They also have a great jukebox. Bartenders are friendly and quick. There's usually some kind of punch available with a name like Ecto-cooler which is a weird color but completely delicious if you're into that sort of thing. They sometimes have pop-ups there, one time they had fancy grilled cheese sandwiches. Definitely a fun spot! It's pretty small inside so just know that and don't roll in with a huge crew...

My husband got a sour that was just okay, I got the down east peach mango. It was on the sweet side domino my had one. Great, friendly service. The chicken tenders were a big win.

The best burgers and house cute fries can be found at boundary in Pawtucket. The Abbies didn't even compare. Good old school music playing. Overall cool atmosphere and decent food for a little divey bar in Prov. Prices were reasonable.

Nautical-themed neighborhood bar in a scenic part of Providence near Brown University…read more My girlfriend and I had planned to come to Captain Seaweeds while visiting the city and stopped in right when it opened. The building is pretty unassuming from the outside as it is located in a quiet part of town, though there is plenty to stare at as soon as you walk in the front door - the walls are covered with interesting trinkets from ship wheels and pirates to a 5-ft tiki sculpture in the corner. The outdoor patio is even more decked-out - much larger than I was expecting and fully-equipped with private tables and unique decor, including a coy pond and life-size statue of the ol' Cap'n himself. The best part of our time here was spent interacting with Michael - the man behind the bar. He was very friendly, engaging, and had plenty of great stories to tell. We felt very welcome the entire time and will definitely be stopping in again the next time we're in Providence!

It's not surprising that it was a relatively older crowd, with some great dancers who were really fun to watch. Street parking only, which makes it a little difficult when there are piles of snow.

I was a little confused because when we came it wasn't a margarita but I think vodka based? I kept trying to figure out exactly what it was and what was in it but it wasn't on the menu online or the bar menu and no one could exactly tell me. Whatever it was did taste good on a hot day but I think I'd rather have a regular margarita and keep my ice cream separate.
