    This is a neat venue! It's a small old school theatre that plays old movies while open and often has small music shows, comedy and more. The bar is open with a long cocktail list. The prices are the best around and most are under $10. My favorite cocktail is the Pink Flamingo. Plenty of sweet drinks. They also have beer on draft. Hungry for a little snack? They brought back the grilled cheese with cheese balls. It really hits the spot after a few drinks! Overall, a fun place to visit.

    As if having a cool historic theater wasn't enough, they also serve the world's greatest ice cream. An ice cream sundae with Warwick ice cream is guaranteed to please. I went with the Sasquatch sundae, coffee Oreo ice cream with caramel sauce, crushed waffle cone, whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry. The staff is super friendly and the ice cream is out of this world! Someone in line mentioned that their food is equally as delicious. We will definitely be back! Give Galactic a try today!

    Tried out the new food options at the galactic tonight - so good! Like the bar was before COVID - this food and drink was unique and did not disappoint. Fun and awesome- expectations exceeded. In photo - chicken and waffles, two flatbreads, chicken salad and two cocktails. All were fantastic. Go!

    Wow! What awesome Ice Cream Sundaes!! I selected the "Intergalactic Spastic Grahamtastic" which was Graham Central Station Ice Cream, Caramel Sauce, Crushed Heath, Whipped Cream, Nuts and a Cherry! Omg! It was heaven in a cup! We will definitely be coming back for more!!!

    Seriously can't say enough about this place. The staff is super cool and talk to anyone. The patrons are pretty welcoming, I can usually strike up an interesting convo with the person next to me. The live music that plays is generally awesome and Dave organizes it pretty nicely. You can tell he tries to run a pretty tight ship, so if there's shenanigans, it may not be welcomed. You can tell he tries to keep the riff raff out, which makes the place feel safe. Overall, this place has such a cool vibe and it's right down the street from Water St, so I can grab a Pork Osso Bucco, or Dirty Fish and Chips at the restaurants and listen to some great music afterward. Love this place!

    Yes we did!

    Galactic Theater still shines despite the darkness that's encapsulated so many during this time of COVID-19. The Flatbreads are delicious and the ice cream is fabulous! Dave keeps knocking it outta the park during a trying time and still maintains Galactic originality and charm!

    So I'd never been pre-covid but I can't imagine the vibe being anything short of energetic and fun. There's awesome customer service and despite the line being long on occasion, it's worth the wait for such a sweet treat! The owner reached out to me on IG after my visit and struck me as a wonderful person who is very passionate about his business and the Rhode Island food scene. If you're looking for a prime way to cool off and just the loveliest people, I recommend making a stop!

    Great local bar with live music

    High quality cocktails mixed to perfection served in a casual atmosphere with Charlie Chaplin movies playing in the background...what is better than that?!??! I especially enjoyed the tomahawk and the blue Hawaiian cocktails....yummmm! They even have a pretty big food menu - hot dogs, nachos, paninis...something for every bar food loving taste. I really enjoyed myself here - the bartender was super friendly, the locals were super friendly, the live music was hopping....all around a great time. The clean bathroom was unexpected but greatly appreciated. I will gladly come back here - next time I won't eat first - cuz I need to try some of these yummy concoctions!!! Come down, have some cocktails, grub and enjoy all this local joint has to offer!

    This place is amazing! One of the best, if not the best, on Main Street. We love stopping to get a shake in the evenings. They have dog ice cream too

Staff was very friendly and genuinely interesting to talk to the most recent time I visited. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night, with sexy, low mood lighting, trendy flower decor on the tables, even quirky and fun wallpaper in the bathrooms. The cocktail list is unique and has a little something for everyone. My drink had notes of rose which I found so different and delightful, though I ordered mine without egg white in it since I can't quite get into that cocktail ingredient trend. Everyone I've brought here has enjoyed their drink - glassware is pretty and photogenic but I do feel the portions are on the smaller side. What a great, "vibey" little spot to take a date, a friend on a bar crawl or quick afternoon catch up, and so on! Lots of other great stops in this plaza too, you could make a whole day out of this area without ever having to move your car. I feel I've traveled somewhere far away and a little exotic when I come here - a class act that hasn't let me down yet.

