I have always been a fan of Ciro's charm. Even before the remodel and new ownership I used to visit with my great grandfather who was a good friend of the previous owner, Curly. The upper level was what my sister and I used to refer to as Beauty and the Beast's castle when we were younger, as it has an awesome medieval theme, which you really have to see to believe. Basically, the history of this place is just awesome and I'm glad to see it fully revived and thriving again. My boyfriend and I decided to stop in last Friday, as his colleague was performing in the live band that night. We arrived around 8pm and the place was packed. We would've been there a bit sooner had we not drove around a bit looking for parking. It appears the lot that used to be reserved for Ciro's before the remodel has now been bought by Chan's. I pulled into the lot and was chased down by who I'm assuming was a Chan's employee, who then told me if I wasn't parking there for Chan's I needed to pay $5 (no thank you). Once we found a FREE spot, we walked in to a super crowded dining area, it turns out a high school reunion was going on upstairs. We then found an empty table near the bar but were soon told it was reserved and we had to move (no sign on the table or anything). Within the first half hour we were pretty annoyed, but eventually snagged two seats at the bar and it was a nice time from there on. Our bartender, Nicole, was fantastic and knows how to make a good drink. We also ran into quite a few old friends during our time here which was nice as well. The food was also much better than what I was expecting and my burger was actually cooked a perfect medium rare, which doesn't happen often at restaurants these days. Upon leaving I noticed a sign inside Ciro's telling guests where they can park, which I can appreciate for next time. Ciro's certainly has potential for a perfect rating from me, but unfortunately not just yet. read more

If it weren't for the half-priced pizzas, I would give this place no stars. My husband and I go often for the half-priced pizza between 4 and 6. He has to get a water because they charge for soda refills. One of the bartenders can't pour a beer to save her life ending up with an inch and some head with half the beer going down the drain to compensate for her incompetence. The kicker was the other night when I went with a girlfriend. We ordered the chicken tenders. I got the Thai and she got buffalo and had to ask for ranch and I got no dipping sauce. The plate came without celery or carrots. The Thai tenders were bland with no spice to them at all. Unimpressive for $8.99. The piece de resistance was watching a bartender pour 1800 tequila from a rocks glass back into the bottle because he had over-poured. Are you kidding me?!?!?!? Remind me never to get a mixed drink in this place. Overall, I am not impressed and would not go back but will appease my husband with his half-priced pizza and will stick with water. read more

This place was almost great but left me disappointed. We waited briefly at the bar before the hostess asked us if we minded sitting upstairs. It seemed fine so up we went! Our server had no idea what beers were on tap- they advertise 6 rotating taps and the standard 6 taps in the menu, half were not actually on tap. I asked for an IPA, he brought me "Fat Tire Fanny IPA." My husband got "Sam Adams Hoponius." Neither of those are real beers- just a mismatch of names from the current and prior tap list. Super disappointed as it looked like they had Revelry Fanny IPA, Fat Tire Lager, and Sam Adams Hopscade from the tap handles downstairs. Maybe? Who knows? I almost sent mine back because a lager is not an IPA (I think I got Fat Tire Lager) but I took pity on the poor kid. I know craft beer is a confusing world but just get a full beer list and show it to me. I can look up descriptions but not with made up names. The building is spectacular but upstairs was very cold, probably due to the stained glass windows. It was good for groups but downstairs looked warmer and more intimate. The upstairs would be good for a function. The food was mixed. We got queso over fries- homemade queso was very good. My husband got the $14 chicken BLT pizza which looked really good and he liked it. I got the margarita flatbread and it was so sad. It was less than half the size of the pizza (but $5 cheaper) and all of the cheese was on one side so the other side was just sauce and tomatoes. I'm not sure if it slid over when preparing but it was just bland and not that good. Overall it was pretty affordable at under $50 for two before tip. I think I would still go back as these are easy fixes but still disappointed. read more

The first thing to keep in mind about Ciro's is that it is, first and foremost, a tavern. It's dark and cozy and has all the trappings of an entirely un-sleezy neighborhood pub with a real tavern feel. It is one of my favorite places in Woonsocket to grab a drink and a bite to eat with friends. It's family friendly but the evening hours tend to bring the crowd in. $.35 wing night (Thursday) is a special treat that is only made better by the trivia game going on. I love the free soup (for flavor and price!) and have never been unsatisfied with a meal or the service there. Bottom line: This is a tavern first, a family restaurant second. read more

I can count the times I've visited Woonsocket on one hand. My friend who lives in Woonsocket had her 30th birthday party at Ciro's. In the upstairs Hogwarts-esque section. We had a sit down buffet dinner. The food was great I especially liked the roasted potato. The décor was pretty cool and different than most places I've been. I will most definitely return. read more

