3 months agoFood was delicious. Hot, rich, thick and quick. Fries were crispy but not overdone, just right. Fish tacos were fresh delicious. Calamari crispy but not overdone. Well worth the trip. They offer the best vodka,Lukosowa. Potato vodka the way it was intended to be. And Sarah the bartender on Saturday knows her job and is very good at what she does.

month agoCaught the Led Zep tribute band here tonight. OUTSTANDING. As I walked out onto the balcony over the sea, I couldnt help think that the authorities will not keep something so beautiful going on for so long. Its their job. Destroy pleasure. This place is nuts good. Get there before its gone. An institution. Don't walk, just run to get there.

year agoGreat beachside bar. We had breakfast. Good food. Husband loved his coffee with love. I ordered a mimosa. It was served in a glass full of ice. Wasn't a fan of that so I know not to order next time. Awesome staff and great views
Steve Thompson
10 months agoOne of the best music venues on the east coast! And right on the water looking at the waves 👍 The bands are incredible and the stage and venue has such a great vibe. One of a kind for sure. Food is great too, and the staff works hard while being friendly. Best place to come watch live music. Love the Elovators, Ravers, Dudemanbro, the DMB tribute band, yacht rock, and Red Not Chili Peppers. A must see experience in Rhode Island. The beach is right there with the deck outside. Sunday Fundays are a blast and the breakfast sandwich is really good and filling too! Great surfing here too when the conditions are right or a storm comes through.

5 months agoTHE best beach dive bar anywhere and worth the drive from everywhere. You will immediately feel like a local (who also go there regularly). This place attracts a wide mix of people, ages and demographics. The food is surprisingly excellent. The breakfast omelets are HUGE. Burgers, delicious. And the beer and drinks are excellent and generous. They have live bands (some national acts) and it was awesome to see so many people, young, old and in-between bobbing, dancing and just having fun in the layed back atmosphere. You simply gotta go and experience it for yourself. And the view... sweet!

4 months agoThe homemade veggie cream cheese is delicious! Everything else was too! Actually 5 stars all around. Yes, seating is not really accessible though.
Chip Samson
6 months agoCoolest bar! Location right at (and even over) the ocean is unbelievable. Food was great. Drinks were poured wonderfully. Servers and bartenders are spectacular. Great post Christmas hangout with family and friends!

month agoI checked out this incredible beachside hangout during my coastal travels and it easily became one of the highlights of my trip. The location is absolutely unmatched, with the outdoor deck sitting right over the breaking waves so you can enjoy the ocean breeze while you relax. I ordered a cold beer and some of their classic pub food, and everything tasted fantastic while listening to the live music playing inside. The crowd had an awesome, high-energy vibe, and the staff was fast and friendly despite how busy the place got as the sun went down. It is the ultimate spot to experience a lively, authentic beach bar atmosphere right on the water.

6 months agoThe Ocean Mist has always been our favorite beach bar, so hosting a welcome party there on our wedding weekend seemed like a no-brainer. Pat and the rest of the Ocean Mist team was an absolute pleasure to work with, accommodating every request and providing our guests with a true taste of Rhode Island fun as everyone arrived the night before our big celebration. Whether you're looking for a delicious cocktail after a day on the beach, a nice meal with the best ocean view in Rhode Island, a night of live music or a space to host your own special party, you can't go wrong with the Ocean Mist. This place is as special as they get.
