    This brewery still producing some of the best beer in Rhode Island. Plenty of parking. Across from the airport. Arcade games, multiple seating options, some food options. It can get hot inside (or be cold) depending on the season. Plan accordingly. Try their sours, IPAs, and stouts. You won't be sorry.

    Large selection of beers and plenty of room, reasonable prices. They have a few video games, pinball machine, and what looked like a tabletop shuffle board. Food truck was awesome. Large portions including plenty of fries. Fast and friendly food truck owner. Down side; dogs and kids allowed. I'm an older guy and don't think it's a good idea, but breweries have to do what they can to survive. There is also a patio area. Plenty of parking because it's located in an industrial park. Good selection of different beer styles so there's something for everyone.

    One of my favorite brewery in Rhode Island! Love coming here and it never disappoints. Staff are very friendly, atmosphere is super chill. There's some free arcade and it's pup friendly on the patio! There's always something happening at Proc, check out their social media or website for foodtruck on site to grab a bite! If the food truck is not your thing, you can always bring your own food while enjoying their ice cold beer! This is a great place to connect with some friends and have a great time! If you're in the area, definitely stop by. If you're lucky, you'll even catch a beautiful sunset.

    THE brewery spot for family and friends in Warwick, RI. Enjoy the free retro arcade gaming, food trucks, car shows, drag shows and various other events they have. Service has always been and still is great! Plus, the beer is always on point!

    Made a unplanned stop here after walking at buttonwoods park - glad I did. Really cool atmosphere and the beer was very good. I got an ale with strawberries and rhubarb called "Pie Chart" ($8). It was smooth and refreshing. My mom got an oatmeal milk stout called "Broze" which was amazing. ($6) Great flavor. Most of their drafts are only $6 which is such a great price nowadays for a 12 oz pour. Friendly staff and I'll be back for those prices alone!

    Proclamation Ale Company is a craft brewery that opened in West Kingston, Rhode Island in February 2014. It was founded by Dave Witham. A musician by trade, Witham originally taught lessons at private schools as well as for individuals. After getting into homebrewing, he had a dream of opening his own brewery with the purpose of providing delicious and exciting beer to a local market that was sick and tired of amber ales. Proclamation originally opened in a small space in West Kingston that was just shy of 2,000-square-feet and had a small 3-barrel brew system. The brewery quickly took off and soon outgrew its space. A larger 15,000-square-foot brewery with a 30-barrel system opened in Warwick in December 2017. Witham sadly passed away three years later after a battle with cancer. His widow Lori is now the owner of the brewery and she (along with the amazing staff) are continuing to keep his vision and legacy alive. My son and I recently visited Proclamation after we went on a long bike ride on the nearby Washington Secondary Bike Path. I've heard excellent things about the brewery for some time. They have a huge taproom with a small collection of vintage arcade cabinets and a large outdoor patio area. The brewery has a rotating schedule of food trucks, but they also have a snack cart set up (in partnership with Cranston-based Saugy Franks) where customers can buy gourmet hotdogs and other snacks. They had an excellent selection of different beer styles on draught during my visit. I decided to order short pours of "Tendril" (New England IPA), "Stalk" (Double New England IPA) and "(In)Significance" (Triple New England IPA). I loved them all; each beer was better than the previous one! I'm so happy that so many great craft breweries have been popping up in Rhode Island in recent years and Proclamation is no exception! I'll definitely be back!

    Derivative, a single hop Citra IPA.

    We had one beer from Proclamation as that was only what time and opportunity allowed but I felt lucky to try the one. Derivative was the name of the beer we had with this brewery experience, a single hop Citra IPA that we had. The beer was alright and refreshing enough but not necessarily the most memorable as far as this style goes. Perhaps going in a different direction with the beer options would have been the way to go to have had more of a memorable beer.