Our group of four "mature" folks arrived very early, about 4:15pm on a Wed. The place was tricky to reach because of one-way streets. Inside, the place was very dim but with big TV screens. I liked the decor with quirky midieval paintings and comfy large chairs. But there were no quiet spots for dinner conversation! The waiter was attentive but not friendly. He forgot to take half off for Lady's night. The food seemed very promising on the menu but was not well-made. The sangria was sweet like fruit-punch, and something was wrong with the gin & tonic. The calamari appetizer arrived cold and oily, even though we were the only guests. The lemon-shrimp risotto was salty, the broiled sole oily, the asparagus burnt, and the steak fatty. They had no creme brûlée, and the coffee was tasteless. It seemed as if the original owners were creative and cared, but now they're gone. The place is still cool but precision needs to be regained on food and drinks. read more

Good food and free entertainment on the weekends. You can bring your fido to the outside patio, but if you have trouble walking, stay indoors. I now use a walker and found outside entirely too hard to push my walker over the small rocks covering the ground. We were a large group and everyone enjoyed their food. Our server was nice and attentive. My only criticism would be with the drink I ordered, my over priced mojito had very little lime or mint taste and was mostly just alcohol with a lime peel and mint leaf floating in it. Other drinks seemed fine. read more

Ciro's Tavern - Entertainment and lively conversations! - Pubs Near Me - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

The bartenders are great. The beers are well selected. The food is amazing. Decor is unlike any other. The crowd is always a blast. It can get real busy on the weekend, so know your bar etiquette before you step up. Tip: 1 bathroom downstairs, 2 upstairs. Make yourself at home, enjoy the company. read more

Service was great. Outdoor patio great. Some of the best crab cakes my wife and I have had. I had the steak sandwich for dinner. It was a legit full piece of steak, not the cheaper shaved version. Was cooked perfectly and the fries were great. My wife had the fish sandwich, which she loved as well. Free valet parking on the weekends was an added bonus. Definitely worth driving to Woonsocket! read more

My husband and have an 80th birthday party to my dad. The staff was pleasant, courteous and gave it their all. The food was delicious and raved about by guests. The hall was perfect for our event. The decor was Renaissance era and beautifully decorated. read more

When I want to drink in Woonsocket, this is my place. Maybe its because I never had crazy high expectations, but every time I visit has been good to fantastic. For a glorified bar, the menu has everything from typical pub food to lamb. I have a couple favorites, the federal hill "grilled" pizza. It says grilled, but really its greek pizza. It comes with sausage, meatball, and ricotta. The winner for me is their outstanding wings! Get the thai flavored (be open minded) ones and you won't be disappointed. I haven't tried the sliders yet, but I've that they are the best 'bang for your buck' item. The inside decor is get and they have plenty of TVs to watch the game. The beer, wine, and alcohol is typical of what you would expect. My one complant is the staff is inconsistant. One night its "hi, patron we love you guys!" but the next it could be "Its 11pm and we want to leave early! (closing at 1am) I know lets make this really uncomfortable in here to get you to leave." My favorite staff personality is when the staff is intellectually on the same level as a bunch of beavers. Either way its easy to forget how stupid or lazy the staff can be when I'm sinking my chops into some tasty wings with a cold beer. read more

The waitress was great. Food, so so. I had the mango salad and the basalmic vinegar overtook the entire meal. $8 margarita came in plastic cup. If I wanted a plastic cup I'd have made a margarita at home. Definately not worth the price, but ok. When wait staff asked how the dinner was they did their best to make it right. They brought me a glass for my drink and comped me dessert. Wait staff was professional and truly seemed to want me to be happy with the meal. read more

Came here today on the recommendation of a friend who said it was "the ONLY place in Woonsocket" that is a good restaurant. I was not disappointed. We came in as a party of 6 in the mid afternoon so we were seated right away. They seem like they have a pretty decent beer selection, I ordered a Revival IPA because they're local. For food I ordered the lobster BLT and it was delicious. Nice pieces of juicy lobster over smoky bacon on a buttery pretzel roll with seasoned mayo and lettuce and tomato....you really can't go wrong. I would totally order this again. The fries that came with it were just regular pub fries - nothing special but they're fries- so they tasted good. My friend ordered the poutine and was disappointed because it was not made with authentic cheese curds - it was like cheez-wiz and then topped with gravy. So, don't order the poutine if you're from Vermont or Canada - you'll probably be sad if you do. The bathroom also smelled like urine. I thought maybe it's because there is a urinal in addition to a toilet, but my friends commented they noticed pee all over the floor. This is an easy fix though. I would come back here again if I'm in Woonsocket. read more