    We stopped in during Appy Hour for some appetizers and cocktails, which is our go to at Waterdog…read more They have a great app selection and it rarely disappoints. We ordered the mini stuffies, the hummus plate, and the fried pickles. The mini stuffies were a highlight. Loaded with Mello's chouriço and packed with flavor, they're a solid little bite. My grandfather set the bar pretty high for me on stuffies, and these came close. They have a different profile than what I grew up with; a little less bready, more chouriço forward, and the clam flavor takes a back seat. Not necessarily a complaint, they were just different from what I'm used to and were genuinely tasty. The lemon aioli on top was also a nice touch. The fried pickles were exactly what you want them to be. Crispy, well fried, and the breading actually stayed put while you ate them, which is more than I can say for a lot of fried pickles. They came with the same lemon aioli as the stuffies, which worked just as well here. The hummus plate was a bit of a letdown. We've had it many times before and it used to be a standout. This time the hummus itself was thick and pretty flavorless, more like a dense chickpea paste than anything else. The accompaniments were nice though and consisted of heirloom carrots, cucumbers, olives, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, pickled cauliflower, carrot, and a pepperoncini, all served alongside some buttery round crackers that were like a Ritz cracker's more refined cousin. The veggies saved the plate, but the hummus needs to find its way back. I suppose it could have just been an off batch and won't prevent us from trying it again. Cocktails were great, as usual. I had the Anana with scotch. I love pineapple and this has muddled pineapple and basil, pineapple juice, cracked black pepper. It's my go-to here and it delivered again. My partner went adventurous and ordered the Jungle Booby, which is built around tequila blanco and mezcal with campari, pineapple, grapefruit, lime, orgeat, and an absinthe spritz. The flavors were genuinely good, but the smokiness from the mezcal was a bit much for her taste. She followed it up with a glass of rosé and had no complaints after that. The cocktail wasn't the problem, it just wasn't her style. One of our favorite spots in Warren for a quick nibble, for a good reason.

    Bywater - Seafood Panznaella!

    Bywater is a highly popular restaurant that has the notoriety of being a James Beard semi finalist…read more We were very much looking forward to an excellent dinner with the family. They have a daily menu, and I've had some friends suggest this place as their favorite restaurant. We parked blocks away due to the lack of adequate parking. Once we walked in, we were greeted with pleasant smiles from the staff. The menu was short, which we attributed to a focus on quality. We ordered a French onion dip and a littleneck entree as an app for the table. We were served with lukewarm water, neither cold nor hot. The apostle John might have been somewhat disappointed (Rev 3:16). The dip was decent but was somewhat lacking in great onion flavor. But nothing to complain about. The little necks were served in a small bowl and lacked a bit of salt. Rather pricey for $26, but this place charges $6 just for bread and butter, so maybe it's just inflation? Enter the entrees. They apparently were short on chicken legs so they asked to substitute chicken breast. Two of us got burgers. First the $20 burgers, which were served with an aioli with no offer of ketchup or other condiments. In short, both burgers were terrible. Far worse than we make at home. It's always a disappointment when you realize you're paying all this extra for food you can make better at home. The buns were shockingly flat, like someone smashed them by hand. Or in a McDonald's box. Come to think of it, the flavor was similar, though overall the hamburger was somewhat bitter, salty and lacked an appetizing flavor. Wow. We all agreed they were terrible. The fries were also burnt and over salted. My daughter quit on her $30 chicken, so I tried it. The sauce wasn't bad, and it was served with a decent brocollini. But the chicken was some of the driest I've had in a restaurant, with no crisp skin and a uniformly poor texture. No wonder no one finished their entrees. And I hate wasting food. So, as much as we would have wanted to give this place a great rating, we just won't be back. The service, although with a smile, was slow and terrible. Our candle burnt out in the middle of dinner. It was never relit. Our glasses were empty halfway through dinner. No refills on the tepid water. The entrees took an hour and a half before they came out (we were warned the chicken could take 30 min). Generally a very disappointing experience. Hard to explain the rave reviews but our Saturday dinner was a sad bust. The cold wet madeleines they provided in a doggie bag didn't do anything to help. Oh well. Hope y'all have a better experience if you go here.

    Bywater, we will be back!…read more Warren, RI has some great restaurants and I was surprised since I don't frequent this area much. But after this past weekend, I know I want to come back. We were having a lovely dinner in Warren and stopped into Bywater for a quick after-dinner drink. It was a bit cooler out but since they had no seats in the extremely limited bar area, we took the plunge and sat outside near their fire pits. They did not have many wines to choose from BTG which was disappointing. The one I had which was Cinsault was just ok. I had to dump out most of it since I did not enjoy it but that was my fault since sampling it I thought I liked it. My friend had the bartender make her a cocktail with grapefruit since they did not have pineapple. She was looking for a French martini but seemed to enjoy what they made her. My husband's espresso martini was very good I thought and light but could've used some bailey's. We already had dessert so we did not plan on anything else but I know I am interested in returning for dinner. The restaurant is very small inside but I loved the warm lights and decor. It was a very sexy and attractive vibe! If you are ever in Warren I highly recommend coming here for either drinks, dinner, or both. Dress warm if you plan on heading outside to sit near the fire...it does not give off that much heat! Cheers!

Not a good look when a customer watches your drink being made with those. Staff does not wear a uniform either.. zits just odd. And we wonder why the bar is always empty! I will say, There was a decent woman in her 40's working there for a few weeks on Saturday nights . She was wonderful!, and could actually make a drink! I haven't seen her in months. I can't lie, one evening we couldn't help but watch her try to pretty much jug the entire restaurant and make everyone's drinks because the other staff were clueless. One waitress was working with a surgical boot on her foot that went all the way up to her knee! Talk about a Liability! . I haven't seen that other server there in quite some time. I could only guess that she took her experience elsewhere. She was way too overqualified to be working in that establishment. She could handle that entire restaurant by herself. . Either that, or she ran out that restaurant door because she saw how the place was run! It's unfortunate because the food is delicious. But we just can't go there anymore. It's a nightmare.
