Solid pub style bar on federal hill. Strong and decently priced drinks. Food is pretty standard fare for a pub but pretty well executed and the Reuben and the black n blue burgers are top notch. Beware though, it is first and foremost a cigar bar so you can smoke indoors. And despite it being pretty well ventilated you will definitely smell like smoke after, so if this bothers you I'd consider somewhere else. But if you enjoy a smoke with your drink I'd definitely stop in. read more

Walked in for a sandwich and it was open on time. Bar was ready to go. Had our drinks in less than 5 minutes. Friendly staff. Michelle the bartender was great. They make great drinks. I ordered a chicken sandwich with house chips. Awesome! You can smoke in here too. It's a pub. The ambience is a nice relaxing and friendly locals. Definitely be back. read more

Tammany Hall Pub and Parlor - Great selection of fresh beers, whiskey, scotch and wines. - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

THE signature pub in Providence. Located in historic Federal Hill, it blends local clientele with folks passing thru town. Also, an underrated cigar selection highlights the bar. Beer is ICE cold and affordable, full liquor selection and a terrific menu. Staff is amazingly friendly. You do NOT have to wait for your next drink. Parking lot across the street helps too. And they do cigar dinners once a month, and are a GREAT deal. Tammany is worthy of a six star rating. read more

This place is a whole vibe on its own. We sat outside on the street seating and had some of the best conversation we've ever had with the employees and patrons. They even made fresh cookies for our son. We will stop by this bar every time we pass through for as long as we can manage. Great spot. Check it out you won't regret it. read more

Service was good. Staff friendly. Good drink and cigar selection for a little hidden gem in Providence. Would return again!

Friendly place mostly for locals. It's a cigar bar so expect smoke even with their good ventilation system. Great selection of cigars. They serve some food yet I have never eaten there. I highly recommend this cigar bar. read more

If you don't mind inhaling large amounts of second-hand smoke, this place is a cute, laid back pub with fairly good bar food (the macaroni and cheese definitely hit the spot). In going here, I had no idea up front that it was in fact a cigar bar, and unfortunately when we got there, I regrettably found my eyes watering, and looked forward to finishing my meal so I could leave. After spending maybe an hour or less here, my clothes stank so badly of smoke that my entire room smelled like smoke when I got home and I had to use a crazy amount of Febreeze and air fresheners to attempt to cover up the odor so I could sleep. I'm sure this place is lots of fun for anyone who is a smoker or is more smoke friendly than I am, but I really would prefer a non-smoking bar. Just personal preference... be aware before you go! :) read more

Tammany Hall Pub and Parlor - Macaroni and Cheese - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

As a smoker, I fully appreciate the ability to drink and smoke at the same time, without needing to head outside for a little congregation. If you don't smoke, I wouldn't come here unless you want to leave a little stinky and with a little lung cancer. When I came here, it was the last stop of a Pubcrawl, so my memory is a little hazy but from what I can remember about the food and drinks is that the hotdog plate I got came loaded with good food, and the drinks were good and stiff. As for the people in the bar.... not a hipster scene. We had a couple drunken housewives curating "happy birthday" about nineteen times during our stop in and the rest of the people inside were on the same wavelength. Didn't bother me though, I'll take happy sloppy 40-something year olds over pretentious hipster Brown kids anyday. Overall it's a comfortable place with a pretty big bar menu and a surprisingly good amount of seating. And you can smoke inside. Did I say you can smoke inside? read more

I've always had a good time here. I went last Friday for a cigar and glass of scotch. Our server brought out a bunch of different cigar options and was helpful with the selection. It's typically my end the night spot but I'm pretty sure it's fun all the time. One night my fiancé and I went earlier in the night and we sat out on the sidewalk and the crowd was great. We don't smoke often, and one guy gave us some pointers on getting the cigars lit in the wind. We also had a great time chatting with another couple sitting near by. They even ended up buying us a drink. read more

First - you should know this is one of the only Bars around the allows smoking - if you are a non-smoker just know that you will smell like smoke. Nice place to grab a few beers and watch a game. I recently ordered a fried chicken sandwich there too - huge tasty sandwich - did not disappoint. read more

This place is really good!!! Kerri made me the best Bloody Mary I ever had plus I can smoke in here and don't have to go outside! read more

Tammany Hall Pub and Parlor - a drink with a straw - New American Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Know this: Tammany Hall is a smoking bar... so everyone in here smokes. If you can't stand smoke, get the hell outta here (which is precisely what I did on one of the two occasions I patronized this establishment). Full disclosure, I was recuperating from pneumonia, so perhaps this wasn't the best choice for my first outing post-illness. That aside, the staff is so lovely, and they have not only an impressive drinks list (heavy on scotch), but an impressive food menu and a great humidor, as well. However, the best thing about this place is the vibe and ambience - it's just a fun place to be. Not too loud, not at all snooty, and not at all touristy which is rare in this neighborhood. If you ask me, this is the perfect place for a night cap once you're past the point of smoke bothering you. Not into whiskey? Have a glass to champagne! The booth and tables are cozy, and I can see parking yourself here all night... Just plan on a long shower afterwards! read more

