I had a very upsetting experience at this brewery during a short visit to Providence before my flight. Because I didn’t have much time, I asked one of the servers if he could recommend a good dark beer from their selection. He refused to help and threw a coaster toward me and told me to scan the QR code myself to see the menu. I felt his tone and attitude dismissive right from the beginning.

I ordered a 4 oz pour of a dark beer. He double-checked with me, asking, “4 oz?” — and I clearly confirmed. However, he brought me a 12 oz pour instead, and I was charged for the full 12 oz. I didn’t realize the size mistake at first and had taken one or two sips when I noticed the receipt.

When I asked about the charge, he dramatically apologized in an exaggerated, almost sarcastic manner. It didn’t feel genuine at all — more like he was mocking me. He then told me not to leave a tip and slammed the receipt in front of me. I asked if the charge could be corrected to reflect the 4 oz I actually ordered, but he said no because I had already started drinking it — even though I had barely touched it. He then slammed the menu board behind me loudly, adding to the tension and discomfort.

Throughout the interaction, he repeatedly said, “Sorry?” in a tone that felt like he was mocking my pronunciation. I couldn’t help but feel there was a layer of passive aggression or microaggression behind his words and actions. It was incredibly uncomfortable, and I left the place feeling disrespected and humiliated.

I had been looking forward to trying a local Providence brewery, but this experience...

I've never been here before. Friends of mine I came with have come here before and liked it. I saw craft beer and I was sold. It has a nice ambiance to the place. I couldn't figure out the QR coaster for the menu... yeah, no. They have boardgames and such. Our server Heather was ✨✨MAGICAL!✨✨ I felt that way before I was intoxicated and I REALLY felt that way after, too! The kind of person you could hang out with doing ABSOLUTELY nothing and say WE HAD A TIIIIIIIIME TONIGHT...officer!!!😂

I got drinks I had never drank before based on their name alone, since Kentucky Bourbon Ale is my top tier. Why get something I already know? I got a flight of Malted Barley, Magic Hands, Brett Noir and Cinnamon Toastie to start. I really liked the Malted Barley and Cinnamon Toastie. The 2nd flight I liked the Black Widow best and I think I ended up getting a fancy glass of just that alone, too after. Can't tell you more about the drinks and such, I became pleasantly buzzed and HAD to tell the manager how nice his beard was. He said he made it himself!😂 I was intoxicated, but fully aware of "Don't Be Creepy" factor. But everyone CAN'T GROW ONE, I respect the accomplishment!

I had the Meatball Pretzel sandwich and it was a surprising taste of flavors. Wouldn't have thought to do these myself, but I'm....open to it. I love meatball subs, I love pretzels, I loved this. We had a waffle with ice cream for dessert and had a great time. Y'all, water is your friend. I knew before I began drinking to DRINK WATER. I was ultimately buzzed, not drunk. Will...
