    This experience was a late Friday bar night~ this place still felt comfy and cozy, with seats available for small groups and plenty seating available ~ I really saw this place more full than usually? But it wasn't crowded at all~ music was very southern cartoon, which was good because we weren't paying attention to it, and my friends had a full chisme session, as girlies do in the evenings~~ I had a mango away and it was delicious and worth the price. Cajun fries were the best and perfectly seasoned shareable food for our table~ Order at the bar for your food and open a tab~ they do get busy so the wait can take some time, but they will deliver it if they can to your table~ I would come back again for a casual bar night~

    Awesome bar service, very knowledgeable and fun. Drinks are off the charts and not over priced. Missed the live music but will be back!!

    Hell yes! I have had this spot on my list since moving to town over a month ago. Came back from NYC and thought I would stop in for dinner and jazz. Lived up and exceeded expectations! Rivaled any of the spots I just went to in East village. Cheers team, glad to live nearby

    The Royal Bobcat is such a cool place to hangout and grab drinks and food. The food is served by Hanju kitchen. Drink orders are placed at the bar & food orders are placed at the kitchen window. The decor is cozy with cat pictures on the walls. There are a good amount of tables and bar seating. The bartender was very friendly and took his time to explain the drinks and give recommendations. I had the Royal Hawaiian which has Empress 1908 Gin, Pineapple Juice, Lemon, and Almond Syrup. It was very good and the color is so pretty. I'll definitely be coming back for their live jazz nights.

    The drinks were solid, but the bar was completely empty. I went with my husband and sister in law around 5:30pm on a Wednesday, so maybe the ambiance is better at other times. We will go back at another time to try more drinks and see if there is more going on there. It just felt a little out of the way from other spots, which may factor in to not being busy at that time.

    My plan was to have dinner at Hanju Kitchen and then learned it's actually located inside The Royal Bobcat (you order the food at a little kitchen window). So visiting The Royal Bobcat was a result of my dinner plans, however I absolutely loved it! It's such a fun space, with elegant pictures of cats on the walls. The seating is cool and funky, and it just has a really nice vibe. There was one bartender when we were there on a weeknight, but it was only around 5:30pm and probably got busier later on. I tried the Royal Hawaiian and really loved it. A beautiful and tasty drink I'd order again. Even though my purpose for visiting The Royal Bobcat was initially for the food at Hanju Kitchen, I'm so glad it gave me an opportunity to discover this fun and interesting lounge/bar. I'll happily return.

    Favorite bar ever, great drinks and reasonable prices! Also such a cool place with live music.

    Half cup of gumbo.

    I door dashed gumbo and beignets. I couldn't be more disappointed. The food was not good. Had no resemblance of gumbo. The food was super dry. I literally got a cup of rice with a pinch of meat to cover the top. The price was expensive for the serving size. Never again. Highly disappointed

    This bar has everything I love: mouthwatering cocktails, delicious Korean Cajun food from Hanju kitchen, and live jazz music! Plenty of comfortable seating, beautiful artwork, and wonderful service.

    This is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for something a little different on the Hill. Yes, you could go to one of the half dozen wine bars or hookah bars but wont have the same experience. This bar is dimly lit, fantastically decorated with outstanding cocktails, what else could a girl ask for? The tiny "pop-up" kitchen serves up delicious Korean dishes. Just do yourself a favor and grab a drink, spend some time and enjoy yourself.

    Stopped by here for a drink with a couple of friends on our first night in Rhode Island. Drinks were actually pretty strong and great for what you're paying. Has a nice edgy vibe and sort of reminds you of a speakeasy. Expect to pay around $16 for a drink - pretty standard!

    This place is my dream come true. New Orleans themed cocktails, Korean food and live jazz music in a speakeasy setting? Sign me up. The interior decor and ambiance when you walk in is astounding. Love the corner food counter. For drinks, got the cranberry jalapeño margarita and the last word. Both cocktails were pretty good. For food, we got the spicy gumbo, pork dumplings and the surf and turf rice. Loved the gumbo. Good depth of flavors. Pork dumplings were good as well. Surf and turf rice was Aok, didn't really like the fried shrimp. Wish they had one with just the beef bulgogi. Side of kimchi would be nice too. Overall great experience. They have live jazz on Wednesday and Saturday nights.

    Somehow, despite having lived here for years and spending plenty of time around downtown…read moreProvidence, I had never been to The Eddy. I'm honestly not sure how I missed it, because this is exactly the kind of place I like finding. It is the true definition of a small cocktail bar. The space is tiny, intimate, and has a very specific atmosphere, so if you're looking for a big place with plenty of tables, this probably isn't it. If you're looking for a great cocktail in a cozy little bar, however, you're in the right place. The cocktail menu is excellent. There are a lot of creative options that go well beyond the standard collection of Old Fashioneds, Margaritas, and Martinis you'll find at most bars. The drinks are imaginative without becoming gimmicky, and the combinations we tried were really well balanced and interesting. You can tell there is some serious thought behind the cocktail program, and it makes ordering something new a lot of fun. Our waitress was fantastic as well. My wife ordered a drink that apparently isn't something every bartender is familiar with, so our waitress went back to the bartender to ask about it. The bartender immediately knew exactly what she was talking about, which was a nice little reminder that these people actually know their drinks. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience easy without hovering over us. The music deserves a mention, too. It was fantastic and fit the atmosphere perfectly. The Eddy has that comfortable, slightly dark cocktail-bar feeling where you can sit down, have a drink, listen to good music, and actually enjoy being there rather than feeling like you're sitting in a loud restaurant waiting for someone to bring you your check. My only real warning is that this place is genuinely small. That is part of its charm, but it also means getting in and finding a seat can be difficult at times, particularly when it's busy. You probably shouldn't show up with a large group expecting to immediately find a table. For two people looking for a couple of really good cocktails, though, it's pretty much ideal. The prices are also quite reasonable for the quality of the drinks. You're obviously paying cocktail-bar prices rather than dive-bar prices, but I didn't feel like we were being taken advantage of. Considering the creativity and quality of what we were drinking, I thought the prices were perfectly fair. I'm actually a little annoyed that I went this long without knowing The Eddy existed. Providence has so many cocktail bars that you can spend years here and still keep discovering places you've somehow walked past a hundred times. The Eddy is definitely going on the list of places we need to come back to, and we will 100% be back.

    What an amazing bar with an incredible atmosphere! The bartenders truly make this place deserve…read more7,273,738,382,838 stars.
