Tavern 6 two 1 is
located at 621 Pound Hill Road in North Smithfield Rhode Island. As
we went inside, the owner Monica greeted us with an enthusiastic
smile. Our table overlooked a recently completed outside eating
area. Multiple wide screen TV’s excellent for watching sporting events
are located throughout the Tavern. TV’s next to the outside seating
area can be innovatively rotated to allow viewing from either inside or outside
tables
The craftbrew focused
décor sets the tone that the Tavern is THE place to go for some great
beers. Framed black and white photographs of local breweries are
strategically placed high on the walls. Empty growlers, also from local
breweries, are placed on shelves surrounding the tables serving as vases.
The Taverns
reasonably priced menu features a variety of starters, soups and salads,
sandwiches, wraps, burgers and entrees complete with suggested wine pairings. Pizza
and calzones are also offered. 6 two 1
also has a promotion schedule from Sunday through Thursday offering food and
drink combination specials.
Our waitress brought
us the beer and ale menu, which is one of the best we have seen to
date! Offerings were listed by style and had uniquely featured icons
of pint glasses, bottles and cans representing how each beer was
served. The Alcohol by Volume or APV (the percentage of alcohol in
the beer) and International Bittering Units or IBU’s (a gauge of the beers
bitterness) figures were printed next to each offering. The beer
selection is unusually plentiful with16 drafts being poured today. We selected Newport Storm Summer Wheat,
Harpoon IPA and Ithaca Flower Power IPA. None disappointed and were
truly refreshing on this 92 degree New England day!
Lunches were ordered
from both the sandwich and entrée menus. Ken chose the Chicken Bacon Wrap,
Charlie ordered the Chicken Caesar Wrap, Jim had Fish & Chips and Gray the
Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. All foods are cooked to order with fresh
ingredients and were very good. The cole slaw side was very unique
featuring large cuts of cabbage with creamy and delicious dressing.
In summary, Tavern 6
two 1 is bright and cheery inside and out with a friendly waitstaff and an
enthusiastic and engaged owner. The outstanding beer menu and suggested
wine pairings with the menu offerings are sure to please even the most
discriminating beer or wine enthusiast.
