The Thirsty Beaver Hometown Pub & Grub — Restaurant in Cranston

A few clients told me about this place (Cranston location) so I was excited to see what the environment and food was all about. Extremely disappointed. Went Wednesday night, September 18th and for starters, waited about 10 minutes for our first round of drinks and 15 minutes for appetizers. Then for another 15 minutes, our original server was gone so we had to ask another server to finally help us with another round of drinks as well as entrees. She fetched our original server, who took our order of drinks and food that we waited maybe another 20 minutes for. All while the waiting was going on, my friend and I were trying to be the open minded, former servers that we are and try to understand that maybe it was cause it was busy. But one server had disappeared for the time that she did and when they were both there, they were spending a lot of time either talking behind the bar or having conversations with other guys around the bar as if there wasn’t customers to check on it attend to. With all the frustration, naturally I had asked our original server for the bill for the two drinks and the appetizer, not having one sip of our second round of drinks or a bite of our food. Instead of asking if everything was ok or sending someone over to ask, which I’ve never seen happen, she had a look of disgust and brought the bill back. I left the money on the table (still with a tip) and we made our exit. The other server chased my friend and I outside of the bar, demanding that we had to STILL pay for the new drinks. We had expressed to her that we are not going to do that because the service was terrible, not to mention we didn’t drink anything from them. She continued to argue that because they did make the drinks, we still had to pay. We expressed to her that we both worked in the restaurant industry for years and NEVER dared to ask any customers with complaints to pay for drinks or food, especially drinks or food that wasn’t touched. She then twirled her hair and condescendingly told us that we had to do it there for future references. We told her that we would most DEFINITELY never return, especially after her ignorance. Please, for your sake, tell your servers to do better. Not only was this bad service but extremely...

🍻 Welcome to the Thirsty Beaver, a bar where the ID-checking policy is apparently as loose as a pair of grandpa's old dentures. If you've ever wondered what it's like to party in a zoo, look no further! Here, you'll find a charming collection of ostentatiously underage patrons who seem to have borrowed their IDs from someone born during the Nixon administration.

🍔 As for the culinary experience, let's just say the food here is playing hide and seek with quality... and quality is winning. Describing it as 'below average' might actually be a compliment in disguise. And the prices? They're like a bad joke without a punchline.

🐌 Service? Well, imagine a snail, now slow it down; that's the pace you can expect. Sprinkle in a dash of occasional rudeness, and you've got the Thirsty Beaver's service in a nutshell. There was one good server, a beacon of hope in this wilderness, spotted during my approximately 20 expeditions to this jungle of jovial juveniles.

⏰ The kitchen apparently clocks out earlier than Cinderella at the ball. Closing at 9 PM—or maybe the server just wasn't in the mood for late orders—makes this pub's kitchen more of a culinary Cinderella, rushing home before the clock strikes.

🥊 Oh, and if you're into live action, the Beaver doesn't disappoint. It's like a ringside seat at an unsanctioned boxing match, with more fights than a pay-per-view event.

🏍️ Outside, the spectacle continues with cars and motorcycles performing burnouts as if the road were their stage and the roaring engines their applause-seeking cries for attention.

In summary, the Thirsty Beaver is the perfect place to avoid, especially if it's the only pub in your vicinity. It's a unique blend of underage revelry, culinary misadventures, and slow service, all wrapped up in a package of unintentional...

My friends and I will never go back. We went sunday during the St. Mary's feast and for what ever reason each of the 4 of us were completely ignored! First, a waitress bumped into me and made me spill my beer. No apology, no offer of a new drink. After finishing the rest of our drink, my friend went in to order a pitcher for the 4 of us and the bartender told her she had to wait because he was going on the floor. Then she saw him on the floor and asked if she could now get the pitcher, the boy looked no older than 15 years old.. He rolled his eyes at her request for a pitcher and said "yup I'll let them know". 30 minutes went by, no pitcher. My boyfriend and his friend then decided to go in and try to order one. They were in there for 45 minutes! The bartender was going down the bar taking orders and skipped over him 4+ times. After the 3rd time he became annoyed and tried to call and wave to the bar tender. The bar tender came over took the empty glass out of his hand and ignored him AGAIN! After this I became extremely annoyed and decided to ask why we were being ignored, we were not drunk or belligerent. I was ignored. Then I asked a waiter outside what was going on he said "it's really not my problem, you have to ask the bartender,". After this point we just left and took our business elsewhere. I understand it was busy, but all staff were unpleasant, swearing, rolling eyes, and having nasty attitudes. I usually don't write bad reviews, but this was absolutely appalling....
