“great , friendly, safe, fun amosphere“

“Awesome staff cute place love the light fixtures in the bar area! .65 wings on Monday you can't really beat that and add like 30 flavors!“

“Unattentive bar staff. Friday night ,wasnt too busy but the blond couldn't be bothered with us. Food sucked and im pretty sure there are drug deals going on at the front bar.“

“Laura was the absolute best server. She was such a delight! Would come back just to chat with her.“

“Great food and drinks! Customer service is on point as well.“

“What can I say? Avenue N is definitely one of the best in the state for farm to table comfort food and cocktails. However they really outdid themselves with, what I would call, the new “it” dinner option- the birrio burger. Every bite has flavor & every bite melts in your mouth. I hope this becomes a weekly special due to its uniqueness. My “pear-suasion” drink complimented it perfectly. As always the staff there is top notch. Definitely make a reservation for an epic experience. PS please change up your dessert menu. We need some new creations.“

“I have to say today was one of the best corned beef dinners I've ever had. Perfectly prepared and a great cut provided, please consider this as a frequent special, all 3 of us discussed going back for a second,. keep up the great work!“

“We had a retirement party today. I've been at Assados twice before, with friends, and I recommended the place to my family for my niece's birthday. The food was very good, the service excellent. Thank you, Kennedy! The owner always comes out to greet his guest and make sure everything is what is expected!“

“Great place to hang. Owners are amazing and the staff are some of the best in the business! Great selection of beers and spirits, free pinball and spectacular decor if you’re a horror fan. Where else can you go and see a picture of an autographed foot?“

“Fantastic Food and service“

“Love every time when I go the staff is always so friendly and remembers that we go there a lot. Very friendly and fun atmosphere. The food is great , and it’s very relaxed.“

“I highly recommend this place if your looking for something do over the weekend especially the weird weather thats been going on lately its been a great place to hang out they got a good selection of pinball machines and classic arcade games that you know and love like donkey kong,pac man etc and I find it awsome to be able to play what you want as many hours as you want until they close.“

“Great place to hang out and chill. good cigar selection.“

“PARTIED HARD HERE IN THE 70,S.!! STOPPED IN CHILLED..!! OK BAR...!“

“Fantastic customer service from Josh!“

“best little bar in providence“

“Great food, cigars and staff. A must stop!“

“We very much enjoyed the food and house mocktails but stayed for the atmosphere. A little bit of NOLA brought to PVD“

“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.“

“a very quaint bar, that screams fun!“

“This was our third year stopping for lunch on our annual trip to RI and have LOVED the pretzel sandwiches every time! Was a tad disappointed to see them downsize their pretzel size since last year so over all sandwich was a bit smaller, but still delicious! Love the chicken salad, BLT, and Cali chicken! Soo yummy! Please note that they do not offer changing tables in the bathrooms, so had a hard time changing my toddler after our lunch. Otherwise nice experience!“

“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.“

“My Shawn’s Pub is a fantastic place to gather with friends and make new ones“

“Just tried this charming spot on Thursday and have fallen in love with the drinks, atmosphere, and service. The location is prime (right on South Main) and the inside is cozy, full of character, and gives off speakeasy vibes. The woman who welcomed and served us was more than willing to answer any questions about the drink menu, which had the perfect mix of cocktails (ranging from fruity to herbal and beyond), beer and wine. We ordered the Limoncello Spritz and punch — both tasted AMAZING, plus were poured into pretty glassware (aka making this place a hotspot for IG-worthy pics, which our hostess also advised us on regarding best lighting!). All in all, The Walnut Room is PVD’s newest gem and offers stunning, safe (remember: wear your mask!) service and space, which makes these not-so-normal times feel pretty special. Go support this new biz/bar on South Main!! 😍“

“Gilligan’s is GREAT! Been my local for a number of years…the owner Amanda has tastefully updated it since buying it, yet kept the great friendly, welcoming feeling. Nice wine list, local crafts & a good place to catch a game! Give it a try“

“I had the opportunity to Dj at the last resort last night. I was blown away by the level of hospitality from the door staff to the ownership. It was refreshing to see the entire staff with smiles on their faces all night!! The late night pizza slices hit the spot too!!

10 out of 10“

“The news cafe is the place to be the bands are great place. , Keep up the good work Johnny“

“Been here for carribean nights and power nights before and always had a great time. But it was my first emo night ever last night, and I had so much fun!!! The lights, banger music, the energy was amazing. The host and DJ were awesome. Everyone was dressed up in cool gear or emo/scene fits.

