50 Best Cocktail Bars near North Providence

“Been coming here since their initial location in Greenville. Went to their new location and loved it. Definitely smaller, but loved the intimate setting. Especially when guests embrace the concept. It’s like you’re all experiencing dining together prompting conversation with strangers gathering for the common love of food. Love everything about this new place. Oh and the food is still phenomenal.“

“What do I recommend….Absolutely everything ! This is the Italian restaurant experience everyone should have. You’re treated like family. The food is absolutely delicious. Every dish that came to our table looked and tasted like the main ingredient is love. If you are fortunate enough to go when Mama’s stuffed squash flowers are on the specials menu, you better try them. Isabella our waitress was absolutely amazing. This place made me and my family feel like we were regulars. It’s that place. Just go. You’re gonna love it !! 💯❤️“

“As I said “ INTERESTING PLACE ““

“Great place to have a good drink!!“

“Vibrant, light, and energetic cocktail bar with immaculate vibes and exquisitely friendly service. They've got some wonderful prohibition era cocktail classics on the menu but the real action is with their signature cocktails invented in-house. Real artistry, more like a potion than a drink.“

“thanks for a friendly, fun, entertaining afternoon. Food was so flavorful and the drinks were delicious 😋 jazz music was so enjoyable 🥰“

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

“Have never had a bad experience there, very welcoming environment“

“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.“

“Sal- BEAUTIFUL young lady with a tattoo on her hand...Was just amazing.... She has the most infectious smile, pleasure energy and complete description of all food items that entices the palate. This was the most amazing experience... she may do this all the time, however her impact on these two guests... GIVEs her around of applause!! Thank you ... Food was awesome too!!“

“Juncal Mexican Grill & Bar in Cumberland, RI, is truly a hidden gem!! Everything was homemade and delicious!! The “hot sauce” is a must! The drinks were refreshing and mixed just right. The guava moscow mule is a must try! The service was amazing too. Everyone was so friendly and attentive—they really made us feel at home. The warm churros are served with hot fudge and caramel… absolutely delicious. If you’re craving authentic Mexican food, great drinks, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe, definitely give Juncal a try!“

“Classic dark interior low lighting cocktail lounge. Our party of four enjoyed a mix of cocktails and a couple of beers at reasonable prices. Only a brief visit on this occasion as it was the one for the road as they say but would definitely return when I have more time.“

“We tried Needle & Thread during Providence Restaurant Week and it was fabulous. Drinks were amazing and the short ribs were so delicious. The interior is gorgeous and adds to the speakeasy vibe. We will definitely visit again!“

“First time as was in town from Newport to see Little Jagged Pill at PPAC. Bartender (Tim?) was excellent friendly, knowledgeable on menu and made great handcrafted drinks. Manager (she moved here from NYC) was also excellent. I ordered the pork loin special, one of my friends ordered to porchetta over grits (I was a bit jealous as it was amazing. Overall a great experience.“

“A really yummy spot for brunch! We had the chilaquiles and sweet and salty French toast, and both were amazing. The French toast was definitely more sweet than salty, but it had great orange flavor and wasn’t overly sweet so we really liked it. The service was quick and friendly. It was busy but not packed, so we were able to get in without a wait for Sunday brunch.“

“Went to the Foxes Hill neighborhood in Providence to try out a Morroccan spot, but it ended up being closed. Luckily, right around the corner was Aguardente, which is a Guatamalen & Portuguese tapas restaurant. Love the interior decorations and warm welcoming vibe. We started with quejo de cabra, rellenitos, & the minha caiparinha. Then we had the batatas fritas, empanadas de pollos, polvo grelhado, & almondegas. Everything from the service to all of the dishes being seasoned perfectly and tasted amazing.“

“So, last night I needed to have a business meeting with a business partner that wanted to stay out of downtown after working all day in the city. We chose Hangry Kitchen, just 6 minutes from downtown. So much that I could say about the meal. But I will summarize it. I asked if I could get a side of tomato juice for my beer. (Yeah beer and tomato juice is amazing). They did not have any canned or bottled tomato juice. THEY JUICED SOME TOMATOS! The rest of the meal was just as memorable. Check them out (in between food truck visits)!“

“Great service, ambiance, and sushi.“

“Cheryl and I dined with friends last night at Casa Azul Taqueria at 840 Allens Avenue in Providence. Although the place is small, with just three tables and primarily offering takeout, the food is fantastic, featuring great vegan options. We're definitely going back!“

“Great food, great beer selection, great service, and an unbeatable great view to the operations on the apron. The price is reasonable and comparable to similar quality restaurants outside.

