This place is the definition of a beach bar. It literally could not be more on the beach....the views are spectacular and of course there is sand everywhere. Shirt and shoes are definitely optional! You really can't get any more beachy than this. We were there on a beautiful summer afternoon with highs in the 80s. Fortunately we were able to get a table under the tent which provided us with shade but still allowed a nice view and a refreshing breeze. Service was friendly and fairly efficient (although the salad was a little slow in coming out). We had bang bang shrimp and some shrimp tacos, along with a really tasty watermelon and feta salad. We didn't have any alcoholic drinks but based on the menu and what I saw going by on trays, if you want a little booze by the water, you will not be disappointed. The food was tasty and I thought the prices were reasonable. The only downside was the men's bathroom. That was rough on many fronts. I haven't been that traumatized by a bathroom since seeing the Grateful Dead at RFK Stadium during the early 90s. Restroom aside, this seems like a decent place with a great vibe and I would guess that it's a favorite of the locals since everyone seemed to know one another. If you want a nice meal by the beach, this is your place. read more

Stopped in here for dinner with my favorite ladies on our long weekend and I've got to say, we were in love with this spot. We called ahead for a rezzie and were sat immediately when we arrived. We decided to split a drinks pitcher, and can confirm the summer drinks menu they have is on point. The stuffies are super flavorful and I wish I had ordered more. I decided to go with a whole lobster and 10/10 would recommend. The lobster meat was delish and perfect and I would eat this daily if I could. We split dessert between us and it was altogether a perfect outdoor dining experience. read more

Andrea's is a great spot for a bite right on misquamicut beach! I had to get a lobster roll here after a full day at the beach. My lobster roll was soo good despite the price, but you're paying for the view too I suppose. I wish we could've "swapped" out the potato chips for the fries for an up-charge, but we had to get the fries as a side. Their fries are great though!! Kind and quick service. We didn't have a reservation, but waited about 10 minutes for two people on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Our server was sweet, informative, upbeat and super attentive. We tried some of their specials for the day and oh my the brussel sprout salad was amazing-the fish and chips were delicious-and the lobster was to die for. Everything we ate was amazing. The view was amazing. read more

Always great food here at the Andrea in westerly. What changes reviews from time to time is some of the wait staff they hire don't seem to care , some are young kids earning summer money. Write things down when customers tell you there order give it to the kitchen and bring it out. Often I when I'm there they forget something. Some of the waitstaff are busy chatting with other staff members and don't pay attention to their tables , I waited 30m for an extra order of bread for my mussels and she brought it when the meal was done. read more

Andrea Beach Bar - S'mores so fun! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

I enjoyed my visit here. The service is friendly but not intrusive. When I needed ketchup or extra items, our waitress was responsive and kind. One needs to be flexible because a lot of things are sold out like the lobster dishes and chicken salad so if you are okay with limited options...thats something to take into account. I believe we had 30 minute wait which is reasonable but if you are hungry, it is best to arrive ahead. Our meal were simple, yet they arrived in big portions. We had pasta and linguine dishes. There's a kid menu and also tons of cocktails and beer & wine options! I liked the view since it's beautiful looking at the strong waves crashing and observing the sun setting in the far distance! I would recommend going to try this place especially if you have young kids or a baby and like a drink and a stunning view. It's definitely family friendly! Unless you are in a rush, totally make a reservation ahead of time, and do have some of the delicious meals! So yummy! read more

First off the location is beautiful. Right on the beach. Great spot for people watching and taking in the ocean. A large event tent is set up so you can sit inside and enjoy yourself without being blasted by the wind. Our server was kind and attentive. And all our orders arrived quickly. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The star of the show was the hot lobster roll. Perfectly toasted roll. Stuffed with tender perfectly cooked lobster. And a side of butter to drown away my sorrows. Might be the best lobster roll I've ever had. The lobster risotto was pricey and was the special of the day. But it had a ridiculous amount of lobster in it and was well worth the price tag. We went during shoulder season and I could definitely see this place being packed during the peak of the summer. I hope to come back next summer. read more

Casual dining on the beach! Everything that we have tried has been delicious. They also have great cocktails.

Had a wonderful experience at the Andrea weight. Staff was excellent food that I had was great, and the view of the waves was amazing.

Okay, so food, service, ambiance? Food is a solid 3.5-4. Great, no but certainly quite good. Not sure I'd return for the food alone. Service was quite nice, friendly attentive and polite as you would expect. Solid 4 stars. Now we come to ambience, 6 stars, if not more. This isn't a beachy restaurant, it's a beach restaurant, steps from the sand and surf of Westerly. The deck boasts a spectacular view of the ocean complete with tables and Adirondak chairs for pre or post dinner chilling. There's also a massive fireplace. My only complaint is that I wish it was wood burning as opposed to gas because it throws off very little heat and nights there, even during the peak of summer can get cold. Which brings me to my only tip: If you're heading there at night, bring a sweater, or a hoodie or perhaps a jacket. This is the kind of place that if didn't live three plus hours away, I would be at once a week if not more. Kudos. read more

