50 Best Cocktail Bars near Pawtucket

“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)!“

“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!“

“Very nice and relaxing atmosphere“

“As I said “ INTERESTING PLACE ““

“The perfect bar for beautiful crafted drinks. The attention to detail is incredible! Our bartender Karael crafted our cocktails to perfection. For appetizers, I would recommend trying the chicken dumplings, it comes with a soy dipping sauce and this alone will have me coming back for more.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Thanksgiving Day bloody Mary is breakfast and lunch and alcohol all in one“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“honestly best restaurant i have been to in a long time. everything was delicious. staff is amazing!“

“A very chill and relaxing place to hangout with friends. Located behind a semi fake lingerie shop, this speakeasy style bar had great drinks and seat to lounge in and hang out with friends. The only downside being a short menu of food, but I still recommend the cheese plate. Just be aware it has a dark and moody ambiance to bring a flashlight/phone light.“

“Just visited for the first time, and it was worth the trip from the other end of the state! Delicious food, nice people, can't wait to come back!“

“5 stars across the board! If I could give 10 stars I would!! The food, the atmosphere, Chef Sky, GM Ben, Bar Manager Rachel and the Entire staff is amazing! They go above and beyond! My husband and I go there weekly for some of the most amazing food in Providence and love to see our Gift Horse friends! Highly recommend for anyone looking for the best oysters, fun drinks, beautifully inspired Korean/American cuisine and a lovely atmosphere!“

“Great service, ambiance, and sushi.“

“I've been to many sushi places, and this is the one I will continue to choose over trying another sushi restaurant again. I don't like avocado or shrimp, so finding menus that give other options is hard. This one hits a home run for other options with crab, tuna, and lobster! Service can be a bit slow sometimes if they are busy“

“I've worked in Restaurants since 16 years old and this is the best food I've had in decades. The Ratatouille is a perfectly light pasta substitute, The burger jam's sweetness contrasted the rest of the meal amazingly. Will come back every time I'm in Providence!“

“Excellent food prices on higher end nice big portions really good hospitality. Staff is very friendly and attentive.

Parking: Plenty of parking spots

Wheelchair accessibility: No problem with wheelchair’s
Plenty of room elevators no issues there“

“Walking in is a vibe on its own, not to many restaurants have that. It almost feels like your not even in Providence anymore.Started off with some apps, i got the Spicy Shrimp( the sauce on the shrimp was very very good!) and the calamari. I personally dipped my calamari in the spicy shrimp sauce but thats a conversation for a different day.Unfortunately i didn’t get to have my drink in a flamingo or a lil piggy but thats ok. The drinks were very good!The Chicken Milanese was a bit too thin (my opinion) but it was good.The steak was cooked to perfection, the mushroom risotto was very very good too. Im definitely getting the tomahawk next time i come.“

“Amazing food and drinks! Definitely best Mexican food spot in the area.“

“🥰Great Food, awesome staff, best drinks!“

“Loved it! service food drinks... all wonderful! Check it out!“

“A girlfriend and I tried Honeybird when it had opened. Small but beautifully modern. We tried the fried green tomatoes, the pierogis and the hot chicken boa buns. All were very tasty, juicy and flavorful. We sat at the bar and had adequate services, they weren't neglectful nor overbearing just not as personable as I'm used to while sitting at a bar. Overall we enjoyed our time there.

Since then I have been back twice and it has been consistent and delicious.“

“Best food ever! Tons of amazing vegetarian options. The tofu quesadilla is so good and the rice is exceptional! I love this place so much!“

“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“

“Great place and wonderful food good service“

“Amazing best service and lounge“

“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!!!“

“My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Patio on Broadway in Providence, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish! The atmosphere is vibrant yet welcoming, with a modern touch that makes it perfect for a casual brunch with friends or a fun dinner out. The food here is outstanding, blending creative twists with-classic comfort dishes. I had the lobster roll, which was packed with fresh, succulent lobster and served on a perfectly toasted bun. My boyfriend had the bolognese which he said was hands down the best he’s had! The menu has something for everyone, from hearty entrees like the sea scallops to lighter options like the poke bowl, plus plenty of vegan and gluten-free choices that don’t skimp on taste. The cocktails deserve a special shoutout—bold, inventive, and beautifully crafted. I went for a rose sangria and it was the perfect way to elevate the meal. The service was top-notch too; the staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about making our experience great. Even when the place was buzzing with energy, they kept everything running smoothly. I’m already looking forward to my next visit—do yourself a favor and check it out!“

“Love Love Love Fili! Only bring a sweater bc our party was freezing from the a/c, and be warned, on a Friday night the music is very loud and it's hard to hear each other if you are old as we are! But otherwise, we will return again and again.“

“me and my boyfriend travel around Rhode Island to find new and exciting date night resturants this one may be on the back road but it's right off the highway inviting atmosphere and decor and the staff amazing to top it all off they offer some of the best margaritas I've ever had and dinner was amazing we definitely will be going back and adding to our list of favorites for sure“

“A true local and neighborhood gem. Food is amazingggggg and staff is very attentive and kind. Great place to have brunch or just have a fun dinner with a fun Latino spin! Truly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional food and great drinks, can’t wait to come again!!“

“It's great to see the Xo Bar open again! It was always one of our top lounges to go to back in the early 2000s! Now its even better with the new hang out lounge area! It's so hard to find a nice place with cozy couches in RI. It has a great set up and friendly service! We will be back!!“

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

“CRU PVD was highlighted in RI Monthly, and it's Restaurant Week, so my wife and I stopped in last night (Tuesday), and tried the RW menu with wine pairing (optional) - which was fabulous. Portions were solid - food was fantastic - service in Mike's section was equally fun and superb. Great vibe - we'll be back!“

“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. 😊“

“You got the best fish and chips! Staff was super nice! I tried the oysters and they were amazing also!“

“Great service. Greater food“

“Delicious food and excellent service!“

“Hands down one of the best meals ever prepared was done with Distinguish catering. Very professional and the quality of the meal on point. I cant wait to try more of their menu options!“

“Bandidos Woonsocket is nothing short of a wonderful dining experience. Friendly, attentive staff, fresh & delicious food, tasty margaritas and cozy atmosphere. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out!“

“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!! 😍“

“Loved the charcuterie board, plenty for 3, great portioned meals, delicious espresso martini.“
