8 Best Cocktail Bars near Wakefield

“Just freaking lovely... This all started 2+ years ago during another of our frequent visits (from MD) when a local former fisherman we met post brunch at the Mews (?) told us Phil's is the place to try next time and it doesn't get much better with honest food and authentic staff.... Thank you, Charlie - we finally heeded your advice today and couldn't be happier we broke our fast here. It was busy and a bit hectic when we arrived around 11AM on a Saturday, but we were sat pretty quickly and placed drink and food orders within 10 ish minutes of getting seated. It's Saturday - we weren't in a rush, the people watching superb, and the eventual waitress charming and very competent. Veggie omelette and the Rhody Wrap we're delicious - so were the SPICY Bloody Marys that came garnished with the freshest little heirloom cherry tomato. Subsequent Irish Coldbrew and Mimosa were just as nice. The kitchen is open and to get to see the team churn through a mountain of orders ( take out was hopping as well while the restaurant was full) while smiling at each other, working in unison, precisely, efficiently and collaboratively was pretty cool. We loved this place. The food, the atmosphere and the service. It delivers like a classic diner, but is so much more. Thank you to all that handled service today 12/30/23 - y'all are rockstars and thank you for making us feel welcome for a little while! We'll be back.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free bread and vegetarian omelettes“

“If the sea is ever calling for you, go to the coast guard house. If you are hankering for a beautiful seafood dinner, go to the coast guard house. If you want to feel the beauty and the grandeur of old Rhode Island in one experience, go to the coast guard house. It is a sea lovers love song ?“

“My parents and I had lunch here last week and loved the ambiance. The decor was fun and quirky, but warm. The food was delicious and the service was great. The only reason that I am giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is that the menu is limited for vegetarians. They did have a veggie dog option, so I had a kimchi dog and it was great. My dad had the gabagool sandwich and said it was delicious and filling, and my mom had the grilled cheese. We shared a basket of fries, which was large enough for the three of us. The fries were a bit overdone, but still pretty tasty. We will definitely go back, but would love to see a few more vegetarian options next time.“

“We stopped by this place while we were visiting Rhode Island and so glad we did. They have parking on property and we were seated promptly as soon as we walked in. They have plenty of gluten free options to course from and are flexible in switch out things to make a dish gluten free. My husband got the salmon crab cake duet and I got the shortrib, both were delicious. The ambience is casual and matching the name is a cute coastal cabin indeed. I got a mango margarita and my only complaint is that it was too sweet for my liking so if you like sweet drinks this is a great choice .Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.“

“Tasty Thai takeout! I'd like to eat there next time since the ambiance was so nice. The beef teriyaki and sticky rice were super flavorful and nicely done. The soup was classic and hot, and my favorite item was the fried pork gyoza which was crispy and the dipping sauce was perfect with it. I'd recommend this place to anybody looking for Thai food in the area.“

“A very pleasant surprise find after a tulip picking outing in Exeter. The food was nuanced and flavourful. We had the shaved veg salad and pork nachos for appetizers. Tasty dressings and great variety of textures and flavors. The Thai style fried rice was beautifully seasoned. You knew from the mound of perfectly crispy fried basil on top that the chef cared about serving delicious food that hits all the right notes. The texture of the beef rib was soft and juicy. The black bean burger was good and the fish and chips were huge and well cooked. The key lime pie and lava cake were not overly sweet and flavorful. Prices were a bit higher than I expected for being outside a city but you could easily pay the same prices for mediocre or worse food in Boston or Providence. Additionally, we loved all the Jamaican music. Great random find!“

“We had a welcome party at the sons of liberty brewery for our wedding weekend. This brewery surpassed our expectations. We reserved one of their event rooms and were amazed by the space. The space included a large bar as well as many places to sit, stand, and even play pool. All of our guests told us how amazing of a time they had here. The drinks were delicious and the service was top notch. The owner also made us feel so welcome and taken care of. We have endless amazing things to say about this place. Make sure to give it a visit!!“

“Absolutely love TwoTen Oyster Bar in RI! It's our go-to for fresh seafood and the vibe is unbeatable. Oysters are always spot-on, and the view? Can't beat it. Staff is friendly and knows their stuff. A real local gem where every visit feels special. A must in Rhode Island!“
