Some of the best food and hospitality in Rhode Island that's where me and my wife hang out every summer, when were there. We love the speakeasy and it's laidback. Vibe prices are great food, is phenomenal. We love their stuffies. They're the best on the East Coast.
If I could leave 0 stars I would. I traveled half way across the country to be disrespect. I had an emergency bathroom requirement and was told I couldn't use their restroom unless I was a paying customer. I then offered to buy a drink just to emergency use the restroom. This still wasn't good enough. 0 stars and anyone going to this place should be ashamed of themselves for supporting such an establishment.

Was part of the experience where they wouldn't let a middle age woman, who was well dressed and needed emergency restroom to use their bathroom. Unbelievable

Unacceptable experience. The staff was RUDE and I experienced RACIST behavior during my visit. I felt completely unwelcome and disrespected. I don’t recommend this place to anyone who values inclusivity or respectful service.

We had a terrible experience with the service during our visit. Although the restaurant was nearly empty, we were not allowed to sit at a high-top table for drinks and appetizers — we were told those were reserved for dinner service only. When we tried to sit at the bar instead, we were told we couldn’t because one member of our group — who is pregnant and not drinking — didn’t have her ID. Rather than offering a solution or trying to accommodate us in a clearly not-busy space, the staff came across as dismissive and unhelpful. The inconsistent policies and the way we were treated felt discriminatory and unwelcoming.

Unfortunately, my family and I had a very disappointing experience here. We ended up leaving before we were even served due to the poor customer service. Instead of trying to resolve a simple problem, the owner was dismissive and even a bit catty, which only escalated the situation unnecessarily. On a busy Saturday, this was by far the emptiest restaurant by the port — and now I understand why.

BIG BARTNEDER WITH GLASSES IS THE WORST AND MAKES THIS PLACE AWFUL. I SHOULD NOT FEEL LIKE IM GOING TO GET ASSULTED BY THIS GUY? HE SHOULD BE FIRED FOR YELLING AT THE CUSTOMERS. WHAT A JERK

It’s not a speakeasy. It’s a crappy bar with subpar cocktails.

The bartender with the large beard and glasses made my friends and I feel pretty uncomfortable.. We had just sat down and were calmly enjoying our drinks chatting quietly, when he suddenly began yelling at us for no apparent reason. He accused us of planning to record him and post it on TikTok… despite the fact that our phones weren’t even out, and we hadn’t said or done anything disruptive..
We were sober, respectful and trying to enjoy a relaxing evening on vacation for my best friend’s bachelorette. His outburst felt unprovoked and left us feeling anxious and confused. It was a negative experience so we ended up leaving almost immediately without finishing our drinks. :( sad

The older bartender with the glasses and beard who has many negative reviews made me and my friends so uncomfortable. First at the bar I was standing there waiting to order smiling and he mocked me for smiling at him and then walked away. I was served by someone else and sat outside with my friends on the patio. He then came out and screamed at my friend for her to put her vape away. She said ok sorry I will put it away no problem. He then loudly said to the person next to him that he was going to start a fight with us (a group of young women just trying to have a good time) and started yelling across the patio heckling us for like 5 minutes. We eventually left because he made us so uncomfortable!!!!
