    Drinks were pretty good! We've been meaning to hit The Avery for a while now and finally made it happen. It was pretty much what I expected based on reviews: pretty good drinks in a classic cocktail style setting. I didn't think there was anything that stuck out or made it original. It took a little while for the bartender to make our drinks, but once ready, we decided to bring them over to the lower table area. Once we were finished and walking out, the bartender asked us to bring up all of our glasses and napkins to the bar. I thought bussing our own table was a little odd too. Overall, nothing to write home about but also not bad.

    This was my third time going to the Avery, and it consistently delivers delicious, fairly priced drinks. Service was quick at the bar given that there was only one bartender on a Tuesday night, and there was ample seating. The ambiance is great for grabbing an after-work drink with friends or coworkers, or going on a date. I would definitely recommend going for a drink there and then getting ramen at pickerel next door!

    The vibes here are lounge-y and cool. I love this dark bar and especially their St. Germain cocktail. This is a great neighborhood spot in the west side.

    Passed by on the way to grab hot pot with some friends when I noticed the building. We all went for drinks after dinner. It's such a cozy little spot and I got probably the best cocktail of my life. Definitely wont forget this place.

    Plenty of tasty drink options, comfortable seating, dark yet relaxing ambiance, Stylish interior, and friendly service. Great spot for couples.

    Bar interior...dark and cozy.

    Had a great Manhattan there. Enjoyed the drink outside listening to the fountain. Perfect spot for a drink!

    Cool Art Deco Bar. We stopped year one Tuesday evening and it was a very chill, if not some what, dark atmosphere. They have a great cocktail list and the space - amazing tin ceiling tiles and stunning laser cuts at the bar - is super cool. Great bar to relax for a date or small group gathering. TL,DR: Cozy (read: very small) bar Excellent Cocktails Cool atmosphere

    This is a speakeasy style bar in Federal Hill in Providence. It does not have a splashy entrance and it is embedded in a residential neighborhood, so it is a bit unexpected. The decor within is dark but with well detailed woodwork and ceiling work. Cocktails were excellent and the atmosphere relaxed. We were only there for a drink, but we did have a nice time and we will likely come again if we're in the neighborhood.

    Is this a cigar friendly lounge?

    Sorry for my previous answer (wrong cigar friendly bar was in my mind). But no, not that I am aware of. There were people smoking outside but not inside from what I could remember.

I was lucky to have tried North when it was open so when I saw the former chefs were preparing the meal for Chef Night, I knew I had to sign up and was so glad I did. The meal was stupendous! The first course was shrimp and corn fritters. The fritters were filled with shrimp and corn and you can visually see the shrimp and corn. It wasn't overly doughy and the sauce was delicious! Chef Andrew described the dish and he told us that the shrimp was locally sourced from Dune Brothers. The second course was noodles with tomato and pepper dashi and grilled fish. The noodles were fresh, but it started to get a little clumpy. The dashi was really flavorful. The third course was miso tres leches cake with sakura whipped cream. This course I was the most excited about and it totally blew my expectations. Chef Andrew told us that they hand picked sakura petals and made their own whipped cream. The tres leches cake was moist, dense, and airy. The dessert was definitely the star of the show. Bravo to chefs Andrew McQuesten and Stephen Sternkopf for a wonderful locally sourced meal. Jean-Marc and the other bartender were also very friendly and accommodating. They checked on all the customers throughout the night and made yummy drinks. I had the Toasted Venture. This is one of the signature cocktails and has Toasted Pumpkin Seed-Infused Misguided Spirits Red Sky Silver Rum/Cynar/St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur/Rosemary Elixir/Mole Bitters. It was very good. A time at Clementine's is always wonderful.

Our server was attentive and gave us great suggestions. I tried four cocktails some from their new menu and some of their past drinks, they were all great. My favorite was the Passion Fruit Martini and the Strawberry , the Sumac Paloma was great. The most unique drink was the Saffron & Black Lime Daiquiri, a little savority. My least favorite but it was interesting to try.

Walking in here after that movie felt like walking right back into the Star Wars universe. The music, the lighting, the layout, the vibes, everything is perfection. The service is pleasant & attentive. The drinks can sometimes be a hit, sometimes a miss. They're always expensive, though. That's one reliable factor. Most recently, I tried the "oyster shell martini" that featured gin, dry vermouth, riesling, oyster acid, & lemon oils. I loooove a savory, weird drink. I saw it & knew I needed to try it. Unfortunately, it was seriously imbalanced. It was wine heavy, with an extremely poisonous aftertaste that lingered forever & ever & ever. I would never order this again. I'm sure I'll be back in the future. Again, the ambience is unbeatable. It's a great place to take a date or a group of Star Wars lovers.

A lovely woman in the restroom overheard my friend and I unsure on where to venture, and she suggested this place! Moody and welcoming. Absolutely loved it. We went in ~10:45 on a Wednesday pm. Apparently they do live jazz weekly as well, but we'd come too late. A handful of bar patrons, a couple making out in the back of the dining room at their cute table, a lovely bartender, me& my bff. We really hit the jackpot for ambiance last night. Decor in there is so cute. I wish I took a picture of the table lamp on the bar. It was embellished with beads hanging on the rim of the shade. Our drinks were top notch. Mine was a citrus vanilla profile and hers was a savory martini. The sandwich, I had one bite of it was yummy. I don't like imitation lunch meats though. CATFISH was breaded and fried fabulously. Not oily. Crispy and crunchy. So happy to have discovered this place! The bartender told us they just celebrated 6 years of business!
