Foolproof Brewing Company - PAWTUCKET — Restaurant in Pawtucket

The beer is great, the PB&J is delicious. I will continue to drink their beer, but may not be spending much time AT the brewery. It just feels different than it used to. There was one time in particular that rubbed us the wrong way and we haven't been back since. My husband and friend went on a Tuesday or Wednesday (when a lot of other breweries are closed). We were excited to see that Foolproof was open, as we love their beer. Google says they open at 12pm, great. Checked their website, it says the same thing and noted that game night (maybe it was D and D) starts at 4.

So we get there at 2:45pm and the menu is on display, so we order 3 beers. There were two people there and one of them seemed upset with us and said they usually don't do draft pours until 4pm, but he'll open the lines as a courtesy(an hour and fifteen minutes early). The rest of the time we were there was just awkward and we felt like jerks, as we could tell he was annoyed. Draft pours starting at 4 on that night wasn't on the website and the draft list was on the screen when we walked in, so of course we had no idea, so you can understand the confusion. We felt unwelcome, so we drank our beers as fast as we could and left. We'll be taking our beers to go...

Enjoyed my time at Foolproof on a Friday evening. Around 6pm we were able to snag the last open barrel to sit at outside but there was plenty of seating indoors. Happy to see there were mostly a few options for each different type of beer and that they had two spiced beers in early September--their own S'Mores Ale (a must try) and a Pumpkin Vanilla Cannoli by Shebeen. I went with a flight of the two spiced beers and two sours. Unfortunately, I was not told which sour was which and I could not tell the Mango Vango from the Passionfruit Sour.

There was a Basil & Bunny vegan food truck serving amazing looking and smelling food until ~8:30pm.

Be sure to read the directions offered on their website as your GPS may not take you down the correct street depending on the direction you're coming from. Plenty of signage to get you where you need to go and the parking lot had more than enough parking. Outside there were two large picnic tables and about 6 barrels to stand or sit at. Bathrooms were very clean and the staff was incredibly nice. Most importantly, well-behaved dog are allowed. I originally came to try the Pickleodeon Sour but it was not available, but I will be back...

My boyfriend and I walk into full proof and we were greeted with a rude bartender with purple hair. We we brought in the game Trouble with us to play a half hour before Trivia Night. We purposely went there FOR trivia night. But she gave us an attitude and "said you know Trivia starts to half an hour". I told her yes. Then she gave me a look.

She didn't even ask us what style of beers we like or prefer to give us an idea of what beers are the best. My boyfriend, new to RI, was looking for some advice but felt like a bother to her.

Then after he ordered his flight, I ordered my Porter. She asked for a credit card to hold. I gave it to her and politely asked for the peanut butter stout. She didn't even pour it. She was busy being on her phone at the bar talking to two guests. I asked her 5 minutes later and she finally poured it.

I am in the industry, I never have treated a guest the way...