We had such a good time here yesterday watching the game outside. It was a much better experience than our first time service-wise. On our first trip at the inside bar the 2 bartenders couldn't have been any more disinterested in serving guests and were just gossiping amongst themselves and with a friend they had at the bar, and were definitely annoyed they were working. This time we had the bartender outside and he couldn't have been nicer and was a really good server. The food was also really good, some of the best wings I've had in a long time! The outside area is so pretty and the harvest sangria is to die for. I can't wait to go back. Only minus one star due to inconsistent service which is evident in other reviews too. read more

Love ciros. Great food and atmosphere. We went there to watch a patriots playoff game. Great place to watch a game. They just added Sunday brunch and I can't wait to try it. read more

Always take my girlfriend in for lady's night..where she drinks a whole bottle of wine. Super friendly staff, food is always consistently well prepared and yummy. I'm a big fan of the steak tips. Decent beer selection, cocktails are enjoyable. We're very excited to try the outdoor seating with our pup soon!! read more

I went in with a party of three. As we were in a bad mood due to being in town for a loved one's funeral, it's surprising that by the time we left Ciro's our mood had greatly lifted. It was probably due to our fun and sweet server, great food and feeling like the prices were good. I thought the decor was dark and odd (Medieval theme), but I see from talking to others and reading other reviews that some people like this, and I guess that it's good to have some restaurants decorate in a different style than I'm used to. I'd definitely go back and hope that it's a good patio weather day when I get back there. read more

Love Ciro's! This is always my our "go to" drinking spot during the summer because of their beautiful patio! Not to mention, their food is out of this world. I am obsessed with their fig flatbread. It is the perfect mix of salty and sweet! The bartenders are always lookin' out for you, especially on the crazy busy weekends. Parking seems to be a little difficult on the weekend, especially if there is a show at the Stadium Theater. Never stopped me from finding my way, though. read more

I've been here many times over the past 50 years, recently before or after an event at the Stadium Theatre. I've always found it fine, not great, but perfectly adequate. Incredibly easy to get to from the Theatre and always staffed by pleasant, helpful people. They have the status of being, essentially, the only choice in town with the vomings and going's of numerous other venues over the years. This time I have to say I was disappointed, to the state where I left my entire meal. We were a group of four. We shared an order of Poutine which, again, was only adequate. The cheese curds turned out to be a little shredded cheese melted over the fries with a small amount of brown gravy. Again, adequate but no great shakes. The others got a sandwich or tacos and we're happy. I ordered Chicken Marsala and got chicken grilled to a crusty, chewey mass which was difficult to cut and even more difficult to eat layered over mushy mashed potatoes and without a hint of Marsala. I left the entire meal and the server didn't have the common sense to ask why. I suppose I should have complained but I didn't want to embarrass the others. So, it does seem to be the only show in town so I'll probably be back but I'll just order the cheapest thing on the menu with no expectations. No wine list. Choose your type and that's it. Generic M/F restroom on first floor, individual M and F on second floor. Small parking lot next to building, on street parking, looks like outdoor patio for nicer weather. read more

Ciro's is a bad section of town, but once you walk inside it's nice, the ambience is nice, very rustic taverny type of place. The food was very good, but the wait, it took a long time for the food to come, but at least when it came it was hot. The waitress was new, but she kept taking away plates and napkins too soon, the free soup was a nice touch. The peach sangria was really good, but at 8 dollars a glass, a glass filled with ice, it was overpriced. Do not get the fried twinkies for dessert, it was really kind of soggy and gross, very disappointing. read more

Corner bar with lots of dark wood and a pleasant deck setup during the warmer months. Solid food offerings. You'll be able to find a good number of seats/booths without television interference. Generally helpful staff... limited draughts. read more

Service was atrocious. so dark you could not read the menu. ordered a steak with a demi glaze sauce, sweeter then a candy apple'. fish and chips, burnt and dry. YUK! nuf said read more

Beautiful patio for a drink and a bite to eat on a cool,summer evening. Solid food, great service, and a good selection of drinks made this a great stop while traveling from Chicago to visit family in RI. Great little place. read more

Great food, tasty drinks and cool outdoor area. Can be a pretty busy on the weekends but definitely worth the wait.

