They have a few beers on tap and in bottles plus a full bar. Food menus are available and specials on are a big blackboard on the wall near the bar. After chatting with the cook for a bit seems he can make your spicy food as spicy as you like it. Just let them know. Pro tip. Besides bar seating a few high tops are scattered around the small space. I believe there is one bathroom for all, but I did not use it, so not sure. Entrance is up a couple of steps on the front or back of the building. A small covered outdoor seating area is at the back to enjoy the beverages in fine weather. Parking is across the side street in a lot shared with another business (that building looks uninhabited, but I'm told it's an event hall) or street side. Nice staff. Lovely locals. Super casual.

Check Always some strange movie playing on the TV's. Check A dark dive bar that checks all of the boxes. What more can I say? Tip: Don't be afraid to order a specialty drink, they enjoy pouring them. Thanks

There are only a couple tables and it's pretty small inside but it wasn't entirely packed when I was there. I would come back here with no complaints.

We've driven by Whalen Cafe on West Shore Road in Warwick like a bazillion times & last night, we…read morefinally gave in to our curiosity. The moment we stepped inside, it had that classic neighborhood bar feel & was bursting with character & authenticity. The vibe is no frills, down-to-earth & completely unpretentious. Just the essentials: good food at a great price, full bar & staff that knows what they're doing. Regulars chat like old friends & first-timers get a look but fit right in. Hubby zeroed in on the snail salad listed on the whiteboard & couldn't resist ordering it. It ended up being the thinnest-shaved scungilli either of us has ever eaten! Was it the best snail salad I've ever had (Uncle Tony's in Cranston still has that rank for me)? No... but it was super tender & flavorful. Would we order it again? Yes. A quick heads-up: it's cash-only, but fortunately, there's an ATM onsite so settling your tab is never an issue. Whalen Cafe is one of those classic local gems that remind you why neighborhood spots matter.

Great food, good beer, and I love the local atmosphere- it definitely has vibes from my childhood of down to earth and no frills but with everything that you need and a great bartender. It was cash only when I went. I ordered the hot Italian grinder and it rocked my world!

This used to be my favorite bar. That is, until my clash with the owner about my jukebox…read moreselections. She is a big fan of bluegrass music, which I like in small doses. So one day I decide to play some rock music, fairly mainstream stuff, and she sends her lackey over to cancel ALL of my choices. Mind you, I don't go in for fringe-alt-rock, but I do for instance prefer Jimi Hendrix to, say, the Beach Boys. So I pop in my four quarters for 12 songs. She is behind the bar with the smug smirk while the lackey does his thing. I was taken aback by this rudeness. Ya know, why not just pack your jukebox with shitkicker music and eliminate the conflict?

The decor is old and interesting. They have an old Budweiser 3-D sign that brings back memories & cool lanterns from the past. A great place if you were looking for a place for a drink and quiet conversation as there were plenty of high top tables or a seat at the bar to meet a few local people. So glad we stopped in & will frequent Jack's bar.

So if you have lived on the west side of Providence for a while, you surely are aware of the legend…read morethat was the E & O . So, I was understandably hesitant about a new bar moving into what was considered by many to be hallowed ground. Since I walk by it on my way home from work, I decided to stop in soon after it first opened to see what it was like. And now I am a regular and it's one of my favorite watering holes in the city. Super cool atmosphere, with tons of horror movie memorabilia on the walls. A couple of pinball machines ( including a brand new Evil Dead one which is really sweet), and neat liitle outback area for nicer days. They also occasionally have music and drag shows inside, and in the summer months cool shows outside in the parking lot next door. You can also grab a grilled cheese or a hot dog from Puggles Grilled Cheese most days of the week if you're feeling peckish. And my favorite thing... PICKLEBACKS.... !!!! All the drinks are cheap and they have a good selection of beers and ciders. Maybe most importantly, the owners Jeff and Courtney are absolutely lovely people who really understood keeping the locals vibe of the E & O era but also being it's own thing. Definitely support this great establishment.

I've been coming to McKinley's my whole life, so writing this genuinely stings…read more The food is still good and the location is unbeatable -- but something has gone wrong behind the scenes, and it's starting to show. On St. Patrick's Day, I watched multiple bartenders yelling at each other in plain sight of the customers. It was uncomfortable and honestly just sad to witness at a place I've always loved. We left and went elsewhere. It also made sense of something I'd been noticing on recent visits, the place has been unusually quiet for what it had always been. Having been a regular through many staff changes over the years, I can say with confidence that the current bartenders simply don't represent what McKinley's is and what it stands for. I am not the first to state this. The right staff sets the tone for the whole place -- and right now, this group is chipping away at the local reputation and vibe that it's known for. I say all of this as someone who genuinely loves this place and wants to keep coming back. I really hope ownership and management take a hard look at what's happening, because the people behind the bar right now, I believe, are the reason regulars are walking out early, not coming back as often, or even coming back at all. They're definitely starting to get a reputation in our small town. There are too many great local spots to settle for an experience like this. It's unfortunate to write this, but the talk is getting very loud and somebody had to.

There are little details everywhere you look and it feels fun, warm and intentionally designed without trying too hard. It is such a great space for a gathering. The food was delicious. I tried the weekly deviled eggs, a selection of charcuterie and cheeses, and the whipped feta dip with fresh cut veggies. Everything was fresh, flavorful and perfect for grazing during a cocktail-style event. The winter cranberry spritz was basically all of my favorite flavors in one glass. So so good. Their cocktail and mocktail menu really shines and I cannot wait to go back and try more. As someone with food intolerances, I asked plenty of questions and everyone was friendly, patient and helpful with both menu guidance and cocktail suggestions. That always makes such a difference. There was even parking, which is a huge bonus. This is the perfect spot for a winter cocktail party or a fun night out. I will definitely be gathering my girls and heading back soon.
