Love this place, great deals on food and drinks and a great place to get together with friends.

Thirsty Beaver is a pretty typical sports bar with decent pub foods. They have a menu with all of the standard favorites - nachos, wings, burgers, etc. Food is decent and prices are about what you would expect. They also offer specials nearly every day of the week. We visited on Monday night and they had a few domestic drafts, including Truly, for just $3 a pint. We also got a pepperoni pizza. I don't think the crust was made in house (looked more like a Pizza Gourmet packaged wood fire crust, and the sauce was a little too sweet, but it was still a decent pizza. The indoor seating area feels cavernous, but the outdoor picnic tables are great when the weather is good. Service was good. Our orders were taken efficiently and the drinks & food arrived pretty quickly. read more

The only reason it's not a five star - noise doesn't do well there. It wasn't full capacity but it was hard to have a conversation without raising my voice. And it's the Bryant bar - which I wasn't expecting - and I just thought I could grab a late dinner and enjoy some drinks and Olympics - and nahhhh around 9 they are clearing tables and the college kids start showing up. Vibe changed. GOOD FOR THEM! but not ideal for me lol Buuuuut they'd get five stars for the food alone. I LOVED my burger so much. Best burger I have had in a while - Alabama Slamma. Flame grilled?!? Flavorful. So good, and I don't know why but I got a side salad instead of fries and that dressing was so good too! Was highly delighted with the salad. Service was great - I really appreciated that when our beers came in plastic cups our waitress immediately told us "sorry about the cups, everything else was hot from the washer" like yes please, make a decision for better quality AND give us a heads up? But man. I'm thinking of that burger again today. Oh my friend got a chicken Caesar salad and the bowl sucked lol. It was top heavy and difficult to cut without knocking it over. Burger, still fire. read more

Stopped into the Thirsty Beaver today for lunch and it got the job done. The inside is cute and spacious. The waitress was also very nice and took our orders very quickly. I ordered the chicken sandwich with fries and my partner had the turkey avocado wrap. He liked his food, and mine was pretty decent as well. I'm giving four stars because I found three different/rather long hairs on the table and my chicken sandwich didn't blow me away. However, it's definitely not bad by any means! read more

What a hidden gem! They have multiple locations in RI. A perfect spot for a quick bite to eat or drinks with friends at the bar. The exterior looks like a cabin and fits its name. Service was friendly. I came from wing night and got the garlic parm and bbq wings. They were a good size and flavorful. I had the couch potato fries app and it was tasty and filling. The Alabama Slamma burger was sooooo good. They had a wide range of menu items and I'm excited to go back to try more items! read more

Good food, decent service...filthy restroom, faucet and handles so loose they moved when turned on. Sneakers sticking to floors in restroom and inside the restaurant itself. Chairs at our table so wobbly we had to switch them out. Two of us ordered beers, both delivered to table and were NOT the right beers (and not just switched...neither was a beer that either of us ordered). Brought them up to the bar and explained they were not right. One that we ordered was no longer even on tap the bartender said...so did they try to pull a fast one? The other? Apparently the tap handle was on the wrong tap. This is just poor management on many levels and poor training. Usually like this place but can't say we'd be back anytime soon after this. read more

This was our second time trying thirsty beaver but first time dinning in. It was a quiet Tuesday night so thought we would get in and get out fast. We ordered right away but the service was pretty slow (only complaint). Other than that, we really enjoyed our meal! We started with wings which were good size and also had the couch potato for an app that was pretty good as well, so many good options on the menu we were eyeing so will have to go back to try other items. For dinner my GF had the Alabama bbq burger that was solid and the fries were so good. I ordered grilled chicken tenders but they ended up bringing out the breaded tenders but I didn't say anything since they looked really good and they were really good lol! The inside had many tvs to catch the game with plenty of bar seating, high top tables, standard Tables, and outdoor patio seating as well. They have garage doors they open in the front on nice nights that gives it a cool element to the dinning experience. Overall, we enjoyed our meal just wish the service was faster. read more

Very good. Love the atmosphere of this place. Great place to watch a game. Service was pretty good. Food was great. To start we got the frickles (delicious) and an order of siracha maple brown sugar wings campfire style (they grill them after saucing them) and wow they were great. Would definitely recommend campfire style if you plan on ordering wings. For my main I got the chicken caesar wrap with a side of honey mustard and buffalo sauce. Very delicious and the dipper fries are excellent. Overall a very good experience. read more

