Every time I come to providence for work, a visit to eddy is a must. By far the best mixologist in town. Make sure you try the sliders. read more

The Eddy - Walrus and carpenter oysters. Amazing! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Traveling in Providence for the first time. Did not want a heavy meal so hit this place up based upon the deviled eggs reviews. All I can say is Wow. These eggs stink. They are grey in color and lack any taste maybe the other reviewers are drunk when they eat these but I got better eggs at the corner store yesterday. Next tried the mozzarella and pepper sandwich. It was burned on the bottom but not bad. Still bland tasting. The decor was nice and the plane art was cool but I am sure it gets old after a while. Decided to try a mixed drink since that is this places claim to fame. Tried the Orange Julius drink hoping for redemption.... Not bad. About average for a mixology place. read more

Very cool little bar in DownCity. They have great cocktails, and the bartenders are very good at what they do. It's fun to sit up at the bar and watch them do their thing. Who knew so much could go into making a cocktail! Awesome spot, will definitely be back there. read more

I've been twice on weekdays. Good service, very knowledgeable bar staff. The bar is small but mighty. Recommend to anyone in Providence or passing though. They even made my Ramos Gin Fizz last night which is a time intensive drink to make. read more

Very cute little cocktail bar. The first attempt at going here we were told it was at capacity so we went to another bar. Came back later in the night and we were able to get in. Just be prepared if it's busy they only let so many in and it is small. Once we were in there we enjoyed a couple cocktails. Our favorite was the Apple double Dutch. Saw some small plates come out for other tables. We had already ate but want to come back and sample those as well. Overall a good before or after dinner spot. read more

First time wasn't that amazed and felt overpriced. I got the champ elysee, and my friend some salad. But the second time I went here, I got a spicy drink and my bf the orange drink AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. I normally don't like cocktails but it was so good! We went around 8pm on a Tuesday night and lots of open seats. The bar was quiet enough to talk!! With lots of cute friend groups and couples having quiet and respectful conversation. Our waiter was so so attentive and asked me if the drink was spicy enough and went out of his way to get another drink made when it wasn't. We had the goat cheese plate which was so delicious we had to order another one. We got the cheddar, which was not very good. We were celebrating our 1.5 year anniversary and couldn't have asked for better! Next time I will try the deviled eggs and get the same spicy drink and ask for extra spicy. read more

The Eddy - drink menu nov 2016 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Love the atmosphere here... And the drinks... Will be back very soon!

Best bar in RI. Every drink we've ever had at The Eddy has been outstanding and the menu continues to be unique and innovative. Pre-COVID times, you could sit at the bar and their knowledgeable bartenders would share their knowledge and expertise with you and, if you're lucky, handcraft a drink to your taste. Even through COVID, The Eddy provided consistently great drinks and served their customers with great service. We'll be patiently waiting for them to come back in 2021! And ALWAYS try house punch read more

Best cocktails! A must stop. Also their deviled eggs are so delicious. We got the old fashioned on tap. Super strong but fun way to start the night. read more

The Eddy - Farm Fresh Deviled Eggs - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This is the bar where I went on my first date with my fiancee. A great place for unique drinks (menu changes seasonally) and it's a great place for friends. Pros: - Great drinks - Great prices - Nice atmosphere Cons: - Very small place. I've often had to stand and drink. This place is popular so it fills up quick during peak times. - Food is a bit pricey for what you get, but the food is still very good. read more

I have heard that this is the best bar in Providence and last night I got to experience what the best taste like. Their drinks were delicious. My friend got the house punch and said it was very tasty. I got the copa banana and it was the best drink I had all night (Did I mention we were on a bar crawl that night).... We also got snacks, my friends got the pretzel with maple butter and said was good. I got the oysters with a red wine mignonette. That wine sauce was amazing on the oysters. We had a bit of a mix up because they thought I ordered the whole dozen instead of half which was accommodated for in a very professional way. I will be coming back here for more drinks. read more

See all

My friends and I heard the drinks at The Eddy were great, so we decided to check it out. None of us were disappointed with the quality of the drinks--everything tasted amazing and different than anything we've tried before. However, I'm only giving this place 3 stars because of the RUDE bartender. The bar is very small and busy but we decided to stay because we were eager to try the drinks. There were 5 of us altogether and only 3 open bar seats but a table for 2 was open right next to the bar, so we split up but remained closed together. None of us minded but the bartender made it obvious that she was bothered by this. She asked if we could all move to the back to a "standing area" because all parties HAD to stay together. We asked if we could just remain seated until a bigger table opened up but she got argumentative and said, "well, it's just awkward for other customers if they try to come in and sit," to which I responded "we are all buying drinks" because it became immediately obvious that she only cared for open seats to attract more customers (even though we were all paying customers)... She kept trying to argue with us and justify us moving but finally shut up when she realized we weren't going to budge. What she should've done was try to make us all feel as comfortable as possible as customers. So I would recommend this place if you're into cool cocktails and don't mind spending the money (~$12 per drink). But don't expect great service. read more

