The Up River Café was born in October of 2001. Owner, Daniel King, served as general manager of several restaurants in San Francisco for the Real Restaurant Group and for The Plumpjack Restaurant Group. The Up River Café represents his vision for a classic neighborhood bistro. It offers friendly and attentive service, meals prepared simply and from fresh ingredients found locally, bartenders with an understanding of the nuances of classic cocktails, and a unique and ever-changing wine list highlighting boutique American wineries.

The Up River Café is situated on the banks of the Pawcatuck River in Downtown Westerly. Inside, beautiful high windows invite sunlight in the afternoons and moonlight reflections at night. This contrasts beautifully with the restaurant’s warm dark brick, natural wood interior, and elegant, yet understated, table settings. In one of three dining rooms, in the cocktail bar, or on the outdoor patio, guests may enjoy a three-course meal accompanied by a bottle of their favorite wine or perhaps entertain a Classic Burger with French Fries, an Old Fashioned Root Beer Float, and a bottle of their favorite micro-brew. We have always aimed to make either experience equally as enjoyable.
