IPAs and the Don't Call It a Comeback
Jennifer B.

Metal night on Monday was fun. Grabbed some delicious IPAs from the bar inside. Plenty of seating options in or out. Love this larger new spot for these guys. Street parking is plentiful and free. If you have extra time, check out the other businesses in the area too from distillers to coffee shops.

Hubby & I were across the street at ISCO for an event & decided to pop into the new Buttonwoods Brewery location. It is the former location of Revival Brewing Company & Lost Valley Pizza. It is a large open space, they took out the big front bar & the weird bar in the back. Beer is excellent - we tried the German pilsner & the Italian Pils. There is lots of seating & some fun vintage arcade games. The kitchen has been taken over by Screaming Unicorn. We didn't eat because we were heading out to dinner but the pizzas looked delicious. We will definitely be back!

I've been in several times and the staff is always friendly! We've gone to trivia on Wednesdays a few times and it's fun. Make sure you check that day in history and who's born that day cause there are always questions about that! Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is cause they predominantly make IPAs and I don't like the variety. They have has a couple semi sours lately which are tasty!

New place looks amazing! Absolutely love the changes they made, so much warmer, and exceedingly more inviting. Still happy to see the same furniture from Cranston, making those of us that frequented feel right at home. Beer was delicious and the food from screaming unicorn was delicious! Super friendly service as always.

So excited to discover this place! Great beer, great vibes, great bartenders - will be back for sure!

I attended Trivia night at Buttonwoods and had a splendid time. The beer is good but you probably know that already. The venue is positively post-Industrial and a nice warm spot tucked into an old mill building. There was a food menu themed after the trivia that night (Twin Peaks) and while I didn't partake my friends loved what they tried. The trivia host was exceptional. I plan to return for another of their trivia nights down the line.

Stout with Borealis coffee

This is my new favorite Rhode Island brewery! The stout was so flavorful and complex. My surprise favorite was the sour with orange and vanilla!! Tasted like a boozy creamsicle! Can't wait to come back

Pilsner, Stout, Farm House Ale, Sour

The beer is some of the best I've had in RI. The atmosphere is very unique & rad creating its own character & feel in a world where a lot of breweries look like Apple stores now. The service was quick & friendly. They allow dogs inside which is a huge positive.

This is a very long overdue review for Buttonwoods. 5/5 stars for the beer, the variety, and the ambiance. The first time I went to Buttonwoods was right before the pandemic. The space was warm and inviting--an honest-to-goodness hidden gem in RI. (Navigating the gravel industrial parking lot is a bit of an adventure, but that's part of the unique charm.) We picked up beers curbside during the pandemic, and now we finally made it back this fall to see how the inside has changed. It's a perfect refuge for anyone looking to spend a rainy weekend afternoon with friends or family. On the most recent visit I tried a bottle of First Breath, a Rustic Industrial Ale with Blueberries. It was crisp, perfectly tart, and bursting with blueberries. Their Pilsner was a highly crushable delight too. There's really something for everyone on their tap list which is part of the joy of going. If someone in your group only drinks IPAs or sours, odds are they're going to have something divine for either. From 2019 to now they've been putting out amazing product and we look forward to going back more regularly in 2024!

Entrance to the Annex

Buttonwoods Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Cranston, Rhode Island in December 2017. It was founded by brewer Morgan Clark Snyder Jr. After college, Snyder knew that he wanted to be involved with the alcohol industry in some way and he took up homebrewing as a hobby. After getting good at it, he volunteered on the bottling line at Hardywood Park Brewery in Richmond, VA and later earned an internship with Union Beer Distributors in Brooklyn, NY. Snyder eventually found himself working as a brewer for Bronx Brewery. After learning as much as he could about the beer industry, he convinced his father to go into business with him and open their own brewery. Snyder named the brewery "Buttonwoods" after the section of Warwick that his parents lived in. They found a space inside a circa-1912 old mill building and named it "The Annex". At Buttonwoods Brewery, Snyder brews everything from European-style lagers to farmhouse ales to New England IPAs. The brewery quickly earned a reputation for being one of the finest in the state. My son and I recently visited Buttonwoods Brewery after we went on a long bike ride on the nearby Washington Secondary Bike Path. I decided to look and see if there was a good brewery nearby for lunch, and Buttonwoods came highly recommended. I really liked the look, decor and atmosphere of "The Annex"; a really chill place. My son was entertained by their vintage arcade cabinets. There's also an area with a stereo system where customers can spin some vinyl. The brewery had a nice mixture of different styles available on draught during my visit. I decided to order short pours of "Go Up In The Clouds" (Pale Ale), "Move Mountains" (New England IPA), "Object Permanence" (Citra IPA), and "Cool Arcade" (DDH Zero IBU Double IPA). I thoroughly enjoyed every single beer that I sampled. Buttonwoods also has their own on-site kitchen named "Screaming Unicorn". My son and I were pretty hungry so we ordered and shared the "Sweet Chili Popcorn Chicken" (crispy chicken thigh chunks, sweet chili glaze, miso aioli dipper) and the "Unicorn Fries" (super special seasoning, chili glaze, avocado crema, scallion). Both dishes were very tasty and paired well with the beer! I'm so happy that so many great craft breweries have been popping up in Rhode Island in recent years and Buttonwoods is no exception! I'll definitely be back!

New place to try
Tina S.