Was waiting for a bus back to my dorm and I was like well It is the start of the weekend I might as well grab another beer before going back. So this is my first time here and I decided to check it out because it was right there and why not. I love checking out the bars at providence and this seemed like a cool little bar and fortunately it wasn't too busy tonight so that's a plus. But they have a great draft menu and a lot of beer to choose from so I think il be coming back here sometime for another tasty beer read more

The Eddy - My tasty mailbock lager that I got on draft - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Cool drinks and a nice atmosphere. This place is pretty small, but it makes for a very nice intimate night out with the hubby and/or a double date. We've only had drinks here. read more

Really low key, relaxing, and warm atmosphere with the same quality and refinement in the cocktails at The Dorrance but with a better price tag and a less pretentious air. I really liked this place and will definitely be back! The bartender and owner is welcoming and keeps The Eddy open 7 days a week! All the more reason to not question where to go on your next night out! You know you can get a good drink here and that they're open! read more

One of my favorite cocktail spots in Providence. Not built for volume, it has a good upscale, but approachable atmosphere. Smaller quarters and good for dates. Staff are always knowledgeable and friendly. Try their seasonal punches. read more

I checked this place out while on my business trip and I have to admit, the drinks were well made and strong. The vibe was definitely chill and the bartender was super nice in helping choose the right drink for my current mood. If your with friends or flying solo, like me, you won't be disappointed. I'm glad to have found this place and I'm sure to be back one day if I'm ever in town again. Thanks for the great drinks and pretzel! read more

The Eddy - Tasty ang strong drinks - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Love my friends at the Eddy. This has become an amazing spot that I can never get to enough. The barristas are amazing, it is small and intimate, and the mixology behind their drinks is phenomenal. They change out their drinks which is wonderful as well and there's always something new to try. read more

Phenomenal cocktails. I had a Woodford Old Fashioned and it was exceptional. Great friendly services and skilled bartenders. Will definitely be back. read more

I had the Brooklyn Cocktail on Tap and the Cuban sliders (both were top notch.) The only reason I deducted a star was because of the music choice, which kind of put me in a weird mood from the beginning. When I first came in there was some pretty obscene rap playing with gratuitous use of "the N word." I was the only black person there and it didn't seem like the other patrons would have listened to that type of music by choice (nor would I.) I think the bartender caught a glance of my resting bitch face while I waited for the drink. After that, the music went from "Honest," by Future to "Where is My mind," by the Pixies (I had to grin just a little.) Look up the lyrics to the first song and ask yourself if you'd expect to hear that in such a stylish downtown bar. I know white people and cultural appropriation is real, but certain things can just be too uncomfortable in the wrong setting. I'm not really sure if the music change had anything to do with me but I wonder how long it would have gone on. I do appreciate them changing it without me having to be play the angry black man and ask them to change it though. That type of thing is never fun. Aside from that, the space is small but very sleek and nicely designed. It seems like a clutch date destination (put that in your playbook, guys.) The drink was delicious and was bigger than I thought it would be (which is FINE!) Despite the somewhat awkward introduction to the place, I'd go back. read more

Great find for delish cocktails and really wonderful meat and cheese. Left here after trying those for Oberlin, which was so disappointing. Should have tried more of the options at The Eddy instead of venturing out for a second course. Lesson learned. read more

Couldn't hear anything the people I went with were saying because this place is sick loud with everyone screaming over music. Drinks nothing exceptional. Prosciutto was pretty good pretty cheap. Medium cool for Providence I guess. read more

This is the worst service I've ever had. We came in at 11:30pm with a group of 9 ladies and wanted to get a drink at the bar. The bartender, Natalie, rudely informed me that she did not want me sitting at the bar---even though there were 9 open seats perfect for us. The lack of customer service and decency just makes me vomit. I cannot believe that someone would would treat NINE individuals that are willing to tip you and give you money in such a way. Never coming back at all. read more

The Eddy is always a great location to walk to after a dinner in downtown Providence. However, it's always crowded so early and fits very few people. There have been occasions where they reach capacity and one or two of my friends get left behind outside, waiting with the bouncer. It's the worst to be denied entrance when it's only 30 degrees out. The drinks are pretty good, but maybe too crowded and loud for a first date read more

Best drinks in in town! Never disappointed. I love that they change that drink menu regularly. You're never bored. My only criticism was that they had minimum food options, and of course that was fixed. Now they have good meats and cheese. In particular I found their pimento cheese to be very delicious and I kept going back for that. Don't miss out if you're in the neighborhood read more

We stopped in to see if Providence had any authentic cocktail bars. The Eddy delivered. Ordered from their specials and a negroni. All drinks were superb. Bartenders were servers, and were exceptional. If you enjoy the really authentic cocktails, don't miss the Eddy. read more