Went to TB Smithfield around 3:30 on a Sunday. Maybe 12 people at bar. Sit down and wait for bartender. Cool she's helping others. I'm patient. Walks by us. Doing something. Cool. But no HI. No I'll be right with you. Cool. I'll wait. People next to us with empty beer glasses complaining and wondering where the bartender is. I'll be generous and say we were waiting about 10/12 minutes for her to at least acknowledge us... probably closer to 15+ minutes before I called The Trap to see if they were open. And they were. So we up and left and are now sitting outside at the bar and listening to live music. So I guess you can say our day got better. But that's a wrap on TB. Can't say I've ever had a great experience there. Usually just average. And today was the last straw. read more

The perfect place to go for lunch after a nice long hike at Heritage Park / Steere Hill on a summer day. My friends and I enjoyed the pub fare and some cold beers out on the patio with our four legged friend (dogs welcone on the patio!). We cleaned our plates! My burger was juicy and the fries were crispy goodness. The service was spot on and the server even lent us a water dish for the dog. Oh! You can even buy lunch for your dog! read more

Stayed local tonight went to the Smithfield beaver! Quiet then it filled up we always just grab a seat at the bar. Jacob was the bartender he was a great bartender & a great personality . Had a full bar but was very attentive. Split a few apps pizza & a salad . Foods always great & quick. Bar area was very clean & tvs were on to watch nfl games . Music was playing just loud enough to be able to talk too. The manager & servers were all pitching in and helped deliver the food & drinks to everyone. Always a great time & great service at the Beaver. read more

Casual spot to get wings. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the sweet chili cauliflower bites were but not impressed with the wings. I've heard people RAVE about this place so I won't write it off, I'll try different flavors next time. I ordered the white bbq and garlic parm rub. We received good service from our waitress Allexis. read more

Overall, you can't really go wrong with The Thirsty Beaver. They have a menu with a good variety of options. I haven't had anything that I haven't liked yet. I particularly enjoy the boneless wings. I do think the tables are a bit close together, but I understand wanting to fit as many as possible for those super busy times. read more

First time trying this place. The building is pretty cool-looking. It was a Thursday night. We had no idea that it was a college hangout. It was a little loud. $7 martinis - all kinds! Guinness promotion made Guinness free! The menu had quite a variety of items to pick from. We all came for chicken wings/fingers. My only recommendation is don't get the wings tossed in the sauce. Get a variety of sauces! I will say that the service wasn't bad and the food was average. I'm glad we tried the place. I probably won't be back on a Thursday night though while college is happening.. read more

Not my original pick but I wish it was. I needed a gluten free menu and the staff was very accommodating. The pizza was great and the drinks were very tasty. Large open floor plan with a ton of seats. My only regret is not finding this place sooner when the weather was warmer. read more

See fly in attached photo. Food was horrible. Not just not good but inedible. Ordered child's cheese burger sliders and a Ruben sandwich. Burger tasted like charcoal and had flys on it. Ruben was not grilled and no sauce barely any corned beef read more

This was probably the worst restaurant I've ever experienced. I went in to watch a football game and get some food. There was one person working. It was freezing cold. It took 45 min to get some nachos, that came out cold and the most pathetic excuse for a dish. I thought it was a joke. When she asked how everything was, I told her the issue. She asked me if I wanted to take them home to heat up later! I later found out, there was one cook in the back. Please, let this horribly named and managed chain go out of business. read more

I've ordered the wings a couple times. They were very good. Crispy, but not overcooked. Staff is always friendly.