    A great RI brewery! Always a large tap list with something for everyone. Great selection of sours and IPAs. Cans are always available for purchase. The brewery has a very large space. Even when super busy, there is always a spot for everyone. They have long tables, four tops, and some two tops around the brewery. It's crowded but walkable on the weekends. On the wall, they have a huge projector display of movies that play. Movies range from animated to live action. I believe they use Netflix for movies. Each week they have rotating food trucks. You are also available to bring in your own food. Overall, a great place to visit!

    Great selection of beers at Proclamation Ale. They aren't offering flights right now, but have full and half pours available. My favorite was the Ooooh Plumberries, and my husband's was the Middle Tooth. They let you buy mixed 4-packs to go which was a good option! They take their Covid protocols seriously; everything was very cleaned between visitors, and socially distanced! Picnic tables outside were perfect!

    Came here for a food truck event-I'm not much of a beer drinker, so didn't think I would like anything-- And I had my 11 year old with me. Thankfully they had other options of drinks while we waited for our food..... They were also nice enough to let us try samples to see if there was a bear that I would like. Definitely worth the trip with an array of options to choose from..

    What the hell is the $6 in-house charge on a tab?

    No such thing when we were there

    Does Proclamation have gluten free beer available at the brewery?

    Not that I've ever seen, and if any of it is it wasn't labeled so.

    Do they put on the Patriots when the game is on?

    I don't believe so. They have one projector that's usually showing older movies or cartoons. I don't believe I've ever seen a sports game on.

    Can you bring non-proclamation growlers in to be filled?

    Yes

    In town for work and was looking for a place to grab a bite after work. I found The Shanty on Yelp…read more The moment I opened the door I was greeted, by the owner, with the most upbeat personality and smile! She showed me to my table, brought a carafe of water, and welcomed me in. I was quickly welcomed by Sergio, my server, who shared the special and the soup of the day. Once I ordered my soda I took in the ambiance of the bar, new lights, and the rest of the restaurant. It's not a large building but they make every inch count. Now, the reason you're reading this review- THE FOOD. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The chicken (photo below) was perfectly cooked, topped with hot honey, slaw, pickles, and ranch then placed on a soft brioche bun. The meal was reasonably priced as well at $33 which included tip. I will absolutely be back to the Shanty next time I'm in town.

The restaurant wasn't too busy, but there was a steady crowd. People were either dining in or picking up to-go orders. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, so there are plenty of areas to dine. The bartender was friendly and helpful. I decided to go with the seared salmon, Brussels sprouts, and corn risotto. Thankfully, it wasn't much of a wait because I was hungry. My food came out fresh and hot. Everything was really delicious. My only complaint was there were a few flies swarming around me, which made my dining experience less enjoyable. I spent most of my time trying to swat them away. The bartender even moved me to another spot, but they still followed me. While I really enjoyed my food and the service, it might be a good idea for them to invest in small table fans to keep the flies away. Otherwise, my food was tasty, and the service was great!

The venue was a little loud and echo-y, and the educational talks were impossible to hear, but the place was filled with good energy. It would have been nice to have some tall tables to collect oneself/drink beer/snack, but I'm not sure where they would've gone... Smart moves: band outside singing "have your ID ready" ( both for entertainment value and practical purposes). The line was fairly sizable but moved quicker than I expected. Even the longest lines at the beer tables moved quickly, and having beer upstairs and downstairs was a good way to split up crowds. It seemed like endless amounts of beer, which is probably the actualization of a beer nirvana. I had a great time and would definitely recommend!

I attended the afternoon session & getting into the Rhodes on the Pawtuxet was a breeze. I had no issues waiting for pours at most brewer's tables. It seemed there were a few absences (Goose Island, Bell's & Sam Adams) but there were other breweries taking their place. I always like the special one off collaboration brews that you can only get at Beervana. The attending breweries always bring their A games & love showcasing their brews. There are beer festivals almost weekly but Beervana is definitely the premier one in New England if you ask me.