The food is amazing, sliders highly recommended, small yet so flavorful. The cheese platter.....bruh fire. Now the drinks hit the spot. If you want the best drinks in the city best cocktails!!! Yiu DEFINITELY need to come here. I found my favorite cocktail bar hands down!!! read more

My friend and I stumbled across this bar one night and we're pleasantly surprised. We walked in and the vibe was welcoming and relaxing. The bar is small and there are a few tables but the bartenders are very attentive. They assisted us quickly and made drink suggestions. The cocktails were amazing! I had the punch, which is one of their specials that they frequently change what's in it. Did not try any of the food there but people were ordering often. The bar had a bunch of regulars and you can tell it was a very friendly place. Very reasonably priced, this bar was a great find in Providence! read more

Went to this place after dinner nearby. The bartenders were super friendly. Drink list was inventive, but I could tell that if you told the bartenders what you wanted to drink they could easily make something you'd like. Food menu looked good too - little small bites that go along with good cocktails. Small, cozy interior. Would go again! read more

Based on drinks and the amazing pretzel with a maple mustard this place warrants a high five. The house punch is incredible, both in taste and value, $6! Bartender was solid on execution of other cocktails and the small, corner bar feel inviting in a city I otherwise didn't really enjoy that much. I'd drive back from Boston for that house punch cocktail...on my way to somewhere else. read more

Trendy, cool, fine cocktail bar. Change their cocktails list on a regular basis. The place to go if you want to fine cocktails downtown. One of the few places in PVD which gives you the impression to be in a city and not in a town! read more

horrendous-The service we got sucked we were there an hour and a half never got asked how our food was, never GOT all of our food, and saw our waitress 3 times all evening, once when we were already leaving. I will warn anyone who wants to try your establishment not to after the abhorrent service we had where we waited for our check for upward of 15 min and I tried multiple times to wave them down before and then couldn't even find anyone at the front or in the bar area. You bus yourself and the staff acts like you should be serving yourself. I watched two tables who got there 20 min after us get served and even after complaining for the check the woman dropped off extra napkins and sauces to two other tables even though we got half the food we ordered and it wasn't even what we ordered! 13$ half pours with shit service, just saying. Your call but I wouldn't ‍ read more

Oh boy, I love this place! The drinks are incredible, seriously... The bartenders are very clearly talented and passionate professionals. I came here a few weekends ago and yes, it was crowded (it's a snug, little cocktail bar) but it was a kind of crowded you can get used to. Everyone was laughing, in a great mood and having fun! The atmosphere was truly wonderful. read more

They think they are really cool. Walk in on wedding day and get denied because they can't accommodate 6 people. Walk in a year later when empty and can't accommodate 10 people because expecting more people. They think they are cool. read more

nice outdoor spot but the hostess is really stressful with all the covid rules, the waiters won't touch anything near you, and you have to clean your own table when you leave. I mean, I understand we all need to be careful, respect social distancing and hygienic rules but they are too much in this restaurant, it ruins your experience. Moreover we waited 30' to get the snacks, and 15' for a bread refill. I suggest to go there for their cocktails but nothing else read more

One of the best additions to Providence nightlife, I can easily seeing this becoming a staple of downtown PVD. When you see John Richard of The Avery drinking at a bar, you know it's good. Pros: Fantastic, enjoyable drinks of a quality not typically expected of RI. The collection of spirits behind the bar are very well thought out; even the most jaded cocktail drinker will spot something that will pique their interest. High ceilings = low volume even when filled to capacity at midnight on a Friday night. Plentiful coat hooks under the bar, you'll love them when you really need them. Excellent flow for such a small place, there are very few spots where you are not close enough to the bar or a server to order another drink. Super friendly, super knowledgeable staff. Jay and Alicia really know what they're doing. Cons: One bathroom = long wait on Friday and Saturday nights. Limited (yet really friggin' good) food menu. Come to drink and snack, not to dine out. Tips: Come for the excellent Sazeracs (cheap, to boot!) and stay for the Bartender's Choice. read more

Good reliable late night drinking spot. Enjoy the vibe and drinks and often end up here after whatever else I've been doing!

I was excited to try this place out after reading all the good reviews. I found The Eddy to be too small, too noisy (could barely hear my friend across the table!), and too expensive for the quality and size of the drinks. Might come back, might not. read more

This bar did an amazing job adjusting to outdoor seating. The drink menu is great as always and the menu and check are contactless from a QR code. The staff is so friendly and explained the news ways they are operating. Nice vibe outdoors and the best drinks! read more

If not the hippest, then definitely the most efficient bar in PVD. Tiny bar, but they churn out award-worthy cocktails, beer, and wine in record time. Classy atmosphere and even on a busy Saturday night, less pretentious than I would have guessed! Nice work. read more
