“cheap drinks, great staff!“

“Great time the Kingsman rocks🤟“

“My first experience here. I have to say the service (Megan) was amazing! She knew everything on the menu and then some. Was an excellent Bartender . The portions were BIG and delicious. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed“

“Definitely would recommend“

“Savannah was a very friendly server who came to check on us frequently. Food was great and always love the vibe here.

Ps..your public restrooms are ATROCIOUS!! Whoever is in charge of these should fully hang your head in shame!.. NO SOAP! , garbage cans kicked over, no toilet paper, feces on the wall..

Great food great atmosphere will be back“

“We hosted our daughter’s first birthday at Portside Tavern, and it was truly the best experience from start to finish. The event space was spacious, clean, and perfect for a private celebration. Set-up was easy, the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the food was excellent. A special shout-out to Caroline, who was wonderful to work with and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and would highly recommend Portside Tavern for any private event. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“We had a great dinner al fresco with a beautiful view of the sunset. Our reservations were for 730 & we had to wait about half an hour but it was a busy Friday night. The food was delicious, drinks were good and staff were busy but very accommodating. I would go back.“

“We had such a wonderful experience! Our waitress, Natalie, was incredibly sweet, kind, and attentive. Her service was amazing and really made our visit enjoyable. If the rest of the staff is always as welcoming and friendly as Natalie was, we’ll definitely be coming back! 💕“

“We just stopped by for an afternoon cocktail after a long walk along the river. Very cool place and our bartender is awesome! Her drink skills are on point!“

“I have gone to all the Fiesta location’s. This is by far my favorite. Great atmosphere. Good was great as with all locations. Katarina was very friendly and helpful with the selections. She checked in on us in a timely fashion. Would recommend“

“Consistently the best live music spot in Providence these days. One of the last great Blues/Jazz/Rock clubs in Providence and all of R.I.“

“Wow! Glad we drove to Fall River to try this place. I love Mozambique and usually I am bummed because most places serve subpar Mozambique. Not Casa. Their Mozambique was not only seasoned and spicy but it was delicious and perfection. Will be back! Great service and food.
Perfect for a date, for a family, or even just by yourself. Bar was loud but there was a game on so not a big deal as there is a door and a big wall between both dining room and bar area. Saw a pool table. Nice!

Edit/Update: Just left. Like right now. It was not as good. It was better and even perfect. We asked who cooked and the server said she did and we were already impressed and that pushed the whole meal and experience over the top. Great staff and more than amazing food.
We got the arancini again and were very satisfied. 3 huge fried balls of stuffed rice in a delicious sauce for $8! Shared a Fish Combo platter. Huge fried juicy shrimp, great scallops, the calamari (something I tend to not like) was perfect. Chewy but tender and crispy. The fish was flaky, juicy, and the exterior was crunchy. The chef is either a witch or one of my favorite cooks. Ever. I mean this.

“Everything we had to eat was incredible! The drinks were also phenomenal! and the service was impeccable! Looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu“

“Great restaurant, perfect area.“

“Absolutely love the outdoor dining and red sangria! Always a great time when we go!“

“Fun times great place !!! Live music !!“

“What Cheer is home to a lot of people in the Providence area. I've been coming here for years and years and still love it. Great drinks, amazing food, and fun and friendly staff. Nothing beats a summer night on their patio either watching the game while playing corn hole or watching actual live music. Feels like being at your best friends summer BBQ party! Did I mention they have that too? You have to go on a Sunday to get the infamous Horseman BBQ, you won't be let down.“

“We were in the area and saw that our friends in Autumn Lies Buried were playing here so we stopped in for the show.
Nice intimate venue with plenty of bar seating plus couches if you really want to stretch out. The sound was great and the drink prices were comparable to other music venues I have attended.
There is a city parking lot right next door but it is paid parking. There is plenty of free street parking around the venue.“

“My dad and I went to Jack’s Family Restaurant this weekend. My dad and I live in Pennsylvania, but with recent family events we’ve found ourselves in Rhode Island a few times within the last month. My dad said Jack’s looked “the same as it always did,” and he smiled the entire time. We ordered the little necks casino, clam cakes, clam chowder, and seafood zuppa (and we splurged and got the lobster). Everything was great! We thank the staff and chefs for a wonderful experience. Everyone was kind. The food was delicious, and quickly delivered to us to be devoured. We had a wonderful experience & will definitely be back. ❤️☺️“

