Downtown Westerly is really nice - it's a short strip with a nice downtown feel with Wilcox park running right behind it. There's several restaurants and nice little bars in the area, a few antique and curiosity shops, and a small movie theater. Grey Sail brewery is right around the corner, as well as Cottrell brewery right over the river in Pawcatuck (more or less a 5 minute drive between the two). There's the Malted Barley on main street, it's a decent sized brew pub with a good variety of craft beers and some pretty good pretzels. If it's not too cold out you could go for a walk in Wilcox park to work up an appetite, it's a really nice walk around the park even in the winter and they usually have some sort of festive decorations hanging up.

There's a couple art galleries downtown as well.

Cottrell Brewery is unfortunately no more ...

The rest of downtown Westerly is still there though and busy/beautiful as ever. A quick addition to the list is the Skating rink on Main Street, just beyond The Bridge Restaurant. As long as its not raining, its usual open for business.

On street parking is a bit of a pain but there's a pair of public lots on High Street (one next to the post office and the other on Canal St, go under the tracks and turn left) along with the garage next to the Washington Trust Building/opposite the Wilcox Library.
