    Great atmosphere. The location is beautiful. TV's to watch some sports. Great beer variety and full bar as well! Service was great. Friendly and attentive. Food was great. Nachos for an appetizer were delicious. Beer flight has a great variety to choose from. Burger and "RI red" chicken sandwich were great. Fries were hot and fresh. Overall would absolutely recommend on all fronts!

    French dip

    Stopped in after a soccer game right up the road due to their convenient location. Facility was beautiful, bright and clean. We were promptly greeted and told we could sit anywhere since it was fairly quiet. Had a couple beers to start and they were on point for a place like this. The clam digger stout was my personal favorite as I'm pretty picky about my IPAs/hazies. It was nice to see a beer menu with some variety. Food was decent enough to complement the beer. I had the French dip. Beef was a little dry but had a nice au jus to reconstitute it. Wife had the nachos which were average and daughter had a chicken Caesar salad that was nice and crisp. Staff were friendly and attentive which made for an enjoyable experience!!

    I had a pleasant evening with two beers, a plate of fried pickle and some wifi to finish off the day. The staff probably thought it was odd that I wanted to sit in a quiet space but hey, that's me. They opened up a second dining room and I enjoyed the peace and quiet with my laptop. The beers? Delicious. The fried pickles? Tasty but I'd suggest smaller pieces. The staff? Friendly! Definitely a worthy spot! Parking can be a challenge on a busy weeknight. I lucked out with what could have been the last open spot in the lot. Other folks were circling for a while. [Review 18653 overall - 73 in Rhode Island - 2175 of 2022.]

    I was a bit hesitant to choose West Passage for a get-together with friends last night when I found out they didn't take reservations. Having 10 adults and 2 children at 6:30pm was a gamble, but they accommodated us right away. Food: We loved everything (pics posted), but the Gould Island Cheese Steak is a must-try. Drinks: The only complaint I have is the Scotch selection, they don't carry the typical ones like Macallan or Dewers. Balvenie was available, but you may prefer Jameson or one of their bourbons instead. Seating: There are high top tables and regular tables in the dining area, as well as a spacious bar and a ladies and men's room near the entrance. For functions, there is also a room to the right when entering. Service: Becca, our server, provided excellent service. I found her to be extremely attentive and friendly. Having frequented Gillians for years, it was sad to know this staple of North Kingstown was no longer there, but West Passage Brewery has renovated this establishment serving great food and excellent service for us. We look forward to making new memories there in the future.

    Peanut Butter Whiskey steak burger with fries.
    Lynn W.

    Be patient, but the beer and food are definitely worth it. We arrived just after 6 p.m. on a Saturday night (without a reservation) and the rooms were packed. We grabbed a high-top table in the smaller room and took a look at the beer and food menu on our phones as we waited to be served. The wait staff were clearly short-handed but the owner was extremely helpful and friendly. It was our first time at West Passage, so I wanted to try a flight of the darker beers so I had Full Keel Brown Ale, Accidental Red Lager, Deliberate Porter, and Clam Digger's Stout. All were very good. For dinner, we enjoyed the nachos as an appetizer and then burgers and fries. I tried out the Peanut Butter Whiskey steak burger and ended up taking half of it home because it was so filling. The peanut butter whiskey glaze might sound a little weird but paired with a raspberry sauce, onions, candied bacon, along with cheddar cheese and lettuce - it was delish! My only negative was that it took a long time for our drink order to be taken and for the food to arrive. But, as I said the wait was worth it.

    Pina-rita w/ rum
    Holly W.

    It's the old Gillian's! and looks nothing like how it did. I only went once and it was dark with old decor. Actually, a dive bar at that. This place has a lot of light and modern decor. They accept reservation for large groups. Scott answered our call, was super friendly and easily made our reservation. FYI- they have been open for 6 months. We get to West passage and were seated immediately. We actually had our own room with a large TV showing college football. There were 7 of us. Scott came to say hi and low and behold he is the owner! Chatted it up with us then invited us to tour the brew area. Heck yeah we followed him. He broke every step down in the brew process. This guy is thorough and passionate. The brewery is immaculately clean! Really impressed. I shared food so I got to try a few things. Here is my pecking order of what I had in order of favorite: 1. Peanut butter whiskey burger-raspberry on a burger? No I am not going to like it... or I am! yes I am! It was the perfect balance of raspberry to all the other flavors happening here and it was delicious! 2. The med- This fig pizza is made like any other regular pizza where fig is spread like red sauce, with the fixing under the cheese and it was loaded with goodness. Maybe a little too much greens on top but loved the excessive nature of this pizza. 3. Chipotle BBQ wings- Decent flavor, plenty of sauce just wish the sauce was cooked into it a little more. 4. Tri-tip street tacos- lacked a bit of flavor. But their nachos served with them were super salty and crispy. Are these house made? Either way they were good. I ordered a girly drink. It was on the menu as a coconut/pineapple margarita but I swapped tequila for rum. Good size. Great flavor and first time I had ever had a coconut rimmed glass. Coconut was everywhere! Everyone else had beer. The reviews were good beer but can taste that it was fresh brewed. Need a little more age. I wish this brewery well and I plan to make a return. Best wishes Scott!