The food was basic bar food, the service was good, but eating outside with the view of the ocean was amazing. It's one of those places to go to on a beautiful afternoon to enjoy the view. Inside was nothing to talk about. read more

Waitress was wonderful. The hostesses were not, they were borderline rude and so not accomodating on seating. Our menues blew off our table and they refused to seat us elswhere. The food was mediocre at best. Our chicken dish was burnt black on the bottom and they served it anyway. read more

Dined here over Labor Day weekend 2021, and the food was great! We had reservations on the patio around sunset, and it was such a relaxing vibe and the sky was so pretty. There was a fire place outside (wasn't lit, would've been nice if it was) that obstructs the sunset view, but regardless it was still great! I had the scallops with green beans and mashed potatoes and my date ordered the shrimp scampi- we each loved our dinners! We split a Mac n cheese which was just okay. Definitely needed some flavor or some shredded cheese, but it was okay. The drunken gummies were interesting, 4 bucks, why not... We ordered the s'mores for dessert, which was a nice interactive dessert that made the Andrea stand out. The ultimate mudslide was okay as well. There was a girl giving out samples of it and the sample was way better than when I ordered it. They have a free private parking lot and decent bathrooms. read more

Went to lunch with my wife and our son, his wife and two grands. Ate outside, able to se the ocean and on occasion hear the waves. Me and my wife are from San Antonio, Texas so this w a treat. Waiter was from Romania, so that was a treat. He was efficient, considerate and engaging, three of us ordered the lobster rolls. I have traveled frequently and my lobster roll was the best ever, even beating Boston (sorry). Son ordered a shrimp scampi, his favorite sea food. He said it was excellent. Clam chowders were super. Grands son ordered pasta marinara which he vacuumed quickly. I topped my meal with a chocolate toffee mousse cake..,unfortunately I had to share with others. Go now and try the lobster rolls!!! read more

Nicky and Devin were outstanding. They Were were friendly and accommodating We ordered the mussels which were fabulous. Loved the atmosphere. read more

Stopped in here for a late lunch. Not too busy but service was disappointing. Sat at bar, waited a bit for an opportunity to order a drink and then for it to be delivered. A big problem with bees! It happens, it's outside but it was troublesome. Other patrons hopping from table to bar to table. Nice spot on the water so you can't beat the view. read more

Great lunch outside. Clam chowder, Small Caesar salad with grilled chicken was way bigger than expected. Chicken salad sandwich with walnuts and cranberries was yummy! Fiddlehead IPA and strong with juice were awesome. Service from Vlad M was perfect. Friendly young man. Offered to get me an extra spoon to try my hubbys clam chowder. We shall return! read more

Four stars for Andrea's standing among the few beach-side options on Atlantic Ave, still a solid and consistent choice. We feel an almost imperceptible difference in quality, both food and service. We didn't recognize any of the staff this last trip. Server was OK. Mussels were bland with a couple tasting a bit off. The specialty fried asparagus were OK but oily and batter not clinging well. Charged $14 for an Aperol Spritz made with only club soda, and no Prosecco. (Ok, maybe an odd choice at a beach bar, that's on me.) Fried fish, sandwich and platter were both excellent as always. We've been coming here for many years, and cried when we saw the hotel destroyed during Sandy. We are so grateful the family continued the restaurant operation under the tent and we will always enjoy this beautiful location whenever we're at the beach. We just want it to stay as good as it always was. Fingers crossed. read more

Stopped by this restaurant for the first time based on the reviews. We were excited to try it out but our experience started off terrible when we were met with an impolite manager at the host stand, Grace. Upon arrival, we asked for a table by the water and she mentioned she couldn't sit us there although there was 5 tables available in the section. Her tone and attitude about it is what made the situation bad. Based on her tone and attitude, we felt like she just wanted to insert her authority for some reason when we just wanted to be sat to enjoy our meal. I even asked when the next reservation was coming in that way we can sit and be done in time when they arrive. She answered with an attitude saying right now. As we walked away to be sat somewhere else I watched her talk to the other hosts about us making it very uncomfortable. She was extremely rude and tried to go back and forth with me . She later sat walk ins in the section we requested. I HATE places with bad customer service so for that, I won't be returning or recommend to anyone that values customer service. read more

The food that we got was really good but it was basic stuff (a cheeseburger, chicken and fries for my children), and I got buffalo Mac and cheese with a side of fries. The fries are battered style which I love and the chicken was crispy crunchy fresh. The only thing is the waiter (who I tried to give the benefit of the doubt because he was a younger kid) forgot things we asked for/about us 3 different times. We just sat and sat. So service wise, I'd say that was slacking. The seating was good since we got seated near the edge and got an ocean view. read more

