Stopped by last Friday after hearing many good things. The outside of the bar, like others have said gives you no idea about the goodies that lie within. Inside there are dart boards and other games, a long bar with a separate parallel set of stools behind it with their own long table. The atmosphere when I went was almost exclusively locals and felt semi-divey. The selection was very very good with several things I have not seen on tap locally before. I have a Nebraska Hop God, but a lot of style were represented. The prices were very reasonable. The Hop God was only $5. Service was both friendly and knowledgable. If I am in the area, my first stop is Julian's but this is a close second. I love the homey/local atmosphere and that alone is worth a stop.

As someone who's gotten into craft beer at a hardcore level over the past few years, this is the place to be. They have about 20 craft beers on tap - reasonably priced -including high quality imports such as Delirium. Many of the beers are not easy to find at the liquor store, so I always find something I haven't tried before.

This place looks like a dive but doesn't behave like one. The bartenders are knowledgeable, attentive, and always serve the beer in the appropriate glass. The "regulars" there generally keep to themselves but are friendly. There is no food, however there's a sandwich shop next door and as far as I know, they are open to bringing in outside food in general.

I gotta say if I lived or worked a little closer, I could see myself there 3-4 nights a week . As it stands, it's a special treat every month or so.

Track 84 is known for their craft selections, both draft & bottle. Kind of hard to find if you're not familiar with the area, however it is worth the trip. Their draft menu is also updated daily online, so plan ahead. Selections change often so theres always something new to discover!

The way a bar should be. Not sure what more needs to be said. As a craft-beer newbie, I was intimidated to go here initially due to glowing descriptions on BA, and now I regret not coming here sooner. Regardless of who is tending the taps, they offer to have you taste the beer before you order a glass. As for glassware, you don't need to ask for "a pint," because you will get the proper glassware for the pour, regardless of the quantity. The brews on tap are well-described and varied. I've been lucky enough to be there when the extremely knowledgeable Dave or Donna was the tender, and service has been outstanding. They are equally welcoming whether you are someone there on your first visit, or one of the many regulars. When I ordered one of their brews on tap, Donna actually talked me out of it, and gave me a taste to affirm her recommendation. The clientele is eclectic, and conversations rise easily. My job causes me to travel constantly, and I seek out brew pubs wherever I go. This easily is The Best. My most recent visit was May 16, 2012. At the risk of repeating myself: the way a bar should be.

Thought I would check this place out after reading several BA reviews. I went here in broad daylight, and I was still a bit sketched-out by the location, but whatever. Dark but chill atmosphere inside with friendly locals and a great bartender. Free popcorn too - score! The draft selection was higher-end, but a bit random. I had a Clown Shoes Supa Hero and a nice '09 Victory Old Horizontal barleywine. Prices were decent, but note that this place is cash only. Definitely worth checking out if you've got time to kill around a flight out of T.F. Green.

Excellent place. Stopped here upon arriving in RI via plane per the recommendation of multiple BA's. Good (but not huge) tap selection that seems to rotate quite a bit, good bottle selection, delicious popcorn. Didn't order any food. Knowledgeable bartender who has tried a lot of beer from around the world. We had the place pretty much to ourselves, which we enjoyed. Small place that's kind of hard to find but worth the effort. Will definitely come back next time I'm in the area. FYI not open on Sundays!!!

Track 84 is one of the best beer bars in RI. Don't let the outside apprearance of the bar fool you. The selection of beers is extensive. If you are not sure what to drink- John, the bartender there will surely pick one for you based on your preferences. He is very knowledgeable on the beers they serve. The bar offers both tap and bottle selections that are reasonably price. I believe the food menu is limited. There is no kitchen there. This place is definitely worth the stop for a beer lover. We will be going back.

Transcribed from notes dtd Sa, 15 Jan 2011.

Located hard by the railroad tracks at the end of a dead end street, my buddy was telling me that this would be the perfect stop for a traveling beer afficianado since it it quite near the airport and just off of I-95.

An enclosed porch was out front and led to the front door. Entering, the long, straight blonde wood bar was to the immediate left. The back bar was initially wood and mirrors, followed by the lone cooler, then a mini kitchen area. A short bar with stools ran down the first half on the centerline. To the right of the entry were a small both fronted by a table and chairs followed by a couple more tables and chairs, an ATM, a satellite jukebox, a “Classic Arcade” video game and a few more tables. Beyond all of that was the game area with two English-style dart boards followed by the lavs, Women’s on the left, Men’s on the right.

Service: OK, I’m [in]famous. I buy that. But when I walk in and the bartender has a picture of the two of us his I-phone … !??! Outta control! What next?

Beer: Eighteen (18) rotating taps plus a Delirium Tremens tower complete with a ceramic pink elephant. A two-door cooler of eclectic bottles divided the back bar area. These were not your everyday beers, either, with lots of Belgian, English and American beers in evidence and they were also rotating. Finally, “Sample Four Draft Beers – 4 oz. each” – price depending on selection.

I love this place! Down a small dead end road by the tracks. Nice hole in the wallish feel to the place.A couple of tv's to catch some local sports on. Somewhat on the small side, but, big on selection. Awesome draft list that rotates quite often. Tons of Belgians, and even a cask offering(the last I had was Mayflower Pale Ale with Citra hops). Bottle selection is also great, though I don't usually pay it much attention. The staff are very friendly,helpful, and knowledgeable. Great service, selection and prices. A must visit if in the area!
