The Trap East Greenwich — Restaurant in Warwick

I won’t go back. I brought my son and daughter there on Saturday night. We got sat right away on the patio. The burgers was good. I stopped at the ladies room on the way out at 8 pm. I read a sign on the door that said “knock first, door is not locking.” I knocked but didn’t hear anyone. The bar was loud so if someone was inside I’m not sure I would’ve heard them. It’s a single bathroom without a stall so it’s completely open to the entire bar and patrons sitting just a few feet away. I was aware the door wasn’t locking but it didn’t say not to turn the latch. When I was done, I was couldn’t get out. It turns out the door WAS locking and I was locked inside. Thankfully I had my phone and texted my daughter. I heard her tell someone was stuck in the bathroom. I then heard a man’s voice say, (in a condescending tone), “didn’t she read the sign?” I was stunned. I thought to myself, he must think her friend stuck, not her mom. I don’t think he would’ve appreciated his mother being treated like that, and yes, I did read the poorly articulated sign. That wasn’t even important. It didn’t change the fact that I was locked inside. After a minute or so, the (manager with blondish hair/beard) opened the door with something that sounded metal and sighed loudly. When the door opened be was standing there visibly annoyed. He remained standing there, staring straight through me, and then moved over to one side a bit so I could get by. I felt like I was in trouble. I ended up saying I was sorry for getting locked in. He just looked through me and didn’t reply or say he was sorry for not having a safe bathroom for his guests. He didn’t even say he was sorry. Don’t worry about it. Nothing. I felt embarrassed and completely disrespected. The people at the bar saw the whole thing go down and sympathized with me. I spent a lot of money on burgers and drinks. I deserve privacy and safety in the bathroom. If that can’t be provided then the bathroom should’ve been closed or perhaps a properly worded sign or better yet, call maintenance person to fix it. One thing is for certain it was not my fault and it was quite obvious...

I would love to write a great review for this place because it really is an amazing pub, I really would! I’ve been wanting to bring my friends and family there. But after my last experience I cannot. Mind you I have only been twice since I moved to Warwick, the last time being this past Sunday. I’d like to give people a couple pieces of advice if going here. The first is, don’t sit at the bar around people who you do not know or even care to speak to, because you never know if there will be a bar fight that happens when you go to the bathroom. Then when you go outside to leave during the aftermath are accused of being a part of the group of people that were involved. The second piece of advice is after you leave, do not go back 10 minutes later thinking you could possibly help with identifying the party involved to the police because apparently that just makes you more of a suspect to the police. And when trying to have the them call bartenders over to identify you as so to prove you weren’t involved, be told you are blacklisted from the establishment by management for said involvement. I even went to the extent of returning the next day to clear my name because as someone who did no wrong and genuinely enjoyed the establishment why wouldn’t I try? But it was of no use. I would like to end this review by thanking the bartender Mario for sticking up for me and proving my innocence when he did not have to. Some people are willing to rise to the occasion of doing what is right. But I suppose even after you have the proof by the staff that you were not involved with anything that occurred at the establishment and try to have your name absolved from a black list, the innocent are still deemed guilty. I really hope no one ever has to feel as embarrassed and as disappointed as I feel with the outcome of...

An awful place. We called ahead to ask what time they were open until and were told 1am. However, when we got there we were told we could not enter because two of us were underage (which is understandable, but they said after 9pm and it was well before then) and said we had to be in festive dress, although we could clearly see that everyone inside was not in festive dress. Expecting a party of 12 to join us, we decided to go to the Safehouse instead. We were told we actually could go upstairs to the Trap, so we did. When we got up there, we stayed about a full hour, having fun and not drinking, and the two underage members were suddenly kicked out in a very rude way, even threatening to call the police on us. The rest of the overage party was allowed to stay (which also contained a few relatives). There were other underage people there which we recognized, but they were not asked to leave. I've gone to the Trap many times and always brought family and friends there because of how much I enjoyed it, but I along with the group I was with will most likely never return. Unprofessional and...
