Taproot Brewing Co. 909 East Main Road, Middletown, RI 02842

"Stopped by to pick up a bottle of the the Taproot Imperial Pumpkin beer. It exceeded my expectations. Great notes on the front and back ends. Smooth brew with some high content so sip it slow. I bought a nice taproot keg glass and I love that as well."

"Whether it’s an afternoon relaxing in the vines or a night out to dinner, Newport Vineyards has quickly become my favorite place on the island!! Love the variety of wines and the hubby loves the brews!!! Thanks for making such a fun and welcoming environment!"

"Went here for my bachelor party mid-Saturday. Arrived got a 11am reservation (opens at 11). Was seated upstairs and our waiter Dave was incredibly knowledgeable! We had many questions and he answered them well and had very good suggestions with a few free wine “samplers”. Had the Ooey-gooey with added Bacon and the pesto was AMAZING! Zuchinni app equally good. The calamari was the BEST calamari I have ever had!! Only complaint was that as the morning/afternoon became busier was that our waiter became overwhelmed with his assigned seating and didn’t check in on us as often as we would have liked- we were looking for more wine and water and had to wait about 20 mins to get him over to our table. I absolutely will come back but I wish y’all had more servers during the “Saturday rush”"

"Well, if you want bad food, mediocre service and wine that tastes like vinegar, this is your place! I’m not sure what this company is known for, I guess the beer is good, but the one that was available to order was acceptable at best. The pretzels came out soggy, the salad looked like it had been chopped in a bowl like in a to go shop, and the porterhouse steak shown in the picture was tough. No steak knife given to cut through it, you just have to use the butter knife.. We ordered the dessert board, lord help us. Two different offerings of “gourmet” gummy bears, some nut chocolate thing that barely looked presentable, a snickerdoodle, which was unfortunately the best thing on the plate, a Baby Yoda looking chocolate chip and lemon (huh?) mini cupcake and a glorified chocolate covered little Debbie cake with some gold bubbles on top.. The dessert plate was “under the sea” themed. Maybe it should stay there. The pretzels we ordered were forgotten and we had to ask for them, the server brought out the bill before the dessert, and each plate seemed like it took forever to come out. They weren’t that busy, but maybe with the cookout they had, maybe they were all on their last legs? With so many places to eat, I would look elsewhere. I was hoping to like this place, but alas, we left unhappy."

"FANTASTIC & FABULOUS experience! We have been several times to Newport Vineyards but have not eaten there nor tried the brews at Tap Root. This was a first for us and we were completely blown away by the food. The beer was equally as delicious and we highly recommend trying the Tap Root as well as touring the vineyard as well."
