TV Restaurants in Rhode Island

How to use this map

Each pin is one restaurant or bar in Rhode Island that appeared on a show we cover. Pin colour is the status we have on file — open, closed, or changed — and clicking a pin opens its dated status and a link to the full page. Where pins sit close together they collapse into a numbered cluster; click it to zoom in until the individual pins separate.

The two dropdowns above the map filter the pins and the list below in the same move, so you can narrow to, say, closed locations from one show without losing your place. The list is the accessible version of the map: it carries the same 28 records in the same order, is fully keyboard-navigable, and "Show on map" on any card flies the map to that pin.

Status is never a live feed. Each card shows the date we last checked it — for Rhode Island that is September 7, 2026 on the most recently reviewed record — and the source page it rests on. Confirm with the business before you drive anywhere.