Cheesy fake Irish bar with good music. No idea about the food - but drinks were fine. Down the street from my friends apt or else would never have gone. read more

Im honestly baffled that there aren't more negative reviews addressing this issue. I'll start by saying I dig the open and casual environment, and being allowed to smoke is a plus. The drinks were good, nothing special. One of the two girls on that night was great. She was super friendly and knowledgeable, helped me choose a fantastic cigar, and made us feel really comfortable in a place where I was worried it'd be all bar fly's. Her service is the only reason why I gave two stars instead of one. The other girl on that Saturday night was hands down one of the rudest and disrespectful people I've met in the service industry. Firstly, she was hardly presentable. Her hair looked unwashed and she was dressed more like she was going to bed than to work at a pub. As 2:00am approached, the place was still pretty full. There were multiple tables seated and a handful of people hanging out by the bar and around the high top island. My friends and I were still enjoying our drinks and cigars. But this girl immediately raised her voice telling everyone to get out because they were closing. I was baffled. Even with working in the food industry for over 5 years, I've never seen anything like that before. We had just asked for it but hadn't even been brought our bill yet, and since we were still actively drinking and smoking we didn't pay her much mind. A few minutes later (we were still drinking and smoking), she once again parades around literally screaming at people to leave, as the clock had just struck 2:00 and they were wrapping up. It was so insane to watch I couldn't help but to laugh. Maybe about 5 minutes later, not even, she approached my friends and I and *literally screamed in my face* that they had been closed for 15 minutes (even though it was only 2:05?) and that we need to leave immediately if we ever wanted to be allowed back in that establishment again. That was the last straw. We left, and hung around outside chatting about how astonishingly rude this girl was. It was ridiculous. I've never seen something like it. I don't understand how ownership allows their employees to be so blatantly disrespectful to their customers. A few minutes later, around 2:15, the same girl came OUTSIDE to harass us yet again and threatened to call the police if we didn't go stand elsewhere. I would understand if we were inebriated, or if we were being loud, rowdy, rude, or making a scene, but we were literally just chatting and having a few laughs. None of us could figure out what her problem was. At the end of the day, jokes on them. Clearly there's a lack of communication between servers because we were never brought the bill (incl. cigars, mixed drinks, and multiple beers) that we had asked for before we were so unprofessionally kicked out. So clearly going home was more important to that girl than making sure her customers pay their tabs. Needles to say, I will never, EVER be returning. And management should really do something about their belligerent staff. read more

Tammany Hall is a great little cigar lounge and pub far down on Atwells Ave. It is relatively dark inside, with bar stools, two center islands, a couch seating area, some small tables, and some booths. The prices are exactly what you would expect to pay at a normal bar, but you can smoke inside! The food is delicious (try the burgers or the nachos) and the beer selection is decent. They always have Guinness and Smithwicks on tap, and usually have Wachusett Blueberry (have them make a "black and blue"), in addition to something domestic and plenty of bottled varieties ( Sam's, Boddington, etc.). Sure, there are plenty of restaurants and classy bars on Atwells but Tammany is small and more personal, with a friendly staff. read more

Pros: -one waitress was outstanding and fixed a big issue with no fuss. Cons: -Second waitress was terrible and rather rude. **poured Macallan 12 over ice and was pissy when we sent it back. -weak cigar selection -Cigars were very dry (improper conditions) read more

I came here on Saturday for a beer and a cigar with some girl friends. I really enjoyed the service, the noise level, and ambiance. I would like to come here and try the food on another day! :: Buddy Cianci sighting :: (love) read more

If you like the occasional cigar with a nice scotch or six, swing by here. It has a friendly neighborhood hangout feel--for a place on the Hill--lots of TVs and a surprisingly good ventilation system. The attentive, efficient staff are super nice. What might amaze you about this little place is their pub grub. It's good. I've eaten here with friends several times and we're always pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. On my most recent visit I had an excellent Bacon BBQ Burger, slathered in sauce and served with a good helping of pub fries. For $10. Their humidor is passable; they've been closed for repairs/renovations so their offerings were a little light on our last visit, but for the casual patron they have plenty to choose from. Or bring your own sticks. Not too loud and generally not crowded on week nights. A favorite Buddy hangout and a comfortable place to spend a couple of hours. read more

Have spent many a Friday afternoon at Tammany. A great cigar bar that allows you to being your own cigars, with no charge to smoke them. Have never eaten any food, but the drinks are good! read more

