45 Best Pubs near Pawtucket

“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!“

“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“

“Stopped by at this cozy place on my way to Boston. The bartenders were very friendly, so I had one of their mules

I ordered their pulled pork combo with fries coleslaw and broccoli, and it was tasty. Nice coleslaw that wasn't heavy with the mayo. Definitely check this spot out if you're in the area for some good bar food.“

“Had dinner at the Roast House in blackstone. I ordered the prime rib sandwich with lettuce and sautéed onions with a side order of rice pilaf and it was the most amazing plate. Absolutely delicious and our server Samantha was incredibly knowledgeable with a humorous demeanor… If you are in the area, I highly recommend this hidden gem and ask for Samantha as your server .“

“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!“

“🔥 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. 👨‍🍳👏“

“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!“

“Good food great atmosphere friendly staff“

“If you're looking for a fun little dive bar to have a cocktale, meet local characters, shoot a little pool, listen to some tunes & chill, this is it. Great Atmosphere - nice size - great service. I haven't tried the food but I bet it's great. I think there's a patio too. Recommended.“

“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“

“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!“

“I love the Rookery! Great modern pub food with a menu that updates so there's always something new to try. The atmosphere and bar are so cozy and cool we love sitting at the bar and enjoying all of the great cocktails all while chatting with the awesome bartenders and servers.“

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

“love going when Lana is DJing!“

“quite frankly ; everything“

“Been here many times before and have always enjoyed it. Decent amount of gluten free options for my Celiac self. But they need to work on the AC, I know it was unreasonably hot outside, but I expected it to at least be cool inside the restaurant.“

“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.“

“French onion soup is the best I have ever had!“

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

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

“We are always warmly welcomed by the friendly staff and owners. Great service and even better food. Always coming up with new pizzas! Apps and sandwiches are outstanding! All the friends we’ve brought there love it!!“

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

“The 99 is already one of my go to restaurants. This specific one was one of the first places I went to with the now love of my life. But I just want to thank the friendliest (I believe she was a cook) who worked at this specific location (North Attleboro, MA) who had an accent (that’s all I know about her, I wish I got her name) I had to take my baby into the restroom for a diaper change and while I was in there I discovered that an old baby food pouch exploded in the bottom of the diaper bag and covered all of our diapers. My son was all over the place trying to crawl off the counter where I made him sit so I could clean out the bag and throw out all of the rotten apple covered diapers 😭 and I was a mess until this wonderful lady who appeared to be a cook there walked in and offered to hold him for me and just held him there next to me, entertaining him in the mirror, talking to him until my mother in law walked in to check on us. Just wanted to recognize her kindness and make it known how thoughtful she was. “I’ve been there, I know how jt is” she said and in that moment I felt a bit of relief knowing that as a mom we are not alone.“

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

“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. 😊“

“Great owners and clientele!“

“Hillside is my favorite place. No matter when you go you will always know someone. feel safe, feel comfortable. Good banter, delicious food and awesome live music. Come as friends leave as family. The security, bartenders and the cooks are the best!“

“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“

“Excellent place for darts“

“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 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!“

“always a good time , highly recommended“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Delicious lunch on the patio & excellent service! (thank you Sonya ♥️) We will definitely come back next time we are in the area!“

“Great place for having a drink or dinner. Had my daughter’s wedding there and it was FANTASTIC!“

“Lou is exceptional , food was great wonderful atmosphere“

“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.“

“Awesome local bar - had a party here for a friends 30th birthday and we had a fantastic time! Was never too loud or crowded, we could actually have a conversation and all hang out together. The drinks were delicious and really well priced! Highly recommended, especially for big groups.“

“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.“
