Grey Sail Brewing is an awesome local brewery located in downtown Westerly. It’s hidden back yard bungalow is the coolest part! Not only do they offer delicious wood fired pizza and live music, they are dog friendly! They also offer local wine on tap if you’re not in the mood for beer. The staff is very friendly and kind. I’d recommend this for any visit. The backyard games, including a bocci court, corn hole, dart board, and board games keep the party going! I’d highly recommend this as a go to location for a good time!

We had an educational and inspirational visit to the Tomaquag Museum today. We had a friend visiting from Germany and she is very interested in Native American culture and history. We heard about this museum and decided to make the drive to see it. The drive was beautiful (another story) and we were greeted by staff that were indigenous people. Our guide, Lindsey, was articulate, enthusiastic and informative. She led us from one exhibit to another explaining them with a focus on civil rights and justice. We learned many things about indigenous people and her tribe. The museum is small and loaded with interesting exhibits. The best part was the commitment and excitement of the staff. I highly recommend the visit.

South County Center for the Arts

Designed to promote the local arts community and offer accessible arts and education programs for local residents.

Reviewed By barryn680 - Coventry, United States

yes,this a true Art location inside an old historic courthouse made of Stone. They have a lot of different great events including many music events that are just outstanding. A lot of the events are posted outside by the entrance. Or just go inside and get an up to date list of What is going on. Tickets are reasonable prices and they have a limited amount of refreshments. It funds other art and education programs which we should all keep going anyway.A great cause to keep the arts in the area going ...You can go online to see what events are going on or are coming in the near future.We even years ago went to a New Years event here and it was a lot of fun.

Went to a birthday party at Center and it was wonderful. The person who did the tour/demo for the kids was fantastic and took his time to explain about the fish and turtles over and over again, the kids were 7! Would highly recommend it as there is plenty to see and plenty to do.