Gotta say overall alchemy is amazing with atmosphere. When I come I don't feel like I'm always in the same venue, they switch up themes and lighting pretty well. Always had a good time!“

“This is by far my favorite place to go on a Friday or Saturday. The cocktails are well thought out, the vibe is casual, fun and always enjoyable. I love bringing friends to this spot with the hope they enjoy it as much as we do and continue to spread the good word.“

“Such a great place so welcoming, friendly, overall you can just be yourself. People there give it the atmosphere that it is and always has been.. strongly recommend stopping in. The bothers are great alongside Rosieband others...feels like home♥️“

“This bar has such a huge collection including alternative drinks to alcohol. They are always involved with community outreach which makes spending money there even better. While it is really expensive compared to other LGBT bars, the atmosphere, the selection, and staff make it worth it. There is also outdoor seating and affordable sangrias which are perfect for Sunday Funday!“

“Ogie’s is the quintessential 21-to-40 something hipster Providence hangout spot. You can eat at the restaurant without alcohol (or age restriction). Its charm comes from a laissez-faire feel: people with dogs, various random bar happenings, high-low culture banter. Food is exceptionally prepared American cuisine with zero health consciousness. I would highly recommend going. It is wicked unlike a local bar, though.“

“Friendly atmosphere, awesome beer. Should definitely stop in at the brewery, and ask for at your local beer store. Two of my local stores have started carrying Whalers Rise since I asked about it.“

“Very cool place with great music and staff. Monday night jazz is awesome!“

“Best bar in Pawtucket!! Everyone is so friendly, great food, best bartenders, and cheap drinks.“

“Been going to Dave's for decades and always a good experience, even if just looking to play pool and drink. Ask for Mike the bartender. I miss the free popcorn but that was pre-covid.“

“Do not live here if you care about your car. On two separate occasions my car was vandalized and my roommates car was stolen from the off street parking. The landlords have done nothing to improve the security.“

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

“My daughter and I have been wanting to go here since the start of the pandemic! Finally made it. It is the cutest bar. Small inside but heated patio outside. We went when they first opened on NYE. The most friendly staff I’ve ever encountered. The cocktails were delicious. Definitely going back in the warmer weather •“

“I wish I could relive last night. What a blast watching UFC there. My drinks made tasty and fast. Those ladies work hard and efficiently. That guy constantly refilling ice everywhere. Very very clean. No rowdy crowd. Friendly security guard. I'll be going here for sporting events that I can attend from now on. I know it was a late night but I do wish y'all left the volumes on the TV's ON for 5 or so more minutes to listen to the quick after fight interview still in the octagon... gotta leave that volume on after a main event! See y'all on the 4'th of next month. BTW, I went by myself.. my friends were being lazy and or busy.. but I made 5 new friends while there lol. 🤙👍👍 see you next UFC“

“Great place! Wish we lived closer so we could come again! Charlie was AMAZING ? ? Very knowledgeable about the drinks, great personality too. We came in right before a small lunch rush so Charlie had a chance to chat with us for a little bit. Food was great, cheese burger sliders and smoked hickory wings were my favorite! Hush puppies were good too! The seasonal Candy Apple drink was delicious! The only critique I would give would be to add maple/honey/hot honey to their bacon brussel sprouts (I got a side of honey to add, which kicked 'em up the notch I needed) Overall, great experience and food!“

“Great place to eat. Phenomenal atmosphere. Owners are great people. Very cozy and welcoming. Really treat you like family.“

“Once you realize that fast and smiling service is not really their thing then you’ll settle in just fine . Classic downtown dive bar vibe with a decent beer selection at very reasonable prices. I could see myself returning here for sure .“

“Rock’s is the place for good drinks, billiards, and darts. The owner, Cynthia, and staff are fantastic. Cynthia and her staff were so extremely helpful from helping with food to making sure we had everything we needed or wanted. We held a birthday party/celebration of life and had about 25 family and friends get together. It was the perfect place for all of us. Some were able to play billiards, while others played darts, and there was room for people to sit and chat. We had such an amazing time, thanks to Cynthia! I highly recommend Rock’s and we will be back!!“

“Excellent place for darts“

“This is the sister club to Avery it's a nice place in located in pawtuxet village it is quiet and quaint. Generally The waitresses they are good unfortunately the last night I was there the waitress that I was behind or the bartender that was behind the bar was not overly friendly a bit cold and standoffish. Almost in to be waiting on friends as opposed to the regular customer I thought she was almost nasty but generally the other bartenders that I've seen there are very nice and attentive.“

“it's always been a pleasure. friendly people. great atmosphere. the food not that bad either.“

“The Avery - great neighborhood bar and not on the beaten path. But it has a buzz so has become a bit of a destination spot lately as well. If you enjoy cocktails this is yr place. If you come back a 2nd time the bartender will remember your drink. Each bartender has their own playlist so that goes into the mix too.

The app asks about atmosphere. Well for one you can sit outside in Luongo Square - a pocket park where you can watch the world go by on a lazy afternoon. The other beauty of The Avery is its dim light. One review said it is “excessively dark”; well they should go to Chelos. Art Deco interior is also wonderful. And maybe not an Atmosphere thing but drinks are about $10, which does help my mood.

No food - not even chitos, so don’t go there and get upset no food. 🍻“

“MY FAVORITE HANG, IN THE 70,S..!! CASSIDY, STAFF.! WHEN BACK IN TOWN , LOVE TO STOP BY...PEACE.. FITTY.“
