50 Best Cocktail Bars near Smithfield

“Been coming here since their initial location in Greenville. Went to their new location and loved it. Definitely smaller, but loved the intimate setting. Especially when guests embrace the concept. It’s like you’re all experiencing dining together prompting conversation with strangers gathering for the common love of food. Love everything about this new place. Oh and the food is still phenomenal.“

“Pleasant and friendly staff with lots of smiling. Quick seating on a busy night. Large menu. Fair prices. Large portions. Drinks and food came out within 15 minutes. The martini of the week, dinner, and dessert were delicious.“

“Exceptional food and fantastic service! I would highly recommend asking for the server Kevin B. What a well rounded server who gave us several suggestions which we were all impressed with.“

“As I said “ INTERESTING PLACE ““

“The cocktails were great, the bartender was even better! We didn't eat, but you have to rate the food to proceed with this survey; not to mention it took two passwords, one text & one email, to give this survey...mot good OpenTable!“

“thanks for a friendly, fun, entertaining afternoon. Food was so flavorful and the drinks were delicious 😋 jazz music was so enjoyable 🥰“

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

“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.“

“First time as was in town from Newport to see Little Jagged Pill at PPAC. Bartender (Tim?) was excellent friendly, knowledgeable on menu and made great handcrafted drinks. Manager (she moved here from NYC) was also excellent. I ordered the pork loin special, one of my friends ordered to porchetta over grits (I was a bit jealous as it was amazing. Overall a great experience.“

“We tried Needle & Thread during Providence Restaurant Week and it was fabulous. Drinks were amazing and the short ribs were so delicious. The interior is gorgeous and adds to the speakeasy vibe. We will definitely visit again!“

“I went there for Brunch for the first time. I had a really great experience. The food was delicious and portion size was perfect. Prices are also affordable and the quality of the ingredients was really good. I really appreciated the service I received and that she helped me make informed decisions about what I was ordering. 10/10 experience and will definitely return.“

“Classic dark interior low lighting cocktail lounge. Our party of four enjoyed a mix of cocktails and a couple of beers at reasonable prices. Only a brief visit on this occasion as it was the one for the road as they say but would definitely return when I have more time.“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting Fleur for a private event this past weekend. Everything was lovely and our hosts were so accommodating. I especially enjoyed the cutie bartender who made me a great vodka martini with 5 olives and then winked at me when I closed out. 5/5 experience overall. Great clams and linguine.“

“Loved the scallop roll and fries with GH seasoning. Cross between a barn mi and lobster roll. The bread was perfection warm , soft, buttery on the inside. Right amount of crust on the outside. The scallops were delicious. The seasoning on the fries made them stand out and complemented the roll. Staff were attentive, kind and helpful.“

“Great service, ambiance, and sushi.“

“Great atmosphere! And Christine our server was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. She checked on us consistently- thanks! I only got pics of our appetizers as we were hungry and chowed on our mani courses. Started with a 1930 DAQ, Wawtuhmelon and a Vino Rosso Gaio - all drinks were tasty! We started with the Truffle fries and the Crispy Duck Meatballs- oh my both were great! The flavor in the Duck meatballs was amazing! The sweet chili glaze just hits it out of the park! On to dinner I ordered the Steak Frites - excellent flavor and cooked perfect! Wife ordered the Chicken Picatta - very tasty with a great lemon flavor! Daughter ordered the Pink Vodka - also really flavorful with interesting noodles I had not had before. Thank you for a great experience- we shall be back! Thanks Chef Max!“

“Walking in is a vibe on its own, not to many restaurants have that. It almost feels like your not even in Providence anymore.Started off with some apps, i got the Spicy Shrimp( the sauce on the shrimp was very very good!) and the calamari. I personally dipped my calamari in the spicy shrimp sauce but thats a conversation for a different day.Unfortunately i didn’t get to have my drink in a flamingo or a lil piggy but thats ok. The drinks were very good!The Chicken Milanese was a bit too thin (my opinion) but it was good.The steak was cooked to perfection, the mushroom risotto was very very good too. Im definitely getting the tomahawk next time i come.“