I was there on a day when bad weather had resulted in many delayed and canceled flights. Being able to hang out, enjoy a couple of local brews and a kick ass fish and chips while watching airplane movement was the best thing that day.

This is the best place to eat in the Providence airport by a long shot.“

“Everything I've had from here has been fantastic. Such a lovely place. Excited for the new menu options as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great atmosphere! And Christine our server was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. She checked on us consistently- thanks! I only got pics of our appetizers as we were hungry and chowed on our mani courses. Started with a 1930 DAQ, Wawtuhmelon and a Vino Rosso Gaio - all drinks were tasty! We started with the Truffle fries and the Crispy Duck Meatballs- oh my both were great! The flavor in the Duck meatballs was amazing! The sweet chili glaze just hits it out of the park! On to dinner I ordered the Steak Frites - excellent flavor and cooked perfect! Wife ordered the Chicken Picatta - very tasty with a great lemon flavor! Daughter ordered the Pink Vodka - also really flavorful with interesting noodles I had not had before. Thank you for a great experience- we shall be back! Thanks Chef Max!“

“Best chicken tortilla soup around. I haven't had something I didn't like. Great spot. Congratulations“

“Believe it or not, I'd never tried Indian food until recently. I'm usually not one for spicy stuff, but this place was so close to home, and I was feeling adventurous, so I figured, why not? And let me tell you, I was genuinely blown away by what I ordered! My girlfriend, who knows her Indian food, totally nailed the recommendation. It was this amazing chicken dish with a creamy, orange sauce, and some perfectly buttered naan on the side. I can't remember the exact name, but I sure won't forget that taste! I'm definitely going back to try more of their menu.“

“Great place and wonderful food good service“

“Truly an incredible place with even more lovely people. Places like this are what keep our city wholesome. And of course they have tasty yums and bevs“

“Highly recommend it, great food and very nice atmosphere“

“Absolutely amazing experience. Our server, Logan, was top-notch. He was there when we needed him but did not hover over us and was not overbearing. The food and the atmosphere were amazing as well- the service provided really made the experience memorable. Logan accommodated everything we needed.“

“Location/decor/ambiance: the owners have tried to turn the spacious brick and beam interior of a former factory building into a ghetto-ish inner cityscape skateboard park using graffiti-style airbrush graphics, little skateboards that serve as bar chair seat backs, concrete floors painted with Providence manhole covers, etc. Visually, the effect is mixed. I “get” what the owners are trying for, but it isn’t for me an “attractive” dining decor. It looks much more like a dance club for young twenty-somethings. I quickly adjusted to the inner-city grunge decor, but what we couldn’t adjust to was the VERY loud rap/hip-hop music blaring out of some very robust speakers non-stop. Talking was difficult. Yes, I’m an older person, but I don’t begrudge anyone their musical sensibilities… provide its not full of “***** and “nigga” and roaring out at at least 90 decibels. Whatever they’re trying to be, they need to remember that they are l (at 10 am) a restaurant, not a dance club. Food & service: unexpectedly, given the above criticism, the food was outstanding, I mean really good. Caught us off guard. Just beautifully imagined and realized. Would I return? Probably not. Even the great food cant quite overcome the soundscape. Interesting place, though“

“Dined here last night before PPAC, for that reason we made an early dinner reservation. I confirmed when calling they had valet parking. We arrived to find no valet attendant. After some back and forth with hostess and manager my husband was finally able to come inside for dinner, nearly 30 mins wasted. Our server AJ provided exemplarry service; she was personable and knew the menu like the back of her hand. We appreciated her service, and our dinners were all very good. As we departed we confirmed with the tardy valet attendant if we could leave the car and pick up after the show as we do with neighboring establishments and he said no because they would be closed by the time the show was over; this couldn’t have been further from the truth. The valet was rude, late, and it’s terribly unfortunate that the valet ruined what could have been a great dinner with friends.“

“I love Fili! I came here with family and friends and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was truly phenomenal! They have chefs from JWU and they made every single item we ordered scrumptious! Daniel was our server and he was an absolute delight! He was a great guide through the menu and was such a sweetheart! We were then greeted by George the owner! He was so welcoming and friendly we didn’t want to leave! We came in a little later and they welcomed us in and served us until the last minute! Everyone working there was genuinely kind and so refreshing to talk to! This place is definitely staying in our dinner rotation! We love you guys!“

