Food: We only ordered drinks, nachos and churros. But the…read morenachos were good, the cheese was melted in a way that when it dries it hardens a bit and I love that part. It's also very shareable (thought I took a pic but didn't..oops!). The churros were crispy and came in 4 pieces with a side of chocolate to dip. It was good but could be a bit softer inside. Overall, good spot to meet up for drinks and snacks! Service: Our waitress was super attentive and very nice. She checked in on us often. Ambiance: It's a nice spot. Looks like a big log cabin and plenty of tables and seatings. Great for watching sports too. There was a singer there for the night and he was good! There's also a parking lot in the front. Would go again.

Food on floor, tables had a crayon used as a shim to keep from wobbling. It even smelled like a greasy old friendlys. I watched someone clear 2 tables and not wipe them down (he apologized and wiped them down after). I canceled my food order and paid for my two sodas. They were very nice about it, so extra star for not being rude to me but the owner really needs to have this place deep cleaned and make some updates. I remember coming here to the grand opening and really loving it here. We often visit the one in Smithfield and it's clean and food always delicious. I felt bad but I'm a little OCD (I'm a nurse) and have had food poisoning in the past. If the common areas are dirty I worry what the kitchen looks like.

Not too messy. The celery served with the wings was downright squishy, though, which gave me the ick. **The bar & high top seating area is definitely the best place to watch the game, with multiple huge screens. The area is a bit cramped, unfortunately. It felt a bit clausty. The floors, tables, & menus were sticky, too.

Good spot for a happy hour drink and snack or a great place to watch the game with friends! Both…read morethe food and drinks are high quality for a sports bar. The ambience: The bar area can be loud and boisterous so you have to be in the mood for that vibe. That being said, it's fun and welcoming with great service. The food and drinks: Their specialty cocktails are strong, taste good and are affordably priced. I had a cherry one (can't remember the name) but it was flavorful and not too sweet. They also have a large selection of beers both on tap and in cans. The shrimp Poboy is absolutely huge and stuffed with well seasoned fried shrimp and the accompanying sweet potato fries were crispy and delicious. We ordered a greek salad to go and it was a generous portion covered with kalamata olives, feta cheese and picked vegetables. My only tip would be to have them put toppings on the side next time to keep the lettuce crispy. Otherwise a very satisfying salad! We tried to order the fish sandwich but both times they have been sold out so I guess it must be good! Definitely plan to go back to try more menu items and cocktails!

When I went in to pick up my food the vibe of the restaurant was definitely more like I was gonna go hang out at a friend's house. I'll definitely be back to eat in.

My thoughts on the food: it's alright!! I enjoyed my drink, which was one of the Super Bowl…read morespecials. I also liked the wings, we tried garlic Parmesan, buffalo, and Thai chili I believe. They were my favorite part. We also ordered the buffalo chicken pizza, which in my opinion was very bleu cheesey, but I also do not have much experience with buffalo chicken pizza. My concern was that the crust was really thin and just not that great, but still had a couple slices. The buffalo sauce was good for sure. We also had the cookie skillet for dessert which was very ooey gooey but perhaps a little too sweet. You may be thinking, "well yeah of course it's sweet, it's a cookie skillet," but it was an over powering sweetness. But it was a really good portion for sharing with my group of three! The vibe here was pretty nice, the old-firehouse-turned-bar is cool and the decor matches the aesthetic well. There are booths in little nooks and others out in the open and I like the variability. They also have a privateish area for private events. Theres even a parking lot! The service was also good, I was there for their Super Bowl watch party, and while it wasn't insanely busy, the servers were very attentive. As I said, I came here for the Super Bowl with some friends. They had raffles going, a DJ, plenty of TVs showing the game, some free swag, and a special menu. It was nice! They had a special drink menu, although it did advertise deals on food which ended up not being true. I had fun watching the game here, and while the place wasn't packed, most of the other spectators were from the local colleges... they were rather annoying, especially by the end of the night. Different groups were arguing with each other by the end, and one kid swore at the DJ for drawing a raffle winner that wasn't one of the college kids. The kids were leaving so the staff didn't need to intervene I'd say. But it brought us non-college student patrons together. Ah, the game day spirit! So if you're looking for a mature crowd, this may not be the place!