This place was really cool. Found them on Yelp when we were in the area for shopping. It is two breweries inside one space. We found it loud at first until we found out Wednesday nights area trivia nights. Everyone was having fun and lots of banter back and fourth with everyone. Unfortunately we got there when the game was already going on. Thursday night is vinyl night so you can bring albums and they play them. They also have a small kitchen that serves a few items. We had the chili nachos which were not bad at all. Can't wait to go back on another night to see what other things they do.

Definitely love coming to Moniker and highly recommend checking it out!

Moniker Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Providence, Rhode Island in January 2021. It was…read morefounded by business partners Bryan Benedict, Jeff Goodno, Ben Estes, Ted Pease and Jean Lombard. Benedict left a career in IT in order to turn his craft beer hobby into a full time job. He worked as a sales rep and brand manager for a wholesaler before becoming the director of marketing and sales at Connecticut-based Beer'd Brewing Company. He dreamed of opening his own brewery, so he partnered with Goodno, who had 15+ years of experience working for breweries such as Taproot, Victory Brewing, and SOME Brewing. Estes, who had formerly worked at Proclamation Ale Company and the Guild, was hired as the head brewer. Pease and Lombard, who had experience with tax laws and other skills, were the last partners to come on board. They set up shop in a former auto body. Benedict chose the name "Moniker" to strip away the focus on brand egos and instead focus entirely on the taproom experience, the community, and the beer. The brewery became notable for their wide repertoire of beer styles, even earning praise from Hop Culture Magazine. In May 2026, Moniker purchased Ravenous Brewing in Cumberland with plans to rebrand it as "Moniker North". I recently visited Moniker Brewery while I was passing through Providence. They had been on my list for a while. The place was small and cozy but inviting with a decent amount of indoor seating. There is also patio seating outside, but it was a little too wet and chilly on the day of my visit. I pulled up a seat at the bar and looked over the draught menu. There was a nice eclectic mix of styles. I ordered a sampler flight which included "L.H. Czech Dark" (Tmavé), "Midnight Rodeo" (Dark Mexican Lager), "Blinded by Nostalgia" (IPA), "Stay Cool Drink Moniker" (Hazy Pale Ale), and "It's Called Sightseeing" (Bourbon Barrel-Aged Tripel). The latter was my favorite! Between the eclectic mix of styles and the friendly space, I really enjoyed my visit to Moniker. I look forward to when they open their new larger space.

The beer selection is quite vast…read more Whether you're looking for a staple like the Hi-Neighbor lager, a seasonal beer, or even one of their rotating hard juices, they have it! There's also a menu of snacks, flatbreads, and sandwiches if you're feeling hungry. All of the bartenders are always kind and willing to give recommendations or samples if you're unsure what to order. The vibes are also unmatched! Situated right on the water in Fox Point, you can grab a table with a view of the river, sit right at the bar, or find a spot near one of the TVs to catch a game. Pro tip: On the first Thursday of every month, they have a First Thursday punch card where you can collect stamps and save them up for prizes! Definitely recommend for a chill night out with some friends or your favorite person.

They do have a parking lot, which is awesome, but it fills up very fast and parking in the area can be tough once the lot is full. The service is always friendly and attentive, they have really helped me make selections when I wasn't sure what to order in terms of beer. They usually let you try something if you're not sure if you're going to like it before you order which I appreciate because I can be very picky. I typically get a flight when I'm there because I like to try the different beers and I really love their Pilsner probably most of all. They do a good job with IPAs and their pumpkin beer is good, not too sweet, which is what I prefer. I think they excel the most at German style beer. I appreciate that they typically have a variety of beer as well as hard seltzers and also wine so that I can bring most friends even if they don't like beer. They also sell craft soda for those who don't drink alcohol. So there's usually something for everyone. I can't really speak on the food because I don't typically order food when I'm there, but it always smells good. Additionally, they have been known to participate in fundraisers for nonprofits and that is always an A+ in my book.

The beverage was fresh and crisp. It wasn't overly sweet and not too dry; felt more acidic. Staff were very friendly and there were a few people watching a football game inside. I sat outside where there were a few barrels and chairs.

I am almost at a loss for words for how shitty of an experience we recently had here…read more A small group of us (came in as 5 people, eventually were about 12) arrived around 11:15p after a wedding. This place doesn't close until 1a so our arrival shouldn't have been annoying. The place wasn't that busy for a Saturday night, and we were treated like we arrived at the worst possible time. Our server was visibly and audibly pissy that he had to wait on our table. There were only 5 of us at first and no one in our party was drunk our rowdy. Eventually a few more folks came in, including the bride and groom. And our grumpy ass server continued to be rude. He was annoyed he had to take our drink order, annoyed we wanted to order food AND the deciding factor to leave this review was... We had ordered some pretzels, which they are known for, and were very good. We had to wait a while for him to come back to ask him for plates and utensils. He literally dropped a stack of plates in front of me, and what appeared to be every fork in the building, well beyond what we could have possibly needed and said "this is everything we have" with the nastiest attitude. It was so excessive and so over the top that we were speechless. His attitude did not match anything happening in that building. We all have bad days but if you want people to come into your establishment throwing forks down like a toddler is not the way to get repeat business. Hands down one of the shittiest experiences I've had in a long while. If you are looking for any sense of customer service - go somewhere else. Unless, of course, a borderline abusive server is your jam - then you're in luck!
