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!

Great selection of beers, pretzels, and dips in a quaint bar setting. We ordered the salted pretzel with honey mustard and the gingerbread pretzel with peppermint hot chocolate dip. Both were great and came out piping hot! The staff were very friendly and the service was good. We also loved the selection of board/card games! We will definitely be back again if we ever find ourselves in this neck of the woods“

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

“always a good time , highly recommended“

“This bar is hands down one of my favorite spots to hang out and play pool. The pool tables are in fantastic condition, and there’s plenty of space to play comfortably without bumping into other groups. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting, the atmosphere here is perfect—laid-back but lively enough to keep the energy up.

The food here is a real standout. It’s not your typical bar food—it’s delicious, with generous portions at prices that are hard to beat. From appetizers to full meals, there’s something for everyone, and the quality always surprises me in the best way. Pair that with a solid drink selection and friendly, fast service from the staff, and you’ve got everything you need for a great night out.

On top of all that, the crowd is always welcoming and fun, which makes the experience even better. Whether I’m in the mood for a casual hangout or some serious pool playing, this bar never disappoints. If you’re looking for a spot with good vibes, great food, and fair prices, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!“

“Love the place ..the ownership sucks. Not even on the last day if the pool would they lower the prices to use the. Pool or any food special s Nothing!!!!! Thats why i only go 1 time a yr. ..2 times will cost you at least $200 !! Or more!!!! I know.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“Very fun dive bar, featuring cheap drinks, keno, pool table, juke box, and karaoke. It's cash only but there is an atm next door, and no food but you can bring or order your own! Bartenders are phenomenal, and karaoke with Nat King Cool is a ton of “

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent place for darts“

“The Stable has changed for the better in the past few years, it feels like a more inclusive space for everyone. The bartenders are very responsive and make excellent drinks. The price for cocktails is excellent compared to other bars.This is the perfect pregame spot before making your way to other bars and clubs. Or if you like a relatively calmer place to meet new people, it’s also great for that too.There’s a outdoor patio area in the back. There’s a small stage/DJ booth for the various shows that occur throughout the week.“

“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!! 😍“

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

“The atmosphere brings a Cheers vibe, and the food is far better than usual pub fare. The bartenders were attentive and kind. They do hand cut fries and a kale coleslaw with their generous fish and chips, and I enjoyed every bite. The house band is fun with a classic rock/funk/blues influence. I definitely recommend giving this place a try.“

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

“Most times, no cover. Friendly staff. Great music. Love the outdoor venue“

“great place to have a beer“

“A neighborhood gem. A small dive bar but has karaoke weekly. They have a small limited menu and the draft drinks are cheaply priced between 2-3 dollars. Joe the owner is an amazing guy. The bartenders are decent, fast and the atmosphere is pretty active. Even for a slow night it's still active there.“

“they make you feel like family and food and the people are awesome!!!“
