43 Best Pubs near Johnston

“I’d say this is the best restaurant in Rhode Island, no doubt about it. I got the honey barbecue tenders, fried pickles and the fried cheese curds and everything was above and beyond incredibly delicious. I will definitely be returning again and again. 😊“

“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.“

“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!“

“Never a let down. I make it a point to stop in every time Im in town for work. The food never disappoints. Introduced to my first “stuffy”. I have never had to wait to be seated, food comes out timely and perfect temperature. Im making it a point to try as much as I can on the menu and enjoy my iced tea with simple syrup. Keep the great food coming!“

“I've been going to see Jay for a long time. Food is always delicious. Fish Bowls are the way to go if you want an amazing drink. Karaoke daily, and if you come more than once, you'll see there are PLENTY of regulars that come to sing.“

“🔥 Hidden Gem Alert! This local scratch kitchen is a game-changer. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted by a true chef! Not your typical bar food! Every dish feels personal and made with care. The staff? Super friendly and welcoming. If you’re craving real food with heart, this is the spot. 👨‍🍳👏“

“We ordered chicken and eggplant parm to go tonight and it was fantastic. You can tell everything is made from scratch. We will be back!“

“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“

“Great bar with good chill vibes, especially the backyard patio. Nice atmosphere for conversation and isn't too loud. Definitely right up my alley. No kitchen, which is fine. It's just meant to be a bar to chill, but plenty of food nearby.“

“If you’ve never been here, you don’t know what you’re missing! This place will remind you of your grandparent’s home. Nostalgic and so comfortable.

The owner Drew was the man! He was so nice to my work colleagues, let us bring 3 boxes of pizza in to eat and was hilarious.

The whole bar is filled with old collectible items and things you’ll find out a pawn shop. Dartboard and pool table is upstairs.

And the prices!! 4 of us got 2 beers and 2 hard alcoholic drinks - and we were charged only $14.

Can’t wait to be back!“

“Hell yeah great place people. Keep it rockin“

“This place is awesome. I reached out to Erica for help with a fundraiser I was doing and I was looking for donations. She was extremely generous and did not hesitate to help and donate! This just goes to show what kind of amazing people are running this place. Atmosphere and food are phenomenal as well!“

“I was in town for the NCAA Wrestling Finals. I stopped in with my husband and father-in-law. We loved it! Great food and nice people! We felt very welcomed. Exactly what an Irish pub should be!“

“Stopped into the Thirsty Beaver today for lunch and it got the job done. The inside is cute and spacious. The waitress was also very nice and took our orders very quickly.

I ordered the chicken sandwich with fries and my partner had the turkey avocado wrap. He liked his food, and mine was pretty decent as well.

I’m giving four stars because I found three different/rather long hairs on the table and my chicken sandwich didn’t blow me away. However, it’s definitely not bad by any means!“

“great food and prices Alaina was awesome! would recommend“

“Wings were amazing! The beer selection is great and the service was beyond perfect! Will definitely be back!“

“love going when Lana is DJing!“

“quite frankly ; everything“

“Went there on a Sunday during their live Marima band 3-6pm and DJ dance party 6pm on. Atmosphere made the experience exceptional. Food and service was satisfactory enough. I will go back for the Sunday music experience and buy drinks.

Kid-friendliness: I went there with my sons, and there were other children during Full Bar and live music. I appreciate that“

“Chicken Tenders & Fries were delicious, fresh, hot and wel cooked.

