Spotted Horse Tavern
Classic yet playful describes both the menu and the environment at this heart-of-it-all pub. The building’s been on the scene since 1808, and planked wood walls and floor and exposed ceiling beams evoke a spirit of yesteryear, while the spirited cocktail menu, including a farmer’s market margarita made with lime, basil, sliced cucumbers and jalapeños, feels fresh and modern. Start with a round of shareables, including Rhode Island–caught calamari and meatball spring rolls, then just try to decide between the black truffle burger, a lobster BLT, or seared diver scallops wearing foofy hats made of frizzled leeks.
