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.

The lighting is dark and intimate, perfect for a drink on a date! While the wine list is what I go for, there's also cocktails, beer, and a variety of non alcoholic options, which was great for meeting friends here during dry January. Can't wait to be back in the summer with the patio!

Maybe could've been done in a nicer way, especially because I still tipped and covered the drink (and it was not busy in the slightest). Anyway, the space was really nice but I wish they would've let her turn up her music more so we could've danced.

I visited on Halloween 2026, and really wanted to like this place. But for a 'whisky bar', my old…read morefashioned was mediocre (though, undersized), and served with crushed ice...and no cherry (!?). I'd expect that at an Applebees. But in a place that bills itself as a whisky bar, I expected something higher end, with a proper large cube. Not the same ice they put in a Diet Coke. They also had no specialty old fashioned cocktails, just a single boring, basic drink on the menu. With the exception of the (very) small oysters, however, the food was very good - especially the chicken bites. Those were a home run. If they would correct the deficient cocktails, and back off the horrible techno/house music that was completely out of place, this could be a decent place. Unless they correct that ONE thing they're supposed to be good at, though, I can't recommend it.

Given that I had been there a handful of times and had brief but pleasant conversations with him, the grossly unenthusiastic, passive-aggresive approach today was disappointing. Since my go-to drink has been removed from the menu since having last had it in late APRIL/early MAY, there is now little reason to return. I truly wish hospitality workers would remind themselves prior to every shift that their personality pays their bills.

Expecting a…read moretraditional restaurant, I was initially taken aback by the upbeat bar/lounge vibe, but all hesitation vanished after my first sip. The espresso martini was genuinely like nothing I've had before--incredibly flavorful with the perfect top froth. Even though I was feeling a bit introverted that evening, sitting at the bar was a great experience. The bartenders were warm, attentive, and made sure I was completely taken care of, even in a loud, bustling crowd. For food, I ordered the sliders and the mac and cheese. Calling it the best bar food I've ever had feels like an understatement--the flavor and seasoning rival fine dining at half the price. I even ordered the steak skewers to go for later! Whenever I'm back in town, Red Door will definitely be my first stop. Two thumbs up--keep doing God's work!

We ordered a hummus tray as an appetizer and somehow it came out at the SAME time as our entrees. I genuinely don't understand that, especially when it's hummus and pita chips and there really isn't anything that needs to be cooked. Why bring the appetizer out with the actual meal?? By the time I tried to enjoy the hummus and move onto my entree, my food was already cold. The hummus itself was pretty bland, the burger was overcooked and burnt, and the pita chips weren't good either. There was also this cigarette-like taste to the food that I couldn't get past. Unfortunately, between the service, the timing and the food, this was just a really disappointing experience. I really wanted to like this place, but I wouldn't go back based on this visit.

I was a little confused because when we came it wasn't a margarita but I think vodka based?

Whatever it was did taste good on a hot day but I think I'd rather have a regular margarita and keep my ice cream separate.
