    Delicious!! I've been wanting to try The East End for a while now - I'm so glad I was finally able to go! The cocktail list alone was super impressive. Such a wide variety and the drinks were delicious! The food was also great. The cheese board was much larger than I thought it would be. The fritters were also delicious - perfectly crispy. We also had the French onion burger which was rich and decadent. The Cubano was also a perfectly balanced bite. The service was also great. Always attentive. Nothing felt slow or rushed. Always made sure water and drinks were full. It's a little dark inside and was a little loud the night we were there, but nothing out of the ordinary. We will be back soon!

    This was my second time here and this spot is just so moody and cute! Food is always good, cocktails are always strong and beautiful! Service both at the bar and table side is excellent. Parking isn't as bad as you would think either. Great spot for a date night, catching up with a friend or even a fundraiser!

    Had not been here for almost a decade and I'm so ao glad I returned. Everything was amazing!!!! Wish I took more photos. We got so much! Oysters, risotto, falafel fries( yes you read that) the RI calamari ( wish I ordered 5), the steak( perfect) and the chicken sandwich.... and for the desert the Blondie( please save room for this treat) it's been two weeks since my visit and I'm still day dreaming about this desert. The service was phenomenal, the owner came and chatted with us, shared some family memories and expressed how proud she was of each and everyone one of her chefs( great boss) we were loud, so was evergone else, but we sat outside, i ha dmy toddler with me.. the inside is soooo sexy, dim lighting and intimate..I will def be coming back to this location. Do call and make reservations

    '69 el Camino

    Popped into this place on a work trip tucked away on a corner in what appears to be a cute college neighborhood just off of DT Providence. It gives off speakeasy vibes, loved the dark lighting and mood inside. I popped in for HH oysters, and ordered a few speciality cocktails. '69 el Camino was fabulous and perhaps one of the best craft cocktails I've ever had. Also tried the apple sazerac, it was strong, spirit heavy, and fine just probably not my style. Prices range from $12-$16, pretty standard for a solid craft cocktail. I tried some HH oysters and they were really good. After staring at the menu too long, I had to try the salt/vinegar wings and was highly impressed. I love wings, normally I'm a total sauce guru, and stay away from dry rubs, but this was exceptional. Was complimented with a chive sour cream sauce, but I didn't need it. Simply loved the flavor of the wings. Bartender/service was great, sounds like they also have a nice burger deal during the HH, I'd love to come back and try more cocktails as they had a pretty extensive menu and unique food offerings.

    Cool spot and great vibes. Love coming here with friends or family. Great veg options and phenomenal cocktails. The servers always give great recommendations too.

    The service was great. The drinks were great and the food was tasty. The burger was delicious. The fries were really tasty. They could have done with a bit more crisp but the flavor was really good. They had drink and meal specials. The music is loud and it's a bit dark, but it's a perfect spot for a small friends gathering. I would avoid a bigger group because it's hard to hear, but they can accommodate with reservations.

    I like coming here for a drink and lowkey "catch-up" moment with a friend. Service is always great. It's dark, swanky, and vibey. Worth checking out for any occasion. And I enjoy the oyster shooter!

    Slow clap... The East End is much more than meets the eye from the street. Everything I put in my mouth had me whispering sweet nothings while my buddy was just trying to get a bite to eat. Seriously though, everything about the food was top notch. I got to try the Bone Marrow, the Aji Chicken Sandwich, and the Duck toast. Tldr: Delicious flavor packed food, extremely high quality food and drinks. Good service, kind wait staff, deliver on all the essentials. Food very, very slow to arrive during busy time. Order Duck Toast. Our server was kind enough to honestly answer all of our questions. I was between the Seared Duck entrée or the combo of Bone Marrow appetizer and Aji Chicken Sandwich. Why was I between those two options? Because the seared Duck was $32, that's why. The Bone Marrow was $16 and same with the sandwich. So, not exactly a cheap night out. The Aji Chicken Sandwich was delicious. The polenta crust was super crisp and the Aji aioli was nice and creamy but the pickled carrots and cauliflower stepped right in to take the richness. Honestly, even the bread was fantastic, fluffy sweet hawiaan bread, wonderfully crisped was perfect to make little bits of each thing on the plate. And to that point, the ratio of everything in this dish was perfect. Worth the $16 for sure, a lot of care put into this dish. The bone marrow: while I enjoyed every single thing about this dish, I hardly had any marrow. The bits I did have were amazing. The mustard and the lime fennel was to die for. I kid you not, I took a bite of all of these slapped onto the toasted bread they give you and I threw my head back harder than someone that just got rear-ended at a red light. But dangit, I wish that cow had more marrow. Felt a little salty for the $16 price tag on this one. Now, I didn't order the duck toast, that was my friend. Our server did mention "the Duck toast will never leave the menu, there would be uproar.." - paraphrasing.. Holy crap. She was right. Whatever was on there was pure magic. It was rich and creamy, amazing depth of flavor and again, from the first bite to the last absolutely delicious. Now, one thing I'm going to overlook purely because I loved the food so much I was still taking about it this morning, is the amount of time it took to get the food! We sat down a little before 6:30pm and didn't get out food until after 7:20pm. Don't come here in a rush. They must have been chasing the chicken down and driving to the farm to get the marrow bone.. Food was so slow to come out. Our server was around enough and kept us with water, but damn, least they could do is give you some bread if food is going to take almost an hour. Normally, I'd knock a star off for something like this but this place is definitely not the type of place to get a quick bite (which I thought it was going in), it's a "enjoy the dark cool ambiance, sit at the fancy bar, and get a $14-$16 drink, while exploring the hundred single malt scotch and bourbons on our menu" type place. Will absolutely be back. Now that I know what to expect, I'll likely be planning a date night as this is a great spot for that.

