What Cheer Tavern

Its a great little bar with cool food options. I tried the bacon wings very good flavor but for $10 i wish they were bigger. We also tried the nachos, and thats why the rating of only 3. The chili had good flavor but the chips sucked. They tasted old/stale. Its not that hard to make fresh.
The place was small but it worked for me and the bartender Eric was very friendly.

I've only been once, but I really like the feel of this spot! It looks very small from the outside, but it's surprisingly spacious  with a nice big bar and high-top tables as well as tables in an inclosed outdoor area. It's decorated in a comfortable, welcoming way, and I totally forgot I was on Allens Ave while I was inside :)

The bartender was so nice! Very warm but not too chatty.

They carry lots of local products: Thomas Tew, Sons of Liberty, I don't know...a bunch of others I can't think of right now....but yay!

It sounds like they have some pretty solid bar food, although I didn't see or try any. But I would like to some time soon!

I'm glad this is here because it fills a real neighborhood void!

I had drinks with a friend at What Cheer Tavern today after work. I didn't know what to expect but had hopes that it would be good since there is such a lack of good bars on this side of town.

The beer selection was excellent! Narragansett seasonal was the only crap beer on the menu. Everything else was from greats like Stone. They had an excellent Scotch Ale the name of which escapes me now.

We also tried a few things from their food menu. The bacon wings were okay. I REALLY liked their kimchi deviled eggs. Good flavor there. Didn't quite mesh with my scotch ale but no big deal.

The place is small and very clean. The thing that surprised me was how well lit it was. From the outside it looks like the kind of place you might go to hide, much like a cave. Not so.

Definitely my favorite neighborhood bar to date.

Dave the bartender (and maybe the owner) is very knowledgeable about his beers and local brewer's scene. He told me one of his distributors is in talks with Dogfish to maybe start selling in Rhode Island again!!!!!!

Two thumbs up (two pints up anyway:)
