Small, but off the beaten path, however it is becoming better known. Go through the main room and go into the tight backroom or out on the secluded patio - usually have live music (acoustic guitar or similar) in back.

Drinks & Nightlife
Quiet location to watch the sunset over Narragansett Bay. Usually have quiet music, and a complimentary champagne toast as the sun sets. They have a "tiny" cannon salute as the sun sets - but I guarantee you will jump at the sound.
