50 Best Bars near North Providence

“Standard hole in the wall drive bar. Order a screwdriver and get fresh squeezed oranges, I couldn't believe it. Cash only, ATM in the back.

Fun people, they have a touch tunes. Great place to hang out, not spend a boatload of money and have good time.“

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

“Good music good food nice staff“

“I love and live above this amazing establishment. If you aren’t visiting this restaurant, you are missing out on some of the best food in the area. Every time I’ve gotten to go food or been able to visit for dine in, everything has been soooo good! Please check this place out! I promise you won’t be disappointed!“

“I have been going to Capitol billiards and I’ve known Anthony and the family for close to 30 years But all that aside it is a great place to go and have a game of pool a beer or two and a bite to eat the place brings back nostalgia they have all types of artifacts and everything that makes it look like an old time pool hall not some modern day joint. The atmosphere and the waitresses make it a comfortable place to stay and have a good time I highly recommend stopping in and seeing for yourself“

“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.“

“The selection of games was perfect. All the exact games I would have picked to represent each genre. The was ridiculously cheap. every machine was in near perfect condition. We went specifically for pinball and couldn't believe every function worked exactly as intended. We ended up playing all the arcade games too because the nostalgia kicked in. we felt like little kids again.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Fantastic customer service from Josh!“

“best little bar in providence“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“a very quaint bar, that screams fun!“

“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?“

“Holy smokes. Hands down this place serves the best chicken and waffles I have ever had. I was so utterly floored that I wild literally make a trip to Providence just to eat that perfection (I’m from Florida). This chef should get a Michelin star, if they don’t have one already.

Came here on a comedy bus tour for my sister’s birthday and it blew me away and reminds me what a great culinary culture thrives here.

Awesome ambiance, great vibes, unbelievably great breakfast!“

“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.“

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

“Great atmosphere great cocktails“

“great drinks wonderful music and just a great atmosphere“

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

“Great place became a member this year it is great outside venue in the nice weather and they have a cozy winter time place as well . you won't be disappointed“

“I visited solo for the first time yesterday. I arrived, stressed out from work, tired and in dire need of a month long vacation. I left relaxed, satisfied and felt like I received exactly what I needed. The waitress was very attentive to my requests- whether for a pitcher of water, or for the calamari or for other beverages. The DJ hit the mark with several reggae songs from Bob Marley to Sizzla. Not too loud for comfort either, which was a nice surprise. The calamari was cooked perfectly and a very nice portion. I wish I knew their marinara recipe. The pool was nice although a bit chilly for some, but I found it to be the perfect tonic for my body- very refreshing and invigorating . I went in five times over 6 hours. The crowd was great. I spoke to several patrons and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Everyone was dancing and enjoying the beautiful sun, but it never got too crazy- just the right vibe. Honestly, I’m kicking myself for not going before- where else can you feel like you are at a pool in Vegas in RI? I honestly did not want to leave, but the evening band was setting up and checking microphones as the establishment reset itself for the evening non-pool segment of its day. This is the type of place where if you go once, you will always keep going. I give the place 5 stars across the board and my thanks! I really needed that.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love this hideaway spot
They can make you anything I'm sure
Had a balanced delicious mocktail and
Also you can get Knead donuts here fresh! Yes my vegan donut dreams answered! Go for the drinks and get a donut treat people“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The homony Cafe is a great music venue“

“Super dope establishment 😊🌈
I'm a big fan of karaoke; & not every establishment that hosts it has the right acoustics, or kareoke dj, but this place has both of those variables covered 👏✨

Roomy enough so it doesn't feel claustrophobic, and yet still cozy. The lighting isn't too bright, & so far in my experience, everyone that works here is pleasant and welcoming.

The clientele is also super polite and respectful(keeping in mind that this is my first time here); my one regret is not coming here sooner. 🫠💗✌️“

“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“

“Greatest place for local music and best pizza in the state!“

“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 .“

“Excellent place for darts“

“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!!“

“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.“

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