Please look at my reviews I don't give out 4 starts that much SO TO MY SURPRISE !! I finally have to give this place 5 stars. They have been accommodating and the food is fantastic. The manager and the servers they all have been wonderful. This place is very busy and I like the way that they are able to control the crowd and still keep it organized. The food specials always rotates.. I like the fact that whatever you get it just never disappoints. For example, the Valentine's Day menu has good assortment of selections. Citrus and spice Kentucky, Chocolate covered strawberry Tini Bowl of warm, Valentines wish salad, head over Tails taco, Perfect match burger, Mini Biscuit loving, Really single Raviolis, Cupid kiss I uploaded the menu in the pictures in the description. Friday: Heads of Tails Fish tacos. Look at the picture. The fish was bigger that the tortilla. DAG! I love it when there is more meat ratio. Today, Perfect match burger. The bread was a delicious French toast. Bacon nice and crisp. Eggs fits nicely in bread. What I thought was surprising is that if you are returning customer that realize. I have always been welcomed and had somewhere to sit if I called ahead. This maybe my new hangout spot!! Good food, atmosphere and service! FYI - Talked with the manager and spoke with the head chef here. Had to let them how delighted I was with everything I highly recommend this place. CONGRATULATIONS YOU MADE THIS GUY A FAN!! Brought the Valentines Desert take home to moms! Check it out! read more

Ordered quite a few things on the menu. Loved everything I tried. Will definitely be back

I really love bar food so I was excited to try this place, especially since I live so close by. It was really empty at 5pm on a Wednesday, so we were seated right away. My husband and I ordered Buffalo and garlic Parm wings with loaded waffle fries (it came with scallions, cheese, sour cream and bacon). Our Food took about 15 minutes to arrive. The wings were just okay--the garlic parm wings didnt taste like garlic, almost like it was missing the garlic toss because the parm wasn't sticking to the wings. The Buffalo wings were good and I loved the waffle fries. read more

Nice little bar. Cold beer and friendly staff. Would absolutely come here again if I'm in the area.

I wanted to try this restaurant out because of their community involvement and I am glad we did. I really liked the inside theming. They have a juke box, log lamps and everything made out of wood. It felt very clean. The service was ok, there seemed to only be one server. I am assuming they were short staffed. The menu has fun and creative names referencing local phrases. We ordered the wings and fried pickles for appetizers and everyone enjoyed them. I ordered the fish sandwich and it was very good. My daughter ordered the staff pick chicken sandwich and my fiancé and son ordered burgers. They all enjoyed their food as well. It does have a slight bar feel/bar food vibe, but definitely family friendly. read more

Came here for drinks only. I ended up getting one of the siders which was actually pretty good. I also did the Yelp check in which gave me a dessert shot of chocolate cake and that had an interesting taste to it. Are bartender was very nice and friendly. Was very accommodating. I like the seating plan it was very clean and lots of windows as well as TVs to watch games of all kinds. I kind of wish that they had some other games to play like darts or a pool table or even a ping pong table but whatever. If I was in the area definitely would come and check it out. They have plenty of free parking in the lot as well. read more

Went back after a couple of years and experience was just as bad. Will not be making the mistake of coming back to the Thirsty Beaver a 3rd time. Some of my friends wanted to go to the Beaver after an event and I figured it's been a couple of years maybe the place improved a little bit. Walked in and place was dingier than I had remembered only a couple people staffing the entire place long line at the bar. I wanted to eat but they closed the kitchen at 9 so we just missed it, not that the food is anything special but when you're hungry sometimes you'll lower your standards. Ended up waiting in the bar line to get a Guinness and try forget where I was. I finally get to order and the bartender when pouring my drink spilled another beverage in my Guinness and must have thought I didn't noticed because he decided to serve it to me anyways. Also I don't go to many bars but 8.50 for a 12oz Guinness was insulting especially since the bartender couldn't avoid making it into a Cocktail. I regret wasting more time and money at this place, for real this time, I'm never going back. Avoid this dive like the plague unless you like crappy overpriced drinks and dark dingy atmosphere. read more

One of the best burger places .. And amazing sweet potato fries! Also a fun time with the games they have !