The Andrea is for sure one of my favorite beach bars in the Misquamicut area! I love that it is right on the beach, and in the summer they always have a live music lineup both during the day, and often at night! It's not officially summer until you grab a drink and an order of drunken gummies from the Andrea. We stopped in for a late lunch on Memorial Day weekend and to our surprise we actually were able to get a table; during peak season beware they usually have a wait! It's awesome that you can walk right in from the beach, and you can either sit inside or outside, but either way you can still feel the ocean breeze. We got several rounds of drinks, gummies as well as appetizers. They have some good frozen drinks but they are a bit pricey for what you get. I like that they change their menu around a bit from year to year but you can always depend on some staples such as the fried asparagus served with a cheese sauce or the calamari. They don't skimp on their hot lobster roll served on a buttery bun, it's one of my favorite dishes here. We also tried some bang bang shrimp and shrimp tacos which were very good and refreshing. I also tasted some clam fritters which were fried to perfection served with a tarter sauce. I can't wait to stop back in a few weeks! read more

Great atmosphere and views. Drinks are good. Food is Meh Got the following: Clam chowder: 3.5 stars, New England style. Creamy but light on the clams. Would order again - good flavor Lobster roll: 2 stars. Lots of lobster but it was dry. Lobster wasn't as fresh as I would like, especially overlooking the beach. Cole slaw was ok Would potentially come back for the atmosphere read more

Food was excellent, service great and ambience. Unreal. Great beachfront eating. Try the salmon it was delicious or the shrimps.

Now that's it's summertime, I'm constantly wanting to go to the beach. However, when I start thinking of being there and feeling like an ant in the middle of a colony of them, I change my mind. A friend of mine told me that she found this place and wanted me to go with her, so I did. Bingo!!!!! It's the perfect place to eat and be on the beach without the colony of ants!! The Andrea is an outdoor/ indoor restaurant/bar right on the beach away from the chaos of Misquamicut. You can eat under the tent or outside. We parked and were greeted by two extremely friendly people-Emily and Nate, who provided us with all of the valuable info about using the beach. It's $50 HOWEVER it includes parking ($20) and your own personal beach space (limit is four per space) for the day. Each space is spread out. You can reserve it ahead of time. The wait staff will take your orders for drinks/ food right on the beach. If you go after 2:00 and there is a space available you don't need to pay!! We tried the food. EXCELLENT!!! We shared Bang Bang Shrimp and Gouda Mac and Cheese bites. I especially liked the Bang Bang Shrimp that came in a large bowl and was filled with delicious shrimp with a sweet chili sauce. Our waiter turned us on to the Bang Bang Shrimp. That's Elias! You need to check this place out. Amazing. read more

Come here every year for dinner - kids like the food, chef makes a good menu, anything from burgers to lobster are great. Wait times can be long but it's a popular place at the beach so you gotta expect that. 4 out of 5-stars because I heard about the old days with breakfast buffets and some other customer loyalty for regulars - now gone. For the regulars I wish there was a way Andrea could reward us - now you gotta pay for beach seating too which happened during/after lockdowns... prices are high but not unreasonable. Can't beat the views! read more

Came here yesterday as this is my week off and one of my favorite spots in RI last few years. Ordered my favorite beer (Whalers) and was somewhat rudely told they weren't carrying it anymore. Don't understand this. Won't be back. There are other bars on the beach in Westerly with better beer. read more

One of the good spots to be at while you're here at the beach. It's not great but not horrible either. It's what you expect at a beachfront dining summer seasonal place. The staff did their job. Were there when you needed them. Not overly talkative. Not very hospitable. Just going through the motions. Fantastic ocean view sitting at the bar or a table. Very busy for dinner. I was there yesterday. Clam fritters are ok. Nothing to write home about. Too dense and stiff. Not light and airy as I have had at other places. The seafood cakes were good though. They were better than the clam fritters. They had clams shrimp and scallops ground up and fried into two patties with sauce drizzled on them. read more

Great location and good food. Nothing fancy but a fun environment for sure. Our service was top notch and friendly!

Great time today. Enjoyed "A Day At The Beach" provided by Andreas. Included parking, a plot on the beach suited for 4 with food/drink service. Speaking of service, Joey was spectacular. Very attentive, and enjoyed speaking to him briefly. He and his young lady who also provided the same service were simply amazing. A great looking couple. Judge for yourself! read more

Also had the crab fritters that was much more fritter than crab lol still with the dip, it was delicious. This is our 3rd or 4th time for us too. Enjoy read more

Great view, great food, spotty service. Fun fact: Andrea's used to be an absolutely awful hotel in the 90's, but Hurricane Sandy destroyed it, so they just turned whatever was left into a bar. Anyway, we came here two days in a row for lunch; the first day I got the whole lobster - extremely fresh and amazing. Our server the first day was visibly at her breaking point of being overwhelmed though, and while she got our order right and had it out fast, she was very... militant. It was uncomfortable. The second day, I got the lobster mac 'n cheese and clam fritters. They were both delicious. The kitchen messed up though and burned the clam fritters the first time, so they had to remake them. By the time I got them, we were ready to leave, so I had to take them with me to go. Their piña coladas were pretty good, but I recommend ordering them with a double shot of rum. The music is annoying and way too loud. I'd come back for the food and the oceanfront views, but they need to train the staff to handle the volume of customers better so there aren't orders being burnt and servers who are clearly about to lose their sh*t. read more
