“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.“

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 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.“

“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!“

“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!“

Wickenden Pub Bar • $

“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!“

The Stable Bar • $$
125 Washington St, Providence

“I recently moved to Attleboro from New Mexico this past year. I have been in the leather community for over 30yrs. I have been fortunate enough to travel the world and in these travels I have visited many a bar especially “leather bars”. While I do like Cocktail, show, piano and drag bars, I much prefer a leather bar. I visited The Stable and it is a cute place. My friends and I call this the starter bar. If you plan on bar hopping for the evening, this is stop number 1. The bartenders are friendly but seem to have a little attitude. The kind you expect from a bartender. The crowd, well let’s just say it’s a mix. Young, college, yuppie kind of crowd. I’m a leatherman and appreciate all kinds of bars but this is not my go to. Drinks are good. Prices are fine. The space is narrow and we it get crowded you almost cannot walk from the front of the bar to the back. It’s kind of annoying if you have to visit the WC. I think I only know one of the bartenders Mike.“

“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!“
