    Overview

    This for-sale restaurant and bar has been newly renovated, with improvements that include a new roof and siding and a totally renovated, updated interior. The property is configured for food-and-beverage service and has previously been approved for outdoor dining, offering flexibility for day-to-day operations.

    Located at 294 Waterman Avenue in Smithfield, Rhode Island, the site sits in a mixed suburban setting. The property’s zoning is R20, which restricts the allowable commercial use to a food and beverage operation.

    For operators or buyers seeking a permitted food-and-beverage concept, the zoning alignment is a key practical factor. With the recent exterior and interior renovations and prior outdoor dining approval already on record, the building is positioned to support a restaurant and bar use without requiring the next owner to start from scratch.
