50 Best Bars near Smithfield

“I visited solo for the first time yesterday. I arrived, stressed out from work, tired and in dire need of a month long vacation. I left relaxed, satisfied and felt like I received exactly what I needed. The waitress was very attentive to my requests- whether for a pitcher of water, or for the calamari or for other beverages. The DJ hit the mark with several reggae songs from Bob Marley to Sizzla. Not too loud for comfort either, which was a nice surprise. The calamari was cooked perfectly and a very nice portion. I wish I knew their marinara recipe. The pool was nice although a bit chilly for some, but I found it to be the perfect tonic for my body- very refreshing and invigorating . I went in five times over 6 hours. The crowd was great. I spoke to several patrons and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Everyone was dancing and enjoying the beautiful sun, but it never got too crazy- just the right vibe. Honestly, I’m kicking myself for not going before- where else can you feel like you are at a pool in Vegas in RI? I honestly did not want to leave, but the evening band was setting up and checking microphones as the establishment reset itself for the evening non-pool segment of its day. This is the type of place where if you go once, you will always keep going. I give the place 5 stars across the board and my thanks! I really needed that.“

“Came for lunch with granddaughter last week. The shortribPortobello, sandwich and Prime rib au just were great. Loved the fried pickles too. Waitress was nice. We'll be back!“

“I was fortunate enough to get a job here in 1996, when I was a sophomore at Bryant. Not only is the food amazing, I've been longing for it for years, tried to recreate a couple dishes myself. These people were my family when I was away from mine. Been gone for 18 years and still miss all of it and them every day. went back last year for a tournament at Bryant with my daughter, they still have every Christmas card I ever sent them of my children over the years hanging on the wall. Nothing says Family like that! Love and miss you all!“

“Came here this evening and Eliza was our server, she is the best!! Provided outstanding service, checked on us multiple times and thoroughly and i love her energy! The food was amazing as always. I just moved to the area and first time going to chillis since, this is definitely my new go to location!!“

“Fun local watering hole. Great menu for a pub atmosphere. Had the shaved steak calzone and BBQ pizza. Both so good - better than expected for a pub.

Here on a Friday night listening to a local band called Drama Kings. If you’re not into music there are games - darts, shuffle board and even a golf simulator.

Fun night with good food. Great local 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!“

“We had a retirement party today. I've been at Assados twice before, with friends, and I recommended the place to my family for my niece's birthday. The food was very good, the service excellent. Thank you, Kennedy! The owner always comes out to greet his guest and make sure everything is what is expected!“

“Great place to hang. Owners are amazing and the staff are some of the best in the business! Great selection of beers and spirits, free pinball and spectacular decor if you’re a horror fan. Where else can you go and see a picture of an autographed foot?“

“Fantastic Food and service“

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

“Fantastic customer service from Josh!“

“best little bar in providence“

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

“I highly recommend this place if your looking for something do over the weekend especially the weird weather thats been going on lately its been a great place to hang out they got a good selection of pinball machines and classic arcade games that you know and love like donkey kong,pac man etc and I find it awsome to be able to play what you want as many hours as you want until they close.“

“Consistently the best live music spot in Providence these days. One of the last great Blues/Jazz/Rock clubs in Providence and all of R.I.“

“We very much enjoyed the food and house mocktails but stayed for the atmosphere. A little bit of NOLA brought to PVD“

“a very quaint bar, that screams fun!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“Great place became a member this year it is great outside venue in the nice weather and they have a cozy winter time place as well . you won't be disappointed“

“This is by far my favorite place to go on a Friday or Saturday. The cocktails are well thought out, the vibe is casual, fun and always enjoyable. I love bringing friends to this spot with the hope they enjoy it as much as we do and continue to spread the good word.“

“This bar has such a huge collection including alternative drinks to alcohol. They are always involved with community outreach which makes spending money there even better. While it is really expensive compared to other LGBT bars, the atmosphere, the selection, and staff make it worth it. There is also outdoor seating and affordable sangrias which are perfect for Sunday Funday!“

