I've been coming to G Pub for years, but I've found myself here even more often recently while watching the World Cup, and every visit has been an absolute blast. If you're looking for a place to catch a big game in Providence, I honestly don't think there's a better option. The first thing you'll notice is just how much space there is. Even when the place is busy, it rarely feels cramped. The open layout gives everyone room to spread out, and with TVs seemingly everywhere you never have to fight for a good view. Whether you're there for soccer, football, hockey, or March Madness, it's one of the best sports-viewing setups around. No matter where you're sitting, you can keep an eye on the game. I also love the atmosphere. The industrial tavern look with the exposed ductwork, brick, and historic columns gives the place a lot of character without trying too hard. It's casual enough to grab a beer after work, but nice enough to spend an entire evening with friends. The food deserves just as much praise as the atmosphere. This isn't your average pub menu. They take familiar comfort food and elevate it without making it overly complicated. The OG Burger is outstanding and one of my go-to orders whenever I'm there. If you're with a group, don't skip the Everything Bagel Pretzels. They're perfect for sharing and disappear from the table much faster than you'd expect. The beer selection is another reason I keep coming back. They have an impressive lineup of craft beers with a great mix of local Rhode Island breweries and regional favorites, so there's always something new to try alongside the classics. One feature that doesn't get talked about enough is the valet parking. Anyone who has spent time driving around downtown Providence knows parking can be frustrating, so having valet available makes the whole experience that much easier. It's also in a great location if you're heading to a show at the G Hospitality theater. We've met friends there before performances, grabbed dinner and drinks, and simply walked over when it was time for the show. What really ties everything together is the energy. Whether it's a packed house during the World Cup, a busy Friday night, or just a random weeknight, G Pub has a fun atmosphere that keeps people coming back. The staff has always been friendly, the food is consistently good, the drinks never disappoint, and the whole place just knows what it wants to be. I've been here more times than I can count, and I fully expect there will be many more visits ahead. If you're in downtown Providence looking for great food, excellent beer, and one of the best places in the city to watch a game, G Pub is an easy five-star recommendation. read more

Where to begin? Food is from Sysco. You can literally get all the items they offer, of the same quality, at any neighborhood grill, Applebee's or TGI Fridays. Naming a sandwich for a town is a pretty lame way to connect to the community. It sort of exposes you as a fraud. Burgers were not bad, it's just our group would rather know what we are getting. Things here are "a la carte", so it's like pay for a burger and then pay for fries. It's a mirage that you are getting a deal, but you really aren't. You are paying full freight for Sysco food. Drinks... oh my god, don't even get me started. Ordered a bourbon neat and got what looked like half a normal pour. Our group was literally laughing out loud, and the bartender clearly hearing us, did not even attempt to remedy the situation. It was pretty clear that this happens quite a lot. Usual suspects for the beers, mass produced and national brands --- stuff you can buy anywhere around RI at any sports bar. Decor is cool, it's well thought out, but it's in a basement. If it was a rave in a basement... that'd be cool... but it's a sports bar in a basement. This place has karoake rooms, although we didn't use them. It's kind of like they ripped off a bunch of other places in the area and created one place to do everything --- losing any sense of originality or uniqueness that it could have had. Crowd...strange mix