Meet the soon-to-be owner of one of Providence's oldest brewpubs
The Food Club sat down with Angel Winpenny, the owner of The Patio on Broadway in Providence and The Patio on Main in East Greenwich, which has been closed for months. She, along with her husband and other family partners, will soon Here's what she had to say about her plans for the brewpub. Q: There are a lot of restaurants up for sale around Rhode Island. Why were you interested in acquiring Trinity Brewhouse? Advertisement Winpenny: As a local Rhode Islander, I actually grew up going to Trinity. I've attended many events at the convention center and the place that we would always go before or after an event was Trinity. There was always a community feel, history, and character to the place. My brother and I would always get their wings and grab a drink before going somewhere. When I saw they were up for sale, I didn't just see it as an expansion. I felt like this building, a place that had a lot of soul and stood out in the middle of downtown, was a beautiful opportunity for me to preserve what people loved. How much did Trinity cost? Advertisement I really can't disclose that. We're also still in the process of closing on the sale. We expect to close toward the end of the month. What are your immediate plans for Trinity? We are planning some renovations, but it's not going to be a complete transformation. We love the art that they have, so there are some beautiful pieces we can't wait to showcase. At the Patio on Broadway, we rotate out some of our art from local artists every three months. That's been a special piece of the restaurant to us, so we'd like to do that at Trinity to really showcase some of the local talent. Trinity Brewhouse is one of Providence's oldest brewpubs. Suzanne Kreiter/Globe Staff What will the renovations look like? Minor updates. What they have in there right now is so unique and historical, so we want to work with what they have while giving our own personal touch. We want to give the bartenders more space, and likely replace the floors. There are certain things that need to be modernized. We'll likely reopen sometime in September. What's your background? My husband owned a parking business before COVID. I worked at Sonia's in Cranston for many years, making the sandwiches there. How will you handle the continuity of Trinity's beer production — any new partnerships with brewers or changes to recipes? We're going to keep the head brewer, What happened to The Patio on Main in East Greenwich? It closed, and then reopened, and then closed again. Google says it's permanently closed and it's no longer listed on your website. Has it permanently closed? Advertisement When we opened The Patio on Main, we realized it was such a tight space. We needed a plan B, which was a bigger space. The Patio on Broadway has been so successful because of the space, our customers have followed us to Providence, and we have tourists from out of state that come visit. For East Greenwich, I'm unsure of our plans right now. Will it reopen? I'm truly being honest when I say it's to be determined. We don't really know because we're so busy with Providence and then Trinity fell into place, which requires a lot more of our attention. What are you planning for the menu at Trinity? We want to continue that kind of comfort food, but with some elevated sandwiches like the ones we served in East Greenwich that I never put on the menu at The Patio on Broadway. For example: We had our 'Odeum,' which was fried chicken, coleslaw, tomato, gouda cheese, pickled onions, and a garlic aioli on a brioche bun. So you're putting any menu items from The Patio on Broadway onto Trinity's menu? It's going to be it's own place. I haven't really thought about what we would take from Broadway, but people do love our chicken and waffles. So we'll see. Alexa Gagosz can be reached at