Service was good, but the food was bad. Like they over cooked everything in old oil. Nachos and Brussel sprouts burned. Chicken tenders dark brown looked like bad fish and chips. Wings were ok, but nothing special. Table of 8, we all said the food was no bueno. read more

This location for the Thirsty Beaver is much bigger than the Cranston location. They offered a similar menu and prices/portions of meals were adequate. The kitchen reversed our meal order but it was getting busy so I it was an easy fix. our meals came out within 15 minutes of placing the order and everything that should be hot was. The waitress was decent and checked on us frequently during our meal. My only complaint was the heating or the lack there of it. when we arrivedit was chilly but 15 minutes before we left suddenly the heat kicked on but it stifling. the same thing happened at tHe Cranston location so I'm guessing it's a pre set heating system. read more

Wound up here on a Sunday night after a brewery tour with a few friends (7). Waitress did a great job getting us our drinks and food order. Started off with some appetizers; wings, nachos, loaded fries. All were delicious! I had a hamburger and fries and have to say it was the only time in awhile that the burger was cooked as ordered, well done. Usually when I order well done it comes out raw in the middle. Lettuce, and tomato were fresh. Restaurant has a good selection of beers on tap. Huge bar and plenty of big screens. Parking lot is large and there is a lot next door to handle any overflow. There is also patio dining. They do have another location in Cranston, but I find parking a problem there. I would recommend it to friends and family. read more

If you like sitting in a barn with no heat, sub par food and expensive drinks this is the place for you. Nuf said!

Not a Fan I will always be fan of the bar that preceded this place, Tickers. It was a dump, but it was my town dump bar. Now we have The Beaver, it's just not my thing. Nice people, decent deals, so it's not the new places fault. However, walking into this brightly lit place with the nauseating neon lights on the bar bottles, it just reminds me of one of those awful Bar Rescue makeovers. Saving grace for me is that they have a great bartender named Billy who always treats us well. The place isn't bad, it's just not for me. Thanks read more

Lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place. Dirty glasses again! Few weeks ago I commented about a lemon seed stuck to the inside bottom of my glass. I get another dirty glass this past weekend. This time it's some type of oil inside my glass. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I won't get fooled again. Picture included look to the bottom right. Enjoy your drinks read more

The most ridiculous thing happened. A group of 10 of us who are all 21+ with VALID IDs, they didn't believe they were real WHEN THEY ARE, so we gave them our student IDs showing we are seniors in college. The awful nasty women manager then proceeded to ask for our 21st birthday INSTAGRAM POSTS!!! INSANE! After they did that we all left and we will not be back. Used to be a fun Bryant bar for seniors. NEVERMIND. Stay the f away from this place. We were so excited to finally be of age to go and this was the first experience. That awful manager needs to be FIRED!!!!!! read more

I originally visited the Cranston location but Smithfield is a bit closer to home so we gave it a shot. Plenty of parking. They have a kids menu but by peanut/treenut allergic little guy could only have unfried options as the oil had not been changed over and there was cross contamination. He had the grilled cheese and they accommodated his french fry order by baking them (which means they're frozen). He enjoyed his grilled cheese. My oldest is picky and ordered the boneless beer battered chicken tenders. He ate two out of four but wasn't a fan. I tried a bite and found them to be too greasy for my taste. I opted for Aspadillas which are basically chicken quesadillas with bacon/ranch. They give you a huge portion (4 packed with chicken). I was only capable of finishing two. My husband ate one. I took the last to go. The hubby ordered wings of course. He requested all flats no wingies. I tried one and it was really good. They were buffalo but better than typical Frank's red hot sauce. They offer a ton of sauces. Overall It's good. A bit, heavy, greasy but still good. They changed the menu from when they originally opened. I miss the reuben eggrolls and barbecue flatbread pizza. They have a decent sized menu offeeing sandwichs and salads as well. Our server was really good. She was patient with my oldest while he took forever to choose his meal choice/ beverage. read more

Had a great experience here. Was the first stop on the Lord of the Wings tour for us. I was a bit skeptical to bring my eight-year-old as it seemed like it was going to be an adult bar setting. But the environment was more than appropriate... And they even had a good kids menu. We went on a Thursday, which happens to be their tater tot special night. We tried the Canadian tots, which where a riff on poutine...they were super yummy. For the wings, we tried the angry peanut and the butter garlic jalapeño wings; seasoning was good, and they were cooked perfectly. My son had their version of chicken and waffles; he really loved the chicken, but wasn't too keen on the waffles, but I really think that's because it was a more sophisticated taste as my husband and I both like them. Also noticed that they have a lot of daily events. Tonight they were doing karaoke. And, they have live music a few times a month. Local sports are always on. There were food and drink specials for each day. And there seems to be a lot of regulars; always a good sign. Not quite a five-star joint, but or 4+ for sure. Will definitely be back! read more