You know those spots that make you wonder if anyone in the kitchen has tasted their own food…read morebefore? Ladder 133 is that kind of beautiful disappointment - a place where the bones of something great are buried under the mediocrity of execution. The building itself, a converted Providence firehouse, practically begs you to love it. Red brick exterior, high ceilings, industrial charm that whispers stories of brass poles and midnight alarms. The kind of place that should be serving food as honest as the first responders who once called it home. Instead, what you get is a study in missed opportunities. Take the pizza - please. In a city that practically invented the art of turning basic ingredients into something transcendent, what arrives is a sad testament to lowered expectations. The crust has that unmistakable character of something that's seen the inside of a freezer, though someone's at least tried to jazz it up with some grill marks. The sauce tastes like it's trying to remember what tomatoes were like in a past life, and the cheese... well, calling it forgettable would require remembering it was there in the first place. The bathroom walls tell their own story - the kind of graffiti that speaks less to youthful rebellion and more to management's casual relationship with giving a shit. It's the little things that tell you everything in a restaurant, and unattended bathroom graffiti screams volumes about attention to detail. Yet somehow, like a random act of culinary kindness, they manage to nail the chicken parm sliders. Decent chunks of tender chicken, nestled in pillowy Hawaiian rolls, actually dressed with sauce and cheese that remember their purpose in life. It's like stumbling across a coherent paragraph in a book full of gibberish. The cookie skillet dessert arrives like a cruel joke - burnt to carbon on the outside while maintaining a center so raw it could probably evolve into sentient life if given enough time. It's the kind of dish that makes you wonder if the oven's temperature settings are more suggestion than rule. But here's the thing - the bartender actually did a great job. Quick with refills, genuine smile, the kind of service that makes you want to like the place more than the food allows. It's reasonably priced too, though that feels less like value and more like an apology. Providence has real culinary chops, Ladder 133 is what happens when potential jumps towards the pole and face-plants. Sure, come for a game, throw down a few beers, maybe grab those surprisingly decent sliders. But for the love of all things holy and Rhode Island, get your pizza somewhere else. This is the kind of place that reminds you why the phrase "sports bar food" often comes with built-in expectations of disappointment. At least the building's still cool.

We were going to the Comedy Connection and got there early. We stopped here which is next door…read more This visit we just went for drinks. Inside was nice with a large bar, high top tables and then some lounge chair seating. When I went to the bathroom, I discovered they had an outside patio with table and chairs. We ended up sitting out here and enjoyed it. The drinks were good but my favorite part was they have games to use while at the establishment. We chose the hook and ring toss game but they had cards and I think chess too. We did not have food on this visit but would come back to try it. It is a good place to go before or after going to the Comedy Connection.

First time here. A date night with my wife. I read the recent reviews. It was good enough for…read moremost of them - 4 on the average to commit coming here. There were a few 1s and 3s, and if you dig deep, they were not reliable reviews. Anyways, if you come here knowing that it is a bar and lounge with limited menu for food, but good selection of canned and draft beer, plus full bar, then you will be happy. We had the nachos with BBQ pulled bork, and lemon pepper dry rub wings. The rating for these are solid 4, not like the 3s some folks left. The only thing that prevents them from attaining 5 is the attention to details and care that it takes to make them true 5 stars. But again, this a a bar and lounge. I think it would not matter much if come here later in the evening, after you have been to dinner elsewhere, and want to hang out with your friends with late night snack and drinks. I thought the service was friendly but a bit relaxed, but again, if you come here to chill, being the "relaxed" atmosphere will not upset you. If you want a speedy and attentive service, this place is not it. We did enjoy the vibe though. Probably a good place to come before or after the show at Comedy Connection next door.

We had a Guinness and a Stella. My wife had the lamb sliders which she enjoyed (and took one home) and I had bangers with crispy fries and green beans. We also shared a rich chocolate torțe. The check came to $56. The place deserves 3 1/2 stars but we were in a generous mood and gave it four. Not fine dining (not expected) but a goodly pub. We will return again as it is our neighborhood regular place.

We have been meaning to try this place before going to the theater, which we finally did. As we…read morewere going to share appetizers we were seated in the bar area. The more formal dining area is in a separate space. The place has a conservative old fashioned vibe with dark paneling, well spaced seating with comfortable chairs (a plus indeed!) and although full allowed for easy conversation (another plus). Our server, Jodie, was cheerful, attentive and efficient. The piano player starts later which on this occasion suited us fine. We ordered drinks to start with: a Hakuna Mojito (in recognition of the Lion King where we were headed to next) for my wife and a glass of Pinot Noir from Elkton Oregon - all which suited both of us. We also had a large bottle of Pellegrino to wash it all down. A delicious Burrata, bacon wrapped scallops, well done crispy fries done just right, and a dish of Rabe and White Beans. The last is something that I would not have ordered but we decided to try it - I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by it. A dish worth having. I had to end up with a decent espresso. The check came to $122, paying with a credit card for the two of us, a little more than I expected but well worth it. We left our server a tip of some 24%. The meal and food might be worth five stars. We will see how it goes for subsequent visits. The restaurant is now on our radar and we will be back and also recommend it to friends.