Food was nothing special but enjoyable. Our waitress was relatively awful-just had an unhelpful and unfriendly way about her. Best part by far about Ciro's is the patio. I will return simply because of that. read more

Call first to check if they are using a theater menu! All my favorites were altered from the menu! They make you pay extra if you need rice in lieu of potatoes! NO SUBTITUTIONS! We don't come here to please the cook! Yuck! Ugh! A totally different feel from a non theater night. The food didn't come out as it noted on the menu. We had ordered buffalo chicken nachos. The menu said it came with blue cheese. NO blue cheese! The steak I ordered well done was pink! The staff was so busy it was hard to get any attention. This place was always my favorite and may be except don't go on a theater night! UGH! read more

I went to Ciros yesterday with my mom and brother. It's easy enough to find - but watch out for the nearby one-way roads! Ample parking coupled with fast service and Tons of food. I felt pleasantly stuffed after consuming my fish and chips. We went for a late lunch and the place had a moderate crowd. The bar was pretty packed - probably in anticipation of the Patriots game. I'm not in town all that often, but I'd definitely come back again, and highly recommend readers check it out as well. read more

We were there last night and the service was great. My husband said it was the best burger he ever had, and we've had a lot of burgers.

We were looking for a place to grab a drink and decided to stop by Ciro's. After being there for 30 mins the music started to change and it was obvious the waiter was letting her friends that were drinking at the bar pick the music... they were a group of young drunk kids maybe 21. They started playing Tupac and other type of music not really appropriate for a family restaurant. The couple next to us arrived and left 5 minuets later, clearly because of the music. We finished our drinks and left. The manager on should've stepped in and maybe not let drunk kids pick the restaurants music. read more

Seems like a cool local tavern. First time tonight and came for the steak and cheese sandwich the phantom gourmet raves about as part of "the great eight" steak sandwiches. Sadly not so much. Was literally 1 single piece of thick steak on a soggy roll. Steak was easily 30% inedible from gristle. Just revolting. I've had a fillet mignon steak sandwich elsewhere that was heavenly. Fat you can't bite through is just putrid. Pineapple mule was delicious. read more

Says that they're open but just drove here and they are closed. Very disappointed as this seemed to be the best spot for what we wanted to eat read more

After waiting at Coachmen's lodge in Bellingham well over 2 hours for a patio table & never being seated, we were starving & decided to see how Ciro's was on a Friday night at 9pm. We were seated right away by a friendly hostess. We had a great waitress, Kristin, who was friendly and attentive. Beautiful atmosphere, packed bar area, live music. Good food came out quickly. Their stuffies casino special was delicious and the cashew salmon even better. Between the delicious sangria & our great waitress, our night was saved by Ciro's! read more

The atmosphere here is very classy and laid back at the same time. The service was excellent as was the food. The fish and chips were perfection as was the steak. The cocktails are a bit on the pricey side but they have some interesting drinks. All in all a very good experience. We will be back! read more

The patio outside is beautiful and live music on a Sunday afternoon. So far so good. I ordered fish tacos- limp fish pieces with a delicious shrimp slaw in top good but please , crisp the fish!! Lobster pizza with small bits of lobster crumbles unevenly distributed on top of a cheap, frozen crust product that they call grilled. Awful! You get better pizza in a high school cafeteria. Service was good, music good, atmosphere good. Please, fix the food! read more

By far my favorite place ever!!! Very friendly and professional staff. Food was delicious ambiance was perfect love love the lighting. I will be going back a lot and will recommend to everyone I know and don't know. I can't believe I lived in Woonsocket for 10 years and just discovered this magnificent place. God bless them all. read more

Stopped in for dinner, good vibe inside, and the steak tips were very good. The reason I can only give 3 stars is some of the seating isn't great and only 1 unisex bathroom, which means you are waiting in line should the need arise read more

Went here for the first time at my daughter's recommendation and was so glad I did! My meal was absolutely delicious! I had the steak tips which were tender and flavorful, the best risotto I've ever had and yummy green beans. My daughter's boyfriend had the fish and chips which he said was delicious and the piece of fish was huge! My youngest daughter had pasta from the kids menu (which looked homemade) and she ate it all. The only bad thing was the scoop of vanilla ice cream that came with the kids meal, it was kind of freezer burned. Loved the atmosphere of the restaurant too. Will definitely be going back soon! read more

My favorite go to restaurant, outdoor area is beautiful with a nice huge bar and plenty of tables. 2 fire pits and a fireplace. The inside is great too, dark better for a cold day or rainy. The wings are to die for, the Thai are my favorite. I would give 5 stars but the burgers, that are usually outstanding, have been well over cooked the past 4X me or my husband have had them. Fries are fresh cut and awesome! They always have an excellent band on Friday nights too! read more

I've only sat outside during the summer this year being my first and only time so far, but they offered great food and drink specials, that were delicious. Deducting a star as the service was sub-par this particular evening. I will adjust if this isn't a regular occurrence, but will definitely be back! read more

favorite place to go to for a drink. i get a patron margarita every time, because they have the best homemade sour mix! i havent had much of their food yet, but from what i have seen & tried its very well worth it. read more
