Don’t be fooled by the classy atmosphere. The bartender was TERRIBLE. I ordered the “Mezcal Old Fashioned” and the drink she gave me tasted like just a mix of bottom shelf mezcal and soda water. It was undrinkable. I felt bad asking her to fix it because she was busy and obviously stressed, so I very politely and apologetically asked if she maybe forgot the agave or something? She then aggressively said “you want more agave?” and proceeded to pour agave syrup all over the top of my drink before I could even respond. Really a shame since the atmosphere and interior design is otherwise very appealing. Makes you think you’re walking into a nice place. I didn’t finish my drink because it was so gross and instead left and went to Courtland Club where I had a great experience!

Awesome sophisticated cocktail spot in a pocket of Providence. It’s a local favorite & we checked it out while waiting for our dinner reservations across the street. Decently priced, but it’s DARK inside. Can’t wait to go back

Vibe is cool but drinks were only ok and the bartender seems miserable.

Cocktails are cheap compared to other towns, and the quality of original cocktails is high. I ordered Cosmo and Old Fashioned. A cocktail bar with a great atmosphere, located in a quiet residential area.

A bit too crowded, cool selection of drinks but not super inventive nor flavorful.

Great location to have a conversation. Service was slow, a tad bit rude. Drinks were ok, not made well. Fantastic drink menu if mixed correctly. I've been going here since it opened, will always return!

The Avery - great neighborhood bar and not on the beaten path. But it has a buzz so has become a bit of a destination spot lately as well. If you enjoy cocktails this is yr place. If you come back a 2nd time the bartender will remember your drink. Each bartender has their own playlist so that goes into the mix too.
The app asks about atmosphere. Well for one you can sit outside in Luongo Square - a pocket park where you can watch the world go by on a lazy afternoon. The other beauty of The Avery is its dim light. One review said it is “excessively dark”; well they should go to Chelos. Art Deco interior is also wonderful. And maybe not an Atmosphere thing but drinks are about $10, which does help my mood.
No food - not even chitos, so don’t go there and get upset no food. 🍻

Cool spot, good drinks however the service is heinous. Female bartender clearly doesn’t enjoy her job and isn’t for customer service. After reading the comments this seems to be a current theme for the last couple years …

Great service. Great vibe. Loved everything about it. A hidden gem.
It is, and always has been, an amazing place. You should go.

Wonderful cocktail lounge. Queer friendly. Delish drinks. Excellent dark vibes for quieter, more intimate occasions. Bar tenders are amazing. Summer hours provide some outdoor seating and smoking. Never know who'll show up.

A cool little cocktail bar in an old residence on Federal Hill. It’s right in Luongo Square, a beautiful intersection with a cobblestone street and fountain out front. Very Providence. While most people are gonna come for the cocktails, they also have a decent beer and wine selection. The prices are surprisingly affordable, and the service was quick and friendly. There’s seating inside and out, although if the benches outside fill up the little red chairs/tables are not the most comfortable. The inside is also a bit excessively dark, but all in all a good spot for a drink, especially if you’re feeling classy.
