Lychee Mezcal

Great food and great service! We came during the week so there were no crowds, and the service was really good. I wasn't a big fan of the drunk I got, and they were really nice about refunding and letting me get a different drink. I had my kids with me and they have a fun arcade area for the kids to play at (although there were some young adults over there enjoying the games, too). Even with the games, it wasn't too loud and they had some TVs at the bar which was nice too. The food was delicious and I'll definitely come back!!

Brussels Sprouts with kimchi, bacon, radish
Bill C.

Not sure I can legitimately review G Pub since we only got one dish but I will anyway. We had the Brussels sprouts and kimchi. Sounds like it should be good, right? It should but it seems like they just got in the Korean food bandwagon and don't know what to do with the kimchi. The Brussels sprouts were flash fried and hot (warm, really) and crispy. The kimchi was cold. In Korean culture, Kimchi can be and often is served hot. In this case, it should have been because my mouth kept going through different temperature changes and couldn't focus on the flavors. Also, the bacon seemed like an afterthought. Rather than bacon, I'd suggest some crispy pork belly--another staple of Korean cuisine. G Pub: if you ever make the changes I recommend, let me know. I'd love to come try it.

Special burger

Had the OG burger with the cheese in it and it was the best burger ive had in a long time! Good beer and good service. I really liked the vibe of this place it was busy, you can play games and pool, and lots of TVs.

Great place to grab a quick pub lunch that is reasonably priced. One of my favorite places in downtown Providence thus far! The staff is great and are ready to make any accommodations. I came with a friend who has severe food allergies and they did a great job with ensuring she would get a meal that was safe to eat. The arcade is also pretty fun and doesn't rob your pockets. You get 12-16 tokens for a fiver and each game takes 4. We particularly had a blast with air hockey after lunch. Definitely check this place out if you're in downtown Providence.

Salted Caramel Espresso Martini. 'Nuf said.
Jen W.

While in PVD running errands we stopped into G Pub for an adult beverage and appetizer. We had never been and did not know what to expect. First, the entrance is down a side street. There is a banner hanging from an awning by the door. Enter a vestibule, turn to the right and enter down a flight of stairs. This is a very industrial venue. Wide open spaces. Heavy wooden tables. Comfy tufted booths. A bar runs the entire length of the dining area along the far wall. At the opposite end from the staircase are several games from air hockey and billiards to motorcycle arcade games and shooting hoops. I'm sure it is quite loud on a busy weekend night. We arrived about 5pm. There is a hostess stand at the foot of the stairs and she seated us in one of their tufted booths. There was only one other table occupied at the time and a few guests were seated at the bar. Our waitress was really wonderful. Came up shortly after we were seated, introduced herself, asked if we had been there before. Really great customer service and very personable. We ended up chatting with her for a bit toward the end of our visit about travel and the other businesses associated with G Pub. She really increased the enjoyment of our visit. I tried the Salted Caramel Espresso Martini from their cocktail menu. It comes with a salted pretzel rim and looks so fancy. It has a very mild taste and easy to drink. The presentation is just so cute. My So ordered an IPA on tap. They do have several beers on tap and a full bar. Although we had originally intended to dine here, we had stuffed ourselves on milkshakes a couple hours earlier and we were not up for a full meal. Instead we opted to try their beef short rib poutine. Nicely presented in a small cast iron crock, topped with pickled jalapeños. The pickling brine is sweet, making the peppers sweet & sour. They were interesting and although I am not a fan of jalapenos generally, I like these. My SO however, who does like jalapenos, did not care for the sweet. He likes their heat to stand alone. The fries are big, very fluffy inside and cooked crispy outside where not covered in gravy. The gravy didn't have much flavor. There is a good amount of short rib in the mix and the meat is salty. Curds were melted throughout. This is a mild tasting, filling appetizer. We definitely would come back again to try more of the menu. There are a variety of seating options, booth, table, bar and would be good for a large group. Parking is on the street, or in one of the nearby pay lots or garages. Public transport has stops nearby and it is very close to a few downtown hotels.

Fried pickles

Came here for a quick lunch, we sat at the bar, ordered small plates and a burger. The Pepsi was flat I prefer coke, but the beer selection is great and they have plenty of games to play for enjoyment. Service wasn't the best

Great audience: good service, good games, good beer. a Not a crazy-full scene for Pats game day. I like that. Did you know they have pitchers of beer? Well, they do. Food = Good

Braised short ribs
Adsana S.

Came here with a group of friends before the pride parade. Was the only place that could accommodate my group of 7 in downtown providence on short notice with a reservation. The rooftop was full. First impressions walking in and then down underground kind of gave a cool speak easy vibe.. they were understaffed since a lot of workers wanted to go celebrate pride but they did a great job being short staffed. The food was excellent. I had braised short ribs .. large hunks of meat, soft, tender, moist, and flavorful. Was very happy with my meal. Very good bar vibe and they cater well to large groups. Perfect mood lighting.. not stark but comfortable and inviting. They also have an arcade in the space as well.. seems like a good fun place to chill with friends have drinks, and a good time.

Friday night drinking: crowded, loud music, live band, games in the back corner. No flashy, young crowd. Want some food? Impossible to get the waitress attention, it's better to go to the bar and order and wait for your food there.

Service is usually pretty slow here, even when it's not busy, but the veggie burger is so good that I don't mind the wait.

This is a solid place to watch a game!

Not too messy. The celery served with the wings was downright squishy, though, which gave me the ick. **The bar & high top seating area is definitely the best place to watch the game, with multiple huge screens. The area is a bit cramped, unfortunately. It felt a bit clausty. The floors, tables, & menus were sticky, too.

The ambience: The bar area can be loud and boisterous so you have to be in the mood for that vibe. That being said, it's fun and welcoming with great service. The food and drinks: Their specialty cocktails are strong, taste good and are affordably priced. I had a cherry one (can't remember the name) but it was flavorful and not too sweet. They also have a large selection of beers both on tap and in cans. The shrimp Poboy is absolutely huge and stuffed with well seasoned fried shrimp and the accompanying sweet potato fries were crispy and delicious. We ordered a greek salad to go and it was a generous portion covered with kalamata olives, feta cheese and picked vegetables. My only tip would be to have them put toppings on the side next time to keep the lettuce crispy. Otherwise a very satisfying salad! We tried to order the fish sandwich but both times they have been sold out so I guess it must be good! Definitely plan to go back to try more menu items and cocktails!

I know there are some great breakfast spots nearby. Like legit brunch go to spots. But - I was not willing to give up my free parking to get there. Ha! Also did not want the tired ole breakfast sammy at the venue. So Yelp steered me here. Was thinking I'd an omelette off menu was where I'd end up but got there and found out there's a buffet with a an omelette station...was it more expensive? Not sure but for $25 there was plenty of fruit, breakfast sides, waffles, and so much more. Abraham whipped up an amazing veggie egg white omelette for me. Service was attentive and prompt. The vibe is your standard hotel dining area - forgot to mention it is the Hilton restaurant. Entrance is through the hotel lobby. It was a great sit down breakfast.

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.
