Dawnlands — Restaurant in Westerly

Have you ever wanted a beautiful & comfortable place to ... meet a friend or lover and be able to talk and hear each other while listening to great music...and to "travel the world" by tasting delicious wines...or enjoy a beer or sake while savoring great cheese, salami, sardines, olive, crackers...maybe sit on a romantic patio by the River, or at cozy indoor tables where you can also meet new and interesting people? Well meet Dawnlands! Go here if you want to all the above, if you want to feel realness, to be welcomed by genuine, creative, caring owners...if you want a non-hyped place to hang out before or after dinner or a movie, or just a casual and welcoming place to visit.

Great new wine bar that has a very chill and welcoming vibe. My wife and I checked it out last night when we were looking for a cool place to get a beer or something in Westerly. There was a very talented musician playing just the right mood for a relaxed Friday night.

Best new spot in Westerly, hand down. The secret riverside patio is the most romantic spot in town, maybe even all of Rhode Island. Overall vibe is Parisian wine bar meets 1970s California surf art gallery. Very well curated wine list and sake menu. I had the organic orange wine from Umbria Italy and the Heiwa Junmai sake from Japan. Both incredible. They have a very small but, again, very well curated snack menu. Can def recommend the organic sourdough crackers, Portuguese sardines, and Grecian Olives. Great service. Great Atmosphere. Great flavors. 10/10...
