“We were vacationing in Newport from Wisconsin and stopped in at Cappy’s. Sue the bartender was friendly and a wonderful bartender. The owner Joe, what can I say….what a guy! Joe saw us walking to our Airbnb and yelled at us on the street asking when we were headed back home. Joe is a gem of a bartender. He has a gift of gab and can hand out the bs too. Nice local establishment with friendly customers and bartenders. We had Dan as a bartender too and he was a friendly, great guy! This place reminds us of our local pub at home where everybody knows your name. Thank you for your great hospitality! It made our vacation so much more enjoyable. Thank you!! LuAnn & Steve“

“Very disappointed. My husband says try again on a weekend day. Went Monday 4pm. Food was terrible. Fish was completely dried out. Shrimp cocktail was slimy and sour. Good service. Lovely view. However won't be back“

“Went here for drinks to kill time until our Bodhi Spa appointment just down the street. Our waiter was extremely friendly, courteous and helpful. Drinks were made perfectly. Small place but did not feel crowded. Great atmosphere and patrons.“

“Wow ! Just Wow! Bursts of flavor on point every time! My husband is the burger guy , he loves it! My palate goes a little deeper ...... Last night I had one of my favorite small hot plates ; mussels topped with fries . The cream sauce is delicious and compliments the mussels so well. I usually stick with fish throughout but tonight I had the Butternut squash and goat cheese flatbread . The combination juts fits with soft center and crispy edges. I honestly could have eaten more apps and dinner because I could anticipate the flavors of each dish. in the past I've tried the duck , pork, shortribs ,pasta and many hot and cold apps. The presentatation is always eye pleasing . The combination of flavors are always on point. Love it there! I highly recommend Rivival Craft Kitchen and Bar. It's a 10 in my book of favorite restaurants. Karen Greene“

“My dad and I went to Jack’s Family Restaurant this weekend. My dad and I live in Pennsylvania, but with recent family events we’ve found ourselves in Rhode Island a few times within the last month. My dad said Jack’s looked “the same as it always did,” and he smiled the entire time. We ordered the little necks casino, clam cakes, clam chowder, and seafood zuppa (and we splurged and got the lobster). Everything was great! We thank the staff and chefs for a wonderful experience. Everyone was kind. The food was delicious, and quickly delivered to us to be devoured. We had a wonderful experience & will definitely be back. ❤️☺️“

“When I first moved to Bristol, the Kinsmen immediately became my favorite spot. The staff truly goes out of their way to make you feel at home and you never run into the obnoxious college kids you may run into at other local bars. Cheap drinks, big screen TVs, jukebox, Keno and cheap pool tables are just the beginning of what the Kinsmen has to offer. They host different leagues depending on the season and often have buffets for different events. A step above your quintessential small town watering hole.“

“My review of Narragansett Cafe as a customer. Great place, great people, great food, great service, just great. Not Tony the Tiger great but actually great. The Ganny was awesome the atmosphere was such just a chill, local, welcoming, vibe. Everyone from bankers to bikers and all just having a good time. It was such an awesome break from the BS of everyday life. The Food was outstanding, as a fat guy I highly recommend the French dip! The staff was awesome, friendly, fun. We had a great time.

My reviews of Narragansett Cafe as a performer, what an awesome place to perform, there isn't a bad seat in the house, awesome stage to be on. The crowd was amazing, just a group of regular people sharing a good time and loving it.

I will be back, we will be back, the Ganny is just an all around awesome time. If you have been there pick a night, grab some friends and go and you won't be disappointed.“

“great local spot to get together with old and new friends“

“Places like this are a real treasure. No pretenses -- just a great vibe, excellent drinks, and a bar man Joe who has found his calling in hospitality. We attended a vow renewal for family and Joe takes it very seriously with the highest intentions and kindness. This place has legit charm.“

“steak mashed potatoes and broccolini....blueberry lemonade so good!“

“cheap drinks, great staff!“