    A love letter to "From My Head Down Tomatoes" - a mixology masterpiece by Kieley (sp?) Vodka, basil liqueur, cherry tomato, dry vermouth, lemon, olive oil, black pepper, salt. It's like all of my favorite things in one drink & it makes me feel like she invented this drink just for me. But she didn't - She invented it for herself. Which brings my to my overall point here, which is that The East End continues to benefit from allowing their bartenders the freedom & time to get weird with drinks. I am always so excited to see new, unique cocktails on the menu & appreciate the staff & management for getting weird with it. Can't wait to see what else y'all come up with.

    Great bar, and cocktails. Ambience is really nice, Sam (bartender B) is great! We came in for a good glass of wine and they met the mark! After looking through the menu, we will be back. It looks great!

    I've been here now for both drinks and dinner on separate occasions. The 1/2 price burger (or bogo, I can't remember) is such a great deal for a casual date night! Went here for drinks on Friday. Bar was lively, service was great! I got an aviation cocktail and it was well balanced. If you like whiskey/bourbon/scotch, this is the place for you. I haven't seen any place in providence with the selection here!

    Poutine
    Kevin B.

    Came to The East End after a concert and boy am I glad that we did! Place looks unassuming from the outside but it's an absolute gem. Walked in, very dimly lit and soothing and sat at one of their comfortable high top booths near the bar. Greeted by the server and given the late night menus. We started out sharing some poutine. Topped with mushroom gravy and cheese curds it was perfect, good size portion as well. We then moved onto burgers which could not be priced any better. I got the basic East End which had secret sauce, dill pickles and American cheese while my wife got the matador which had some kind of kick to it. The matador has guava BBQ sauce, bacon and crispy onion strings. The burger was cooked perfectly and is the best late night burger I've ever had. I couldn't love this place anymore, great food and amazing vibes, can't wait to return!

    We walked in looking for an appetizer and I was SO HAPPY they had charcuterie. And it was good charcuterie too. We're also bourbon drinkers and they have a fantastic selection. The space is beautiful and very clean, service was great. If we lived in the area we would definitely be back for dinner sometime.

We got a Prosciutto & Salpicao board, the Queijo de Cabra, and Frijol Dip. I also got a nice portuguese red wine that paired well with some of the cheese we received.

At their front patio, they had the World Cup game playing, but the back patio felt cozier so we opted for that. The inside though was a strong second since the lighting is very low, creating a cool and calm environment. Walking through the restaurant to get to our table made me realize that each table is unique, no two are decorated the same or have the same furniture. It was a hot day but the overhead mesh cover blocked out a lot of the sun. Our waitress made us feel very welcome from the start and told us about their drink and food specials. My friend ordered Guatemalan beer as well as a Spanish beer. For food, we ordered the plantain fries, octopus, calamari, and shrimp salad, and grilled lamp chops. The seafood salad came out first. According to the menu, it was going to be paired with cornbread. It looked like sourdough bread but had a far denser consistency. I was expecting the salad to have lots of shrimp to act as a filler but surprisingly, it was about 60% octopus, 25% calamari, 10% shrimp, and 5% onions. The seafood was very flavorful, tasted fresh, and cooked perfectly. The portion size was great for two. Next came the plantain fries, which I was least impressed with as it was essentially fried plantain chunks. I think it would have been better if they were cut into smaller pieces that can be easily dipped and consumed in one bite. The plantain was gently ripe, so just a little sweet and the dipping sauce was like a less sour sour cream. Lastly, the lamp chops came out and the presentation was wonderful. They were a bit skinnier and less tender than that I was expecting, but flavor wise they were good. We enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service here.

No post on their website saying they were closed for a private event. No post on their Instagram. Feels like whatever system they were trying to implement to enforce a private party totally broke down. The employees were very nice about it at the very least. We got two drinks: the Isuzu and the grape cobbler. The grape cobbler was okay - sweet but not much else going on. The Isuzu was SO bitter and I didn't like it. The description on the menu didn't match the drink at all. I wanted to like it here, and I've heard great things. However, it was such a bad experience and we didn't like the drinks, so I'm not sure we will be back.

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.

Furthermore, several tables were seated around us, placed their drink orders, and had their drinks before our appetizers reached our table (both inside tables as well as those on the patio). I'm hoping the service issue was a lack of training, as it was not an incredibly busy day (surprising given pride was happening ‍). It was also mid afternoon so unaffected by any kind of rush. All in all I would try this place again, but maybe sit at the bar (which is a shame, the outdoor seating is beautiful!)/
