Highly recommended! The atmosphere feels intimate and perfect for date night. They can also accommodate small groups comfortably. The cocktails are carefully crafted and changed every week! Don’t skip on food, the pizza strips are fire + you can eat the freshest doughnuts you’ve ever had while sipping a cocktail. The owners are awesome and super welcoming!

Love the staff and beverages here! Everytime we go, I must get a Knead doughnut. The menu is updated frequently, so there's always something new for regulars too.Parking: Try to park on Cromwell, if you can!! This speakeasy only has one entrance available where you need to give a password. We're familiar enough with the area that we'll park around the block occasionally, but the route through the property is odd, indirect and not signed to tell patrons of Knead or Juniper where to go.

Out of all the bars in Providence, juniper has solidified its spot as my favorite for many different reasons. First and foremost- the drinks. That's what we go to a cocktail bar for, right? The creative and extensive lineup of cocktails here has something for every taste. From the sultriest, smokiest scotch concoction you can imagine all the way down to the lightest, most refreshing punch, they've got what you're looking for. Not sure what you're looking for? Tell Morgan or Brian what you like and let them take it away. Secondly, the space itself is a dream come true. I'm not a big "going out" guy. Crowds, loud music, tvs on every wall- not my jam. This bar is none of that. It is a small, very tasteful space where you can hear yourself think, and hear your friends talk. The lighting is perfect, and the music is always good. Stopping in here for a couple drinks feels like sitting by the fire in your living room while it's storming outside. It just doesn't get any cozier. Third, the fresh Knead donuts! Not your usual cocktail pairing, but who can resist? Certainly not me. With a rotating selection of whatever just came out of the oven, you can't go wrong. This is a speakeasy, so you'll have to find the password to get buzzed in. Trust me, its worth looking for.

I had such an amazing experience visiting Juniper! The drinks were second to none and the bartenders were so kind, attentive and knowledgeable. They gave recommendations and created cocktails I had never tried before. A true gem of a place and somewhere I can't wait to show my friends. I will definitely be back!

Okay, fine. juniper is THE cocktail bar. I refuse to gatekeep, so here I am with my overdue review. This space has served a few iconic cocktail bars in the past, & juniper has done right by its legacy. There is a sad tendency for modern speakeasies to veer towards the pretentious, but not juniper. The operation is firmly grounded by a deep love & understanding of Providence, the industry, & the art of not taking anything too seriously. Brian & Morgan, the two man team responsible for this speakeasy, have curated a creative & welcoming space by simply being themselves & having fun. The cocktail list rotates frequently, & generally has something for every taste palette - whether you drink "old man drinks" like myself, or "fun frilly drinks" like my partner. There is a specific system & password involved in getting in to juniper, but I won't give away any more. This is where I draw the line, to pay homage to the speakeasy concept.

Every cocktail was on point. Brian and Morgan were super accommodating for food allergies and fantastic conversation buddies! Best Aviation I’ve ever had, and the Feels Like Home with house-infused Earl Grey vodka has me truly inspired. Thank you guys for the best night! Can’t wait to come back.

This place has absolutely wonderful cocktails, among the best in the city if not the best. They are only open for limited hours a couple days a week so plan accordingly. Well worth seeking this place out.

I'm writing this for one simple reason, Yelp now has a list of top new spots to have a drink in Providence. I haven't any doubt that juniper should be on the top of that list. Brian Oakley of Julian's and Pizza J, and Morgan Snyder of Buttonwoods Brewery, have joined forces for the re-opening of the speakeasy bar in the Rooms & Works building on the West Side of Providence. The space formerly known as Far West, and later as High Dive. The new bar has been running in soft open/trial period for the month of August and it's a smashing good effort. Still has all the cool character the small industrial space is imbued with, and a smart and sharp cocktail menu with more than a few nods to the past. First of which is an homage to the BAG&T that Far West made famous. As I understand it, the new owners reached out to Michele and Luke for their blessings, and with a sip of the minty concoction it's almost like they never left. Add in a still fresh from the oven donut from Knead if you're lucky, or a RI slice from Pizza J, a really well made Daiquiri, or one of the most delicious MaiTai I've had in many years, this spot is a Gem. A+ and totally worth trying to find the secret password to get in during the limited hours it's open. See you there.