“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!“

“Great time and fun people. Food looks yummy and prices are great“

“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.“

“The homony Cafe is a great music venue“

“I never believed in Spells or Magic until I met this special spell caster called James Hydrick ,The woman i wanted to marry left me 3 months to our wedding ceremony and my life was turned upside down. she was with me for 5 years and i really love her so much..she left me for another man with no reasons..when i called her she never picked up my calls and she don't want to see me around her…so,when i told James Hydrick what happened he helped me with some readings,and after the readings he told me that the other man has done some spells on my woman and that is the reason why she left me..he told me he will help me cast a love spell to bring her back. At first i was skeptical but i just gave it a try…In 2 days,she called me herself and came to me apologizing..I cant believe she can ever come back to me again but now i am happy she's back and we are married now and we live as a happy family..Am posting this to the forum if anyone needs the man’s help.contact him through his email: (divine.spells @ yahoo. com)“

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

“Ogie’s is the quintessential 21-to-40 something hipster Providence hangout spot. You can eat at the restaurant without alcohol (or age restriction). Its charm comes from a laissez-faire feel: people with dogs, various random bar happenings, high-low culture banter. Food is exceptionally prepared American cuisine with zero health consciousness. I would highly recommend going. It is wicked unlike a local bar, though.“

“Charleys Place has been a long-time local neighborhood bar for decades.

The new owner, Mike and Manager, Riley, have a mix of staff of friendly & approachable mixologists!

Each staff member has their own distinctive witty and upbeat energy!

People near and far... Stop on in!...

Never underestimate the power of positivity or witty conversations while enjoying a cozy, warming environment.“

“Great place to eat. Phenomenal atmosphere. Owners are great people. Very cozy and welcoming. Really treat you like family.“

“My daughter and I have been wanting to go here since the start of the pandemic! Finally made it. It is the cutest bar. Small inside but heated patio outside. We went when they first opened on NYE. The most friendly staff I’ve ever encountered. The cocktails were delicious. Definitely going back in the warmer weather •“

“MY FAVORITE HANG, IN THE 70,S..!! CASSIDY, STAFF.! WHEN BACK IN TOWN , LOVE TO STOP BY...PEACE.. FITTY.“

“Standard hole in the wall drive bar. Order a screwdriver and get fresh squeezed oranges, I couldn't believe it. Cash only, ATM in the back.

Fun people, they have a touch tunes. Great place to hang out, not spend a boatload of money and have good time.“

“Once you realize that fast and smiling service is not really their thing then you’ll settle in just fine . Classic downtown dive bar vibe with a decent beer selection at very reasonable prices. I could see myself returning here for sure .“

“I came here with my brother for the first time last week and Tim was fantastic. The food was good and the drinks were even better. I highly recommend this place as its quiet and everyone who comes in is extremely friendly including the staff.“

“I went to my children father's service cuz he passed away so the family have after service meal I asked for a bathroom the gentleman showed me where it I went got 3 drink at bar two sodas n Corona I think I spent maybe 8.00 that gentleman was very kind n fast it was also pretty clean I never ever been inside Tyra club n I have been in Woonsocket for 29 year I been in the parking lot before a few good times I have never seen anything bad happen never never seen cops there none of the food that was service I believe all of the food was from a catering company that had nothing to do with the Tyra club“

“great place to have a beer“

“Really fun time with The Hillbilly Thomists!“

“Great spot. For me it's around the corner. If your not that close I totally recomend this spot for summer fun, especially for motorcycles of all types. Sunday's there is a free cookout. Overall a great spot to enjoy good atmosphere and cheap drinks“

“Good music good food nice staff“

“always a good time , highly recommended“

“Great place! Wish we lived closer so we could come again! Charlie was AMAZING ? ? Very knowledgeable about the drinks, great personality too. We came in right before a small lunch rush so Charlie had a chance to chat with us for a little bit. Food was great, cheese burger sliders and smoked hickory wings were my favorite! Hush puppies were good too! The seasonal Candy Apple drink was delicious! The only critique I would give would be to add maple/honey/hot honey to their bacon brussel sprouts (I got a side of honey to add, which kicked 'em up the notch I needed) Overall, great experience and food!“

“PARTIED HARD HERE IN 70,s..! STOPPED IN. OK BAR.!!“

“Coldest beers in Rhode Island. Nice clean atmosphere good service friendly staff. Good music with a great DJ. Will definitely be returning soon“

“Always a good time Thursday through Saturday nights are the best popping with the best dressed and the who's who of Woonsocket are always in attendance Asia the bartender is not only beautiful and courteous, but she also knows her patrons well and engages in conversation with all of them, which results in wonderful tips might i add and customer retention“

“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. 🍻“