“Went for the first time today. Had the love boat for two. Very enjoyable“

“Location/decor/ambiance: the owners have tried to turn the spacious brick and beam interior of a former factory building into a ghetto-ish inner cityscape skateboard park using graffiti-style airbrush graphics, little skateboards that serve as bar chair seat backs, concrete floors painted with Providence manhole covers, etc. Visually, the effect is mixed. I “get” what the owners are trying for, but it isn’t for me an “attractive” dining decor. It looks much more like a dance club for young twenty-somethings. I quickly adjusted to the inner-city grunge decor, but what we couldn’t adjust to was the VERY loud rap/hip-hop music blaring out of some very robust speakers non-stop. Talking was difficult. Yes, I’m an older person, but I don’t begrudge anyone their musical sensibilities… provide its not full of “***** and “nigga” and roaring out at at least 90 decibels. Whatever they’re trying to be, they need to remember that they are l (at 10 am) a restaurant, not a dance club. Food & service: unexpectedly, given the above criticism, the food was outstanding, I mean really good. Caught us off guard. Just beautifully imagined and realized. Would I return? Probably not. Even the great food cant quite overcome the soundscape. Interesting place, though“

“Amazing best service and lounge“

“Had an incredible meal there last night! The buffalo chicken egg rolls, the Rogue Melt, and the lobster Mac & cheese. All amazing! I’m more of a vodka drinker but the beer selection was incredible and our waiter helped me pick the perfect wheat beer! 100% I’d go back (when in town). A definite 2 thumbs up!“

“One of the best cigar bars in RI! The ventilation system is incredible, every seat is very comfortable and their selection is top notch. Highly recommend!“

“Dined here last night before PPAC, for that reason we made an early dinner reservation. I confirmed when calling they had valet parking. We arrived to find no valet attendant. After some back and forth with hostess and manager my husband was finally able to come inside for dinner, nearly 30 mins wasted. Our server AJ provided exemplarry service; she was personable and knew the menu like the back of her hand. We appreciated her service, and our dinners were all very good. As we departed we confirmed with the tardy valet attendant if we could leave the car and pick up after the show as we do with neighboring establishments and he said no because they would be closed by the time the show was over; this couldn’t have been further from the truth. The valet was rude, late, and it’s terribly unfortunate that the valet ruined what could have been a great dinner with friends.“

“Love this place. Just moved from NYC. Bianca has made me some of the best mocktails I’ve ever tried. Explain your palate and watch her bring it life. She nails it every time. I’ve tried mocktails and cocktails on this menu and it’s one of my favorite spots Providence so far.“

“We have been to Bandidos a LOT and we have always had an amazing experience. The food is wonderful, the drinks are delicious and the staff is so warm and friendly. I have yet to order the same thing twice, and everything has been delicious! We just used them as a caterer for an event and it was flawless, the portions were plentiful and everything was SO GOOD! They made it effortless, they set everything up for us and everyone had been raving about it! Bandidos will be the first place I go to for all of my catering needs in the future!“

“Great place and wonderful food good service“

“Hands down one of the best meals ever prepared was done with Distinguish catering. Very professional and the quality of the meal on point. I cant wait to try more of their menu options!“

“Love the place. Always a new taco to try. Serious taco lovers won't be disappointed.“

“What do I recommend….Absolutely everything ! This is the Italian restaurant experience everyone should have. You’re treated like family. The food is absolutely delicious. Every dish that came to our table looked and tasted like the main ingredient is love. If you are fortunate enough to go when Mama’s stuffed squash flowers are on the specials menu, you better try them. Isabella our waitress was absolutely amazing. This place made me and my family feel like we were regulars. It’s that place. Just go. You’re gonna love it !! 💯❤️“

“Fast and friendly services and very good foods. Love it❤️️❤️️🍹🍷🍸“

“You got the best fish and chips! Staff was super nice! I tried the oysters and they were amazing also!“