    Great local place to eat/drink! I got the pina-rita margarita and it was delicious! Loved the sirloin tacos. Very cute and clean interior! Highly recommend

    Chicken Tacos
    Jacquelyn O.

    Located in North Kingston, RI is this old motel turned brewery. With a fun atmosphere and friendly staff this is a must stop if you are in the area. With a great selection of beers and hard seltzer including their own, this is a great place to spend the afternoon. I high a flight of hard seltzers, I couldn't pick just one. My husband had a Headless Horseman beer. For an appetizer we had pretzels and beer cheese, yum. For our main meal, my daughter had a burger, my husband had a Ruben and I had chicken tacos. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food. We would absolutely stop here again.

    Jalapeño poppers! Yumm!
    Brittaney T.

    This place was so stunning inside. We were greeted immediately and were given a sharing size table. We ordered drinks, my husband raves about the two he got. For an appetizer we originally got the beer cheese dip but something went wrong with it so our waitress quickly let us know and we switched to the poppers! They were delicious and definitely not spicy! For an entree I got the cowboy burger which was delicious, the pickle was perfectly fresh, and the fries were just like I like them well done and crispy! We can't wait to go back!

    We went on a Monday night for dinner. The beer was very good, but the kitchen was out of steak and pork, severely limiting our options.

My partner and I grabbed seats at the bar and immediately felt like regulars thanks to Kelsi. She was so friendly, knew so many people by name, and somehow kept everyone's coffee topped off like a pro. Truly unlimited hot coffee, which is appreciated. The whole place was decked out for St. Patrick's Day and it added such a festive, welcoming vibe. I also loved hearing that they switch up seasonal menu items every few weeks. The staff really leans into it, which makes it feel fresh and fun every time you visit. I ordered a gluten free Johnnycake topped with poached eggs, sausage, and hollandaise, plus home fries. Everything was spot on. Great portions, great flavor, and honestly no need to reach for salt, pepper, or ketchup which says a lot. We both ended up taking leftovers because we were so full. Bonus points for Kelsi sending me out with a to-go cup for my salted caramel iced coffee. Little touches like that go a long way. Also, fun fact, they offer a discount if you pay cash. Already looking forward to going back. Thank you!

Wickford on the Water has a prime spot with water views from their deck and side windows. In summer this place if full most days due to it's location. Recently we stopped in for lunch. The street side of the building is a dining room, while the water side is a bar area with bar seating and high top tables. Single men's and women's rooms are in the hallway connecting the two spaces. Wait to be seated by the hostess. On our visit, the hostess sent us down the hall to 'see Angelo' in the bar as the dining room was full. Angelo let us pick a table and brought menus. We placed our drink order and spent a good deal of time looking over the menu. Angelo was patient and gave us plenty of time to decide. Their website has options for ordering pick-up or delivery through door dash where you can view those menu options, but not 'just the menu' as a stand alone page to preview. It was a sunny, cold day and I decided on the short rib shepherds pie and a side salad. The salad arrived first. It was very lightly dressed with fresh lettuce and brittle croutons. The shepherds pie arrived in a casserole, hot from the oven with cheese melted over the potatoes. My first bite was potatoes. They were tasty enough with the melted cheese on top. No need for salt or other seasonings. My second bite had a mere hint of meat in an oily sauce under all those potatoes. After eating a quarter of the dish and finding very little short rib, I began to move the potato out of the way to access the meat. This revealed an inconsistent, thin film of meat at the bottom of the bowl. I do love potatoes, and these were tasty, however, for that price, I expect more protein. The restaurant was quiet during our visit. They have a nice mix of relaxing, current music playing in the background. The restaurant and restroom were clean. Deck dining and bar, in warmer weather, is a nice option and the menu offers a variety of food choices from apps to entrees. Staff are competent. Parking is on-street and in the local public lot nearby.
