Ocean Mist has been "catering to beach-goers since the 1940s," according to The Takeout.

"Folks say it's a great live music venue, and it hosts bingo and movie nights, too," The Takeout says. "One delightful surprise: It's a beloved breakfast spot and serves the queen of brunch drinks at reasonable prices."

Located at 895 Matunuck Beach Road, Ocean Mist is also surprisingly a "beloved breakfast spot and serves the queen of brunch drinks at reasonable prices."

The Takeout's annual roundup featured bars ranging from neighborhood taverns to live music venues, with one selection representing each state.