“Great food!!! …you do need to invest in real Martini glasses!!!“

“View is amazing! Staff is attentive and friendly.“

“I do NOT understand the poor reviews: this restaurant is amazing! The food is always incredible, the bartender is skilled and delightful, the servers are smart and polished, and the manager is a doll who goes out if his way to seat us - whether it’s my husband and I on a date night or our huge family of 8. Love love love!“

“Amazing food, staff and surroundings. Classy but yet cozy. Food portions are huge and ohh so flavorful. Totally impressed that the owner Shane makes a point to visit all his customers and even kicks in to keep operations running smooth. Cant wait to try something new. My goal is to try everything! So far nothing has disapointed!“

“Yellow Door in Providence offers a fantastic dining experience with a great atmosphere both inside and out on the back patio. The space feels vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a casual night out or a relaxed evening with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the service was excellent from start to finish.

We stopped in for RI Food Fights 'Taco Mania!' and had the Birria and Duck tacos, both were outstanding — full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The quality of the food really stands out. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and overall experience make it well worth it.

A nice bonus: they offer $5 tacos on Tuesdays, which is a perfect excuse to go back.

Overall, Yellow Door is a standout for anyone looking for delicious tacos, great service, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere in Providence.“

“A wonderful restaurant, we ate at before a show at the Strand a couple of blocks away.. Squash bisque for apps and Chicken Parm and Tagliatelle Bolonese for entrees, all delicious. Laid back atmosphere and great service from our waiter Dennis. Highly recommended!“

“We hosted a party and had Durk’s cater. The food was delicious. Everyone raved about the brisket specifically!! We had 2 guests that needed gluten free and’s they worked closely with us to assure we got plenty of options. They forgot to bring the chafing dishes and went out of their way to drive 20 minutes up the road to get new ones for us. Talk about above and beyond! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for catered barbecue.“

“The best in town try it you will like it great owners definitely awesome“

“Amazing dumplings. Food was fantastic“

“From the moment we walked into Terra Negra, everything was absolutely amazing! ✨ I came from out of state, and this was my very first time going out in Providence, Rhode Island — and wow, what an experience! 🥰

Our server, Fredlyne, was beyond incredible. 🙌 She was so attentive, kind, and made us feel truly welcomed the entire time. She never missed a detail and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. 🌟

The food? Simply spectacular! 🍽️🔥 Every bite was full of flavor, and you can tell they put a lot of love and quality into their dishes. The hookah was also perfect — smooth, flavorful, and made the vibe even better. 💨💫

The service overall was top-tier. We felt so well taken care of the whole night, and that’s something that really makes the difference. 💕

If you’re ever in Providence, Terra Negra is definitely the place to go! Highly recommend it for amazing food, unforgettable service, and the best atmosphere. 🥂✨“

“I very much enjoyed my experience at OURS. The food was delectable and the drinks were tasteful. I very much enjoyed the wings with the Garlic as well as the Steak Tikka. It was $30 which some might consider pricey, but came with a very large portion of food. It included hummus, nan, rice, a salad and of course the steak, so I’d say it’s fairly priced. Overall I enjoyed the food and will certainly return but next time I’ll try the hookah!“

“Absolutely amazing! The food was great and the staff were wonderful. Lilah was our waitress and she was the best, very attentive, kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!“

“The food was amazing and we had a number of different dishes from lo mein, dim sum, sushi, general tzo's shrimp, and sesame chicken. They were all great! We were on a time constraint and our waitress made it happen. Food was there in no time and she was a fantastic waitress. Our entire party loved it and look forward to going again the next time we are in Providence.“

“Good music and wonderful staff ❤️“

“We went here for the first time Friday night. Food and drinks were amazing. Wish I could remember our servers name because he was great, made excellent recommendations. We had the frutti di mare with homemade pasta and Bolognase. So good. My pear martini was the best I’ve ever had. Adffogato for dessert. Think this is our new favorite spot. Thanks for a great evening!“

“A great time in downtown Providence!“
