!!! read more

So many negative things to say it's not worth all the typing. Wait time was unacceptable, food quality was very poor as was the quantity. A $14 cocktail was served in a rocks glass only 1/3 filled. Smoke from the smokers outside the door filled the restaurant so if you can't handle the smell of smoke don't go! Although the waitress was nice the gentleman I spoke to about the service had no customer service skills and argued with everything I said. He refused to take my sandwich off the bill after waiting 1 hour 20 minutes, then served a flatbread instead of a sandwich. Within five minutes I had the sandwich overcooked under a broiler. He told me everyone else waited an hour and a half as well. I was no different. He wished he could do something but he couldn't. (Wow!) i am a big supporter of local businesses and I eat out up to four times/week and this is only the second negative review I've ever made! Lots of other great restaurants in Westerly to go to. Don't waste your money here. read more

Pooch’s Pour House - Over cooked steak and cheese sub - Pubs Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

So, for full disclosure, we are Malted Barley aficionados. We finally decided to give Pooch's a try. Positives: nice additions to the dinning room. Lots of TV's to watch the games. Kept the tap system from Malted and have a great draft menu. Calamari was delicious. A little chewy; however great flavor, good marinara, tentacles that I love and delicious spicy peppers. Negative: took over 19 minutes for the bartender to acknowledge that we were even seated at the bar (and it was not busy), after our beers were empty and our appetizer taken away still no ask if we wanted to order a meal or another drink. Granted it was a shift change, however from someone who knows about the back of a bar, it is no excuse. Finally after almost 30 minutes waiting, we asked for the check from the new bartender. We left and drove a long way to our standby- The Mews in SK. They know how to tend to their customers. We are not giving up on Pooch's, we will be back and hopefully, the bartenders will be better at surveying the bar and knowing how to tend to EVERYONE. read more

Great place. Great food. And the best margaritas! Such a cool spot. Everyone is so friendly.

I hosted my husband's 40th surprise birthday at Pooches last weekend and it went off without a hitch. The 3rd floor is the perfect space for a private event; a private bar and restrooms included. The staff was exceptional from the pre-party planning to the service execution. The food was pretty damn good too. I look forward to many more visits and parties in the future. Thank you! read more
