Bywater

Bywater was established in summer 2015 as a neighborhood oyster and natural wine bar. Gift cards are available here!

Our menu changes almost every day. Here’s a sample menu or follow us @bywaterwarren on Instagram for all the news we remember to share. Book a table here.

Our café, The Bakeshop, lives across the street at 277 Water St. You’re welcome to use Bywater parking to visit us 8am to 3pm for treats and coffee. Fresh sourdough is available on weekends, and you can also find us at the Providence Saturday farmer’s market.

Hope to see you soon. 🙂