“The Yacht Club is a hidden Rhode Island gem! The bands are great. Highly recommend for a fun time.“

“A wonderful and chill spot for drinks! Usually it’s a very quiet mellow vibe which is perfect for conversation one-on-one or a small group. My favorite drink is the mezcal old fashioned , and they also have an impressive selection of whiskeys and other spirits and great beer list as well. Nice to have a gem like this in Cranston! 🍻🥃🍸“

“If you’re looking for a local dive bar this is your spot. They do have bands play and have a pool table as well. There is a small area with seating to hangout and would say that the parking lot is on the smaller end so be mindful of that.“

“One of the oldest pubs in the United States, just not the same name lol. The Son's of Liberty drank here! They still serve Half-Yards! A beer drinkers Mecca they have dozens of bottles and draft options. Priced right. One caveat, they haven't painted since the Son's drank there so keep a sense of humor. Great place for some suds. I've been a customer for over thirty years.

Dietary restrictions: As long as it's beer or whiskey you are good!

Kid-friendliness: Not!“

“Moved in across the street recently and have been in a couple of times already and will definitely be back often. nice place, great food and terrific staff. 👍“

“My waitress was great and bring Murphy, my gsd, was a great treat. The Gorgonzola burger was tasty and made to my request. The club fries were awesome and the rest brought home. Never have I brought fries home.“

“If you don’t like this place I don’t know what to tell you. It’s packed with old Portuguese guys who all know each other from the Azores drinking at 1PM. I am very Irish but it is far better than anything I’ve found in my ancestral homeland. 5 Stars. Use it for drinking and food.“

“This place is awesome! we got the ham dinner and chicken sandwich and they were both delicious. Our 2 year old liked it too.“

“great local spot to get together with old and new friends“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“We are sorry it took us so long to discover The Square Peg. Cozy, old colonial vibe, delicious fall sangria and scrumptious comfort food. Our first visit was a perfect complement to our day visiting farm stands and enjoying a beautiful October Saturday. A bonus is that the location could rival Salem in October minus the crowds. Just perfect. We loved the chili with sour cream, cheese and onions on top, the patty melt and the ahi tuna tacos. All were delicious and reasonably priced. We look forward to visiting many times.“

“My family has been going to the Son’s since my grandfather (Papa Lou) moved across the street over a decade ago. We hosted my daughters 16th birthday party in the upstairs hall and had a wonderful time. Everyone is very welcoming and I just love the popcorn served. It is a great place!“

“I had Portuguese steak yesterday me and my friend but let me tell you something it was the best Portuguese steak I've ever had and the people are fantastic especially our waitress she was awesome if you want a good Portuguese steak this is the place to go thanks for everything enjoyed it“

“My first time going was Saturday before Easter I enjoyed the drinks 🙌affordable. The atmosphere was like if I was home hanging out with family lol everyone was nice no drama music is good too didn’t try the food yet but will definitely be coming back to hangout again and try the food 😂🤞🏽🙏🏽“

“good company..great barmaid..friendly people..“

“Smokin butts and drinkin gin and juice on the Narragansett. Also they flash the outdoors lights every night and occasionally set off fireworks at 8:30pm for the children's hospital across the river before they go to bed. Good peeps. 👌“

“atmosphere was cute... service great. food was subpar. paid $60 for a steak sandwich that looked & tasted like a TV dinner, appetizer that tasted like canned chicken soup, and fries that were definitely under the heater for too long“

“My go-to order in most places would be a Reuben. The quality of the meat, bread and the balance with the sauerkraut, sauce & cheese say a lot about how the restaurant approaches their food. The 02878 is the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now I will have to find another go-to for other restaurants because they will pale in comparison to Localz 02878.“

“This restaurant was amazing! We had a family group of 9 and everyone loved their meal, which is very rare in our family! We ordered several appetizers but the burrata was a stand out. The half roast chicken is my personal favorite. Desserts are tasty too.“

“fun and friendly atmosphere.. excellent food with average prices. excellent drinks with extraordinary bartenders. great place to meet with friends and meet GOOD PEOPLE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“My first time here and I can surprisingly say I was impressed! Tim was absolutely amazing he was a gem will be back for him. Best customer service interaction I have experienced coming from a former customer service worker. Food was great and it was just an amazing dinner.“

“Awesome employees and SanGria!“
