    I recently moved to the area and decided to give West Passage Brewing a try on a busy Saturday night. The place was packed, which is always a good sign. Our server was excellent. She was friendly, engaging and patient with all of my questions. She even checked with the chef on a few things to accommodate my food allergies, which I truly appreciated. I didn't catch her name at the time, but my receipt says Carrie Ann - thank you for such great service! I had a delicious cocktail (even though the beer menu looked great too). The food is classic pub-style with a lot of fried options. My burger was really good and came on a nice gluten-free roll and my side salad was also fresh and tasty. Overall, I loved the theme and decor and had a great first experience. I'll definitely be back.

    Been here a couple times and always pleased with the beer and service for sure. It's also really nice to have a brewery that also serves food open up at 11am! The layout and bar is also really nice!

    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!

    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

    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!

    West Passage is clearly dedicating its efforts to brewing as it has some tasty beers. The food is mid and overpriced for the quality.

I got a seasonal latte while my partner got the medium-roast pourover coffee. Having had a hard time finding really great coffee recently, we were soooo impressed. They clearly take their coffee program seriously (and now I realize the name should have tipped me off!). The food was equally impressive. It legitimately didn't have to be as good as it was (lol). The yogurt bowl on any menu is usually "meh," but we gave it a try since we wanted some non-meat protein and I am SO glad we did. It was the best yogurt bowl I've ever had- no contest. The whole milk yogurt was creamy; the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries were ripe; the honey and granola added crunch and some floral sweetness; and the best part was the raspberry preserves they pipe on top. I wish I could recreate this at home! We also loved the lemon poppyseed loaf with blueberry preserves and cream. Another quick brunch addition that could have been simple, but had so much thought put into the flavors. Overall, a big fan and I'll be back!

We asked to sit outside and were stunned by the epic views of the docks that they have. It truly was a breathtaking sight. My only gripe was that it wasn't as shaded (either naturally or by awnings) as I thought it would be which made for a warm experience. However, the staff were great about accommodating any requests to move with some of the available tables they did have. Also, though no fault of their own I kept getting some septic smells in the breeze. It was faint and not all the time but definitely not something you want while having lunch- hopefully whichever business owner or home owner having that issue can get that cleared up. Our waitress was very friendly, attentive but not overbearing, and made sure we were well taken care of. I ordered the fish and chips. Our food came out quickly and everything looked good! Their mango coleslaw is unique but tasty. The fish was nice and flaky with a crispy batter. I found it to be a little greasy but nothing too worrying. Overall, a great meal to have by the water.