Reuben was pretty well too! Environment was a great vibe, you can tell that anyone that likes to have a good time just at a low key spot this is the place. Bartenders and servers attentive, look happy, chatting with customers, and there if you needed them.“

“Everything was...okay. Food, atmosphere and bartender were ok. One if the waitresses was great. The drinks were VERY expensive. We'd walked down with the intention of having dinner and a few drinks, but at $4.75 for a coors light and $12 for a mixed drink in a low ball glass, we chose not too.“

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

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

“BEEN DINING HERE SINCE THE 70,S..!!! GREAT FOOD, GREAT STAFF, ALWAYS THE BEST.!!! THANKS TOM .!!! MANY YEARS TO COME.. ! BE BLESSED.!! THOMAS...“

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

“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“

“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!“

“I came by for a night stopover for my trip back from RI to Atlanta. Friendly bartender. He cooks me a good steak and then talks me up on the LLWS. Cheap drinks, local company and good food. 5 stars. Oh yeah. Cash only.“

“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“

“I went to meet people who didn't show up. I was there only female customer in a predominantly Spanish speaking club. The female bartender was wonderful and felt instantly comfortable. I could have it taken photos and left but stayed and enjoyed a Corona and conversation.“

“Excellent place for darts“

“always a good time , highly recommended“

“This place really shocked me. I was not expecting such great prices and great quality food. We ordered a few appetizers to share thinking they wouldn’t be enough for a meal. We have left overs for about 2 days. Their nachos were piled high, and not skimped out on the toppings. Our server recommended the “hoochie mama “ flavored wings and they were some of the best wings I’ve ever had. Perfectly crispy and sweet/savory. The sangria was amazing and I wish I lived closer to come here every weekend. We spent only $60 on 4 apps, and 2 drinks. Can’t beat it“

“One of the best hidden gems. High quality food made fresh. Welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Awesome staff! Made friends the first time we walked in. I’m a fussy person when it comes to eating out, their food exceeded my expectations. Great background music and excellent selection of draft beers!“

“The food is absolutely delicious“

“I always appreciate great food so when thinking of Indian you only need one choice. This one, great food, great people and honesty great prices. thank you for what you do!“

“This is a nice place to go for a drink, food, dance, and listen to some Latin music. Their food is ok, considering that their menu is very limited. The service staff can be greedy; they could overcharge you for drinks (I paid 18+ tax for a Mojito) and/or food, and they bring you the bill with a "service charge" (tip) included, but they won't tell you about it, so you end up tipping twice. Be careful with that!I think it's cool they let you play some small musical Latin instruments too, if you ask for them!“

“We always enjoy going to the 99!“

“This has been my husband and I’s go to place for the last few years. Over the last couple of months we have noticed a decline in portions. While we understand that prices are higher for food, you really shouldn’t bump down in quality, just raise the price if you need to. People may not noice a slight uptick in price but definitely notice the portion size. My husband always favors a whole belly clam and scallops plate and last night he was served that combo with only two whole bellies, the rest were just batter pieces and four scallops that were overcooked , it was so disappointing. My surf and turf was downsized from three baked stuffed shrimp down to two and the prime rib was much smaller. While we could have said something, it should have been noticed before it left the kitchen! We are not people to complain and the staff is always great but I guess my point is, we noticed and may think twice before returning and that saddens us.“

“Order anything and it's going to be wonderful. I personally love the grinders and wings. Trivia night is a blast, so go enjoy that with your friends. Gets filled up quickly, so go early and eat and then have a few drinks and enjoy the atmosphere and fun trivia questions.“

“Darling Cafe with friendly owners!! Thank you so much for the rum and diet coke!! I appreciate your kindness! Great get-away being near the hospitals and Ronald McDonald House.“

“I've been here a handful of times, and the service is always friendly and accommodating. The one time I got calamari there, I don't know what dark magic is going on in the kitchen but it was the best I ever had. Nice chill atmosphere.“

“Wonderful place that I just stumbled upon. So cute inside with multiple options such as the cafe, restaurant, pub, and pizza station. We ate at the Cafe. Our food was absolutely delicious, especially the white clam chowder which was a special that night (it's not on the regular menu). It was one of the best I've ever had! However, our service was a bit lackluster. Our waitress was very nice but she was definitely distracted or scatterbrained. We did not receive our soup and salads before the meal as we were supposed to. Some meals came out before others. The vegetable wasn't available that we ordered but she didn't tell us until the plates were put in front of us with different sides. The drinks did not come out when they should have, etc. However the food was so good and we loved the ambiance so much, that I will go back and give it another shot.“