Great service, great drinks! Only Irish establishment on the atwells strip! I'm not a smoker but came here early so the wafts of death didn't affect me. Yes Buddy comes here all the time as others pointed out, and yes you can smoke inside. (Ironic that he hangs out at a place name after a corrupt NY govenor's political organization haha) But hey it's atwells! Everyones part of the 'Family'! I checked out their humidor, pretty great deal for smokers, you buy an area and then you can keep your cigars in it. Was at capacity when I was there though! Met Heather our waitress, very fast paced, and seems to know all there is to the area and the staff that runs the different establishments. If I was in the Mob this is who i'd talk to for the whos who of atwells. Will be back to try the reasonable priced food, and will update all my avid readers. (aka myself) read more

Great staff. Bartenders made my night, pointed me to some good spots (including Harry's which changed my life for ever via a vis hamburgers). You can smoke here, if that's important to you. Good booze selection, also serve food, which I didn't try this time. Made a perfect Manhattan. But mostly the bartenders are great. After the one dude at the bar (I'm sorry - "bah") with a legit RI accent departed, I was left sitting with two d-bags from the Jersey Shore. Fortunately the bartenders are delightful and on top of serving delicious cocktails pointed me toward some other Providence highlights. This place is a winner in my book. read more

The main reason to go to Tammany is to smoke cigars. The food is good, the drinks okay, but if you're not a smoker you're going to be complaining about the clouds of smoke the entire time. Tammany is a nice change of pace from the normal two choices one has in Greater Providence: Hipster Bar or Family Restaurant. The population is generally older professionals - guys in their 40s and 50s without a black hoodie or skinny jean anywhere in sight. The walk-in humidor is well stocked, with most cigars running around $7-10. Cigarette smoking is also allowed. The food is good, although pricey for the amount you tend to get. I'm a little disappointed they don't have Narragansett on tap, but they carry beers that Americans like to drink to feel Irish (Guiness, Harp, etc). The service is absolutely awful. It's like pulling teeth to get a waitress to take your drink order, and god forbid you want to order a drink and food at the same time. The place tends to get crowded even on weeknights, and a big part of the problem seems to be that they are understaffed. A full-time bartender would allow the waitresses to concentrate on table service. Instead, waitresses are doing double-duty which makes everything take forever. The service is bad enough that my guess is once its warm enough to smoke outside and people have other options, you'll see the place clear out quite a bit. Still, in the winter if you're looking to have a cigar and you don't want to stink up your living room, Tammany's your best bet. read more

If you are looking for a chill place to enjoy a cigar or a cigarette indoors with a great selection of alcohol, you need to check this place out. I have been several times and I think what I like most is how relaxed the environment is. Most cigar bars have the leather chairs and fancy tables, this place is a legit bar with some pub seating and booths. Don't be afraid of the parking as they have a lot across the street and the side street is never full. They do serve food but I have never tried. So if you want a fun, relaxed place to smoke and have a drink this is great! You can bring your own cigars too, no need to purchase but they do have a nice selection on site. read more

This is the perfect place to go if you want to get lung cancer and watch a game.

Tiny, cramped and always crowded. Smoking is allowed in doors so I recomend being a smoker, or else keep walking by this place. It fills with smoke very quickly and your clothes will reek the entire night. Not a place you'd want to go on a date, not a place you'd wanna go to eat (who can eat with smoke billowing above the plate?) good for maybe a quick drink, a few smokes and to catch the score of whatever game is playing. Maybe there's more to it. but I personally seen nothing that would bring me back. read more

Tammany is pretty fun. I'm not a smoker, but if I were I'm sure I'd give it 5 stars. It is a cool vibe-- dark and smokie with lots of 80's music. There is always a random crowd and it gets quite packed. The food is actually pretty good and the staff is always very friendly. Decent draftprices (5$ for Guinness/Smithwicks and BlueMoon). They also have a Guinness float-- what could be better.. read more

This is one of my favorite places of all time. At Tammany Hall you can smoke, drink, and eat all at the same time. I appreciate that as a cigar smoker myself. I come in mostly for lunches and for business meetings. The staff is friendly and remembers your name and often your drink. The food is fantastic pub food with healthy portions. It is a very busy place. If you don't like the smoking atmosphere...I would recommend somewhere else. The patrons of Tammany appreciate that this establishment can exist and bask in it. Classy, clean, and masculine. Tv's are strategically placed and you can bring your own smokes or buy them there. The selection is limited. Many afternoons have been enjoyed there and there will be many more to follow. read more

Finally a place where an adult can enjoy a cigar and a beverage. I have only been there once but I will be back again. Not sure how they do it, but thank God they allow you to smoke inside and enjoy a drink. If you are a non smoking whiner then just stay out, we do not want you in here anyway. read more

Ladies that work here are on point! Very nice.. I was dragged here but my co-worker, after work.. and I Do Not Smoke! The nice staff and dark at atmosphere keeps me coming back .! read more

Great local cigar bar. Nice humidor selection or bring your own. The bacon blue cheese burger is great!!

A good place to enjoy a cigar with friends. Beer selection us pretty good and the wait staff keeps them coming. I like that the tabs are still on the honor system and you do not need to give them a cc to keep a tab open. This is a good place to spend a couple of hours in Federal Hill. read more
