This past weekend, a celebration of life for my mother was held at Pooch's and everything was…read moreincredible! 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!

The Reese's martini taste just like Reese's pieces! It's dangerously good. Raspberry Lemonade was…read moreokay. The lemonade could've been better but tastes like a generic brand from the store. A nice homemade lemonade would've changed the drink drastically. Hot chocolate just taste like Swiss Miss packet with a stale cookie stick from two holidays ago. Food is mediocre at best. Olive tapenade is a classic. The grilled cheese is okay...it's grilled cheese and very overpriced. The decor is cozy and cool vibe. Very chill. Reminds me of the Friends comedy show decor. Establishment is very clean. Every time we needed something we had to go up to the bar to order and get help. I wish they had an actual person walk around to take orders. Service was pretty slow. It is a nice place to chill for drinks.

We stopped by for a quick snack of oysters and clams and a beer. We were very happy with our selections and choices available.

The River Bar in Westerly is the kind of place that instantly wins you over--equal parts stylish,…read morewelcoming, and delicious, with a happy hour that feels like a local secret you can't help but share. 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

Back when I lived in Astoria, Queens my buddies and I had a few regular spots that had specials on…read moreweeknights for wings, burgers, and steaks. We affectionately termed these "discount meat nights." The Cafe's $10 burger and fries on Monday nights is easily the best Discount Meat Night deal around in 2026. Don't get me wrong, I still love High Hope's $20 smash burger and beer on Wednesdays, but The Cafe's killer au poivre burger and fries for $10 is just a monster deal. The cost-taste ratio is off the charts. It was tough to get a good picture of the burger in the vibey bar room, but check out their Instagram for some drool worthy shots: @thecaferi

Visited for dinner without reservation after nearby troll trip. Enjoyed the ambience of the…read morerestaurant. It was yakitori night so we started with some chicken and pork belly. Took a while to arrive. The pork belly was exquisitely rendered with beautifully charred skin and tender meat. Lobster roll served warm was very good, the lobster was a little overcooked but still a highlight. Buttermilk Fried Chicken had super crisp skin and was executed and presented perfectly, great tasting together with the accompanied pickled vegetables and hot-honey butter. The best dish of the night. Sticky toffee pudding was as good as advertised: sticky, textured, with interesting mouthfeel offset by lightly whipped cream. Tequila based El Mariachi was tasty and balanced but not memorable.

The bar does not care about safety. My friend was drugged there. We attempted to contact them twice…read moreto get help to start filing a police report. On the second call a bartender answered and refused to provide the managers name, a way to contact the manager, or information about the bartender on shift. They accused me of blaming the bartender, which I clarified multiple times I did not. They hung up because they were too busy. I called on a week day around noon, so it is unlikely they were busy as on weekends there is barely anyone there. I had to make a post on Facebook to be acknowledged by the owner. When the post was made the official bar account blamed my friend and told her to take accountability and watch her drink. The post got attention of the local community and 5 other women have come forward saying they had a similar experience. My friend is traumatized by the way they chose to handle the situation. Don't drink here, if something happens they will blame you and refuse to assist in any manner. Food is disgusting and the whole place smells like a septic leak, you aren't missing much by avoiding this place. Keep yourself safe.
