Fun place to hang out and enjoy a mudslide. Even on a dog day afternoon. Much activity and shenanigans going on. ?

Great bar, great nights, great music and great drinks!! Love this place. Good Good vibes and sing alongside! It made the week. Even lost my jacket and they were VERY helpful. Hard working bartenders and excellent music and choices of music. U can be inside or outside. Away from the noise or a part of it and ohhhh the views!!! FUN and don't forget all the people were NICE!!! ( and Dock games too!!)

Best bar on block island. The bartenders know what they are doing and serve everyone with a smile. Most of the bartenders that I came across on the island were miserable. The live music along with the harbor view makes this place a great spot for a night out.

Great outdoor bar. Right near one of the places where the boats dock.This is more towards The Oar which is on the other side of the island. A good couple mile walk from the center of town.

Great spot and cold beer. But, surly and inattentive bartenders don’t make for a success. Thursday 9.16 in the afternoon. We stayed for one and went next door.

From the moment we walked up to the restaurant we were already confused, no hostess or hostess table. Told we could get take out or wait till 6 to sit down. Take out selection was nothing special so we decided to wait till 6 to get the dinner menu. 6 o'clock comes around and we seat ourselves and don't get waited on for 20 minutes as waiters and waitresses passed us again and again. Finally, the bartender has to come over and tell the waiter to get us menus. Menus come and they turn out to be the same as the take out menu. Another 15 minutes pass and the bartender has to come over again and take our order this time. A little bit later a waitress asks for our order which we told her we already ordered with the bartender. Then, about an hour passes and the bartender has to go check on our food and it's not even made yet. Finally about 15 minutes later we get it and no waitress or waiter comes to see how we're doing or if the food was even good until the end. Two stars because the food was good but not good enough for an hour and 15 minute wait. Bartender deserves raise.

Stopped by the other day with family. It was quite busy with COVID going on and for a Saturday. The staff was really moving and there was some seating. The staff made sure the sanitize everything. It has a good view and wide selection of drinks. Reasonably priced for Block Island. We came here twice and would totally come again. They are right behind Payne's and the taffy shop. They are also located on a dock.
This place is violating so many COVID rules, it's upsetting. Almost no one in this bar was wearing a mask and the bar was completely packed, there was no place to distance from anyone. Also I should have listened to previous reviews because this bar definitely welcomes a RACIST clientele, as I witnessed (the very few) patrons who were people of color being treated poorly. Overall the vibe here does not reflect the positive vibe of Block Island and I would suggest taking your business elsewhere.

Great location, great music, great beer, terrible mudslides, a lot of patrons not wearing masks while they are walking around. Staff does not seem to care. Will not serve people under 25 years old after 9pm.

I would honestly love to give this bar 0 stars. The manager needs to work on her customer service and frankly her attitude. My friends and I were well over 21 and she took our licenses for 10 minutes to “verify” them. When she came back she refused one of my friends because she “felt uncomfortable that it was a real ID” even though she was 22. If she had a nicer tone we would’ve been fine but she cane back nasty for no reason. My friends and I were not drunk, as this was our first drink, I could see her having a tone if we were rowdy.

I have a review from many years ago for Payne's Dock.And I'll say the same. Good people good drinks some staff could be a bit faster however it's a solid place. Block Island is made up of many and most places including Mahogany Shoals seem to welcome all. I'll be back soon and report differently if needed...So I went back on Sunday evening 7/19/20.$12 cups of ice with a splash of vodka and Coffee liquor Is hardly a mudslide...unfortunately for me I left a tip also. Didn't feel welcome this time back however I didn't see or hear what other reviews have written. The bar was not too busy but had a crowd mixed population and all seemed to be having a decent time.

If I could give this bar 0 i would. The "manager" was so rude for no reason. Wouldn't accept my ID even though I'm well of age. Don't work at a bar if you don't want to deal with people drinking. She was snippy and rude for no reason at all. Honestly not worth the annoyance. If you're reading this "Karen" I hope you got the pole out of your a***
