One of my favorite dive bars! Bartenders are friendly, drinks are cheap, once in awhile there's food. Absolutely love the penny bar top!

We've driven by Whalen Cafe on West Shore Road in Warwick like a bazillion times & last night, we…read morefinally gave in to our curiosity. The moment we stepped inside, it had that classic neighborhood bar feel & was bursting with character & authenticity. The vibe is no frills, down-to-earth & completely unpretentious. Just the essentials: good food at a great price, full bar & staff that knows what they're doing. Regulars chat like old friends & first-timers get a look but fit right in. Hubby zeroed in on the snail salad listed on the whiteboard & couldn't resist ordering it. It ended up being the thinnest-shaved scungilli either of us has ever eaten! Was it the best snail salad I've ever had (Uncle Tony's in Cranston still has that rank for me)? No... but it was super tender & flavorful. Would we order it again? Yes. A quick heads-up: it's cash-only, but fortunately, there's an ATM onsite so settling your tab is never an issue. Whalen Cafe is one of those classic local gems that remind you why neighborhood spots matter.

I swear I've reviewed this place before- was it taken down? Did I write it in my mind? Drove by the…read moreother day and remembered that I LOVE this place....I think I said my initial impression upon walking into this place with my sister for the first time was the vibe of a bar that would be labeled "for boys only"...but it is so much more than that....local, cheap, and fun! Great food, good beer, and I love the local atmosphere- it definitely has vibes from my childhood of down to earth and no frills but with everything that you need and a great bartender. It was cash only when I went. I ordered the hot Italian grinder and it rocked my world!

Went here with my parents for the first time after only hearing great things. The entrance is on…read morethe side of the building leading to the basement. Upon entrance is a doorman who is so friendly and accommodating! He found us an open table and checked on us throughout the night. The place was packed and they only had maybe 5 or 6 employees so the service was a little slow but understandable. I think the longest wait was about 20 minutes when we were waiting to get our initial drink order taken, but everything after that was fairly quick. For drinks I got a thin mint martini because they were out of the chocolate reuge martini I wanted. It was so yummy and came with 3 thin mint cookies. My mom got a pistachio martini and the Jefferson Tea. Both were pretty good but I wouldn't order again. My dad got Dead Mans Redemption which is good if you like bourbon. It comes with a wood topper and they light it on fire, let smoke fill in the drink, and then take the wood off. The drink then has notes of smoked wood in it which is cool. For food we got the crispy spring rolls and pepperoni flatbread. Both were so good!!!! It was absolutely worth the wait!!! I could eat the whole flatbread myself it was that good and I can't wait to go back and get another one. The crowd is definitely much older, not a lot of younger people around. It's a good date night for married couples. Overall it was a nice place and I would come back.

Immediately put off by pushy bartender pushing high end drinks. I love high end drinks... don't try to handle me. Settled down. Enjoyed my specific cocktail... have huge history here...met my wife here 26 years ago!! They comped us a creme brulee... one of the best I've ever had. Met "Swan"... their security detail. Great guy! We will go back.
