“New owners and menu!
2026 updated review
Still one of my favorite places to come and hangout. The menu shifts every 2 weeks and the prices are great.
Always a good time.
Summer offers the out door patio.
And always a great selection of beer (if that's your thing)
Service is always prompt and friendly.
Keep doing what you do !“

“We visited Honey Bird back in June. The chicken was outstanding so moist and flavorful. The drinks also did not disappoint, the ingredients blend together so well and zero hang over headache. My 6 year had yummy Mac & cheese with fries.“

“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“

“Fantastic customer service from Josh!“

“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?“

“I have heard so many great things about Anthony’s so I had taken my wife there for Mother’s day. When we walked into Anthony’s we were taken away with its cozy atmosphere. The waitstaff was very friendly and made me feel like we were at home. The drinks were on point. The appetizers were so incredible, delicious. Our entree’s were delicious and delectable. My wife and I cannot wait to go back and have an exquisite meal again at Anthony’s.“

“This is my favorite bar/pub in PVD. Good beer selection with plenty of local brews and interesting stuff. Their homemade soft pretzels are immaculate, and the sandwiches served on them are also very good. Quick walk from the AMP or PPAC, can get busy after events.“

“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“

“Great atmosphere great cocktails“

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

“Tavern 12 is a great place to watch football — and the food & friendly staff is even better!“

“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!“

“Look, I'm not a drinker, but if I were, this would be a place for me. My band played there a couple times and man oh man, the place is amazing. It's not where you go to see crazy lights and music so loud that your ears ring, its like cheers“

“Excellent place for darts“

“Our family just recently hosted a private event here, and The Last Resort Restaurant and Bar far exceeded our expectations. The staff was refreshingly attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The dining space was perfect for our group. Every dish was fresh and beautifully presented.

If you are looking for a restaurant to host a special event, I highly recommend this establishment. They made our special occasion unforgettable, and we look forward to celebrating here again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fun and eclectic speakeasy type bar. Drinks were well made and the service was great. Seating is limited to approximately 30 at max including the bar area. Comfortable waiting area outside of the bar if you need to wait to be seated. Knead doughnuts is across the hall. Great options available for a late night snack while you enjoy your drinks. You have to ask about the doughnuts.“

“Good music good food nice staff“

“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!!“

“Perfect neighborhood bar! The bartenders love their job and you can tell by their friendly attitudes. The new cook knows what he is doing on the grill. Did i mention $10 pitchers of Blue Moon and $11 pitchers of Stella Artois? #YoureWelcome“

“You must go there and get the macaroni and meatballs on Sunday. Also try the chicken Marsala Girl Diane is a great Cook the food is to brag for music is one of the best dance music in area you must try it out“

“Classic little small town dive bar... friendly patrons, great drink prices and good service, nothing more one could ask for. Plenty of TVs for sports and a pool table in the back...if you are a fan of local bars this is a don't miss .. would love to return.“

“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♥️“

“Charlie was great and very attentive! Me and my boyfriend went as first time customers for lunch during Prov Restaurant Week and we were not disappointed. The food was so good that my boyfriend’s eyes were rolling back so safe to say we will be returning!“

“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! 🍻🥃🍸“