“One of the best cigar bars in RI! The ventilation system is incredible, every seat is very comfortable and their selection is top notch. Highly recommend!“

“Cucina 38 is one of those rare places that never lets you down. I’ve been there five times over the past few years and have never had a bad experience. It’s a small, intimate spot that’s always clean, with a friendly staff that makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. What really sets this place apart is the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the chef. The bread is fresh from local bakeries, and everything tastes like it was carefully selected with real intention. I had the lamb special with Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, and a fig glaze, and it was outstanding. My wife had the sweet potato mascarpone ravioli topped with pancetta and garlic in a brown butter sauce, and it was unbelievable. Cucina 38 just gets it right. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place that keeps delivering every time.“

“What a fun spot! They have so many great liquors to try and games to play if you want to hang with friends. We didn’t get to try any cocktails but the menu looked great. We took a bottle of the foragers gin and walnut espresso home with us as well as a set of the cute RI shot glasses. Definitely stop by if you are a fan of unique spirits!“

“Honeybird is absolutely fantastic! As someone who was raised in Alabama , I can tell you this place is the real deal. I wish I could tell you which side is my favorite but they are all so good is almost impossible to choose. Oh yeah , the chicken is really good as well.“

“Amazing best service and lounge“

“Came by for brunch on a whim. I don't even know where to begin..1) I can't believe we've never been here before, living minutes away. 2) Absolutely blown away by the vibe here. 3) The food was done right with creativity and craft. It fit right in with what we've been looking for around here and again I'm shook it took us as long as it did to find it.

Our server Grace was amazing, great service and an awesome insight on what we can expect to experience coming for dinner. Honestly looking forward to dinner here!

Great experience 👌🏽“

“Was in town for a weekend on leisure and loved everything about this place. Ambience, music, the pear and honey margarita was a highlight. Special shoutout to Bianca, who handled the Saturday rush seamlessly and has an infectious personality. You could tell she brings the best out of her clientele and colleagues.“

“They catered a family reunion at my home last weekend. My family is Gujarati and this restaurant just hit it out of the park!!! Every esoteric Gujarati dish was a hit. We did puri, patra, mango ras, pulao, kadhi. Just outstanding! My family was raving about the food. The service and Anil’s responsiveness was on point. This place is run by true professionals!!!“

“For the Rhode Island College Black Alumni Network's Annual Grad Event Party, we selected Distinguish Catering and the food was delicious!!! We are so grateful for their hard work to deliver exquisite appetizers. Our guests enjoyed the food, and the beef empanadas were a hit! Shout out to Jessica and her team for their professionalism, support, and guidance to help us select top tier appetizers that absolutely pleased our guests and accomodated those with specific food allergies (i.e. gluten-free, vegan)“

“5 stars!! Love the space, ambience and music. Great spot with friends or a date. Service is top notch, felt so homey. Jo is amazing!!- got to meet his lovely family. Service here is top notch. We felt so comfortable, had some good talk. The food was outstanding. We had pepper soup, okra and fufu. So tasty, flavored with great spice levels . Everything cooked with care 👏🏾. Prices are affordable and appropriate for the great portions. The upside down pineapple cake was so moist, appropriately sweet, decadent and a good end to a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend! Great place to try Liberian inspired food if you haven’t before. Or experiment with other parts of Africa’s cuisine. Appreciate how comfortable and chill they made us feel 😊“

“Absolutely love the outdoor dining and red sangria! Always a great time when we go!“

“Was there last night with family! Had a great time, yummy food & delicious drinks😉 I had two spicy margaritas 🥵with just the right amount of heat. The brisket melt with the homemade fries that I have to say were the best 🥰. The slaw on the melt was very tasty too😋 All in all the food was very good. Everyone at the table enjoyed what they had!! And the wait staff is wonderful too. They were all so pleasant!“

“Had an incredible meal there last night! The buffalo chicken egg rolls, the Rogue Melt, and the lobster Mac & cheese. All amazing! I’m more of a vodka drinker but the beer selection was incredible and our waiter helped me pick the perfect wheat beer! 100% I’d go back (when in town). A definite 2 thumbs up!“
