For me the selection was great as they had lots of local beers. The make pretzel sandwiches so that while selection of food is limited it was good. There was music while we were ther and the bartender was knowledgable and he and other patrons were quite friendly.

Great place run by some terrific young professionals. Love the fact that most beers are New England regional. The "Gnarly Barley" attracts a large and diverse crowd but has a mostly young and hip vibe.There’s a strong and quite large draught list, however, it feels like they try to hard to offer unique offerings. Maybe I’m too old school, but I felt like there were too many beers with fruit additives and too many uber strong IPAs and doppel bocks. The food is delicious, home made, but somewhat limited. I will be back!

All they serve is pretzels, but oh those pretzels. Best selection of beer in Southern part of the state.

Finally, a beer bar with people who know what they are talking about! This family owned establishment is in the heart of Westerly’s shopping and dining district. They have almost 40 taps that mainly consist of US micros, but from the East and West Coast. Ambiance is really nice, wide open with plenty of space to mingle if you can’t get a seat at their enormous bar. They also have a patio and downstairs area with fooseball tables. The owners are always there and happy to answer questions and make recommendations. Instead of pitchers they have mini-barrels with spouts on them for your table. Prices are really competitive. The only reason I gave them a lower food rating was because they only serve home made pretzels, but they are fantastic. Highly recommended.

Nice to see another very solid beer bar open in Rhode Island. They have a good diverse, selection of craft brews, both regional and international. Service was prompt and quick. Offer pretzels as food. Beer was served at the proper temp and in appropriate glassware (love the tulip glass!). They also offer 2oz sample pours of all their beers, which I appreciate. The ambiance is solid. Definitely the beer spot to hit in Westerly.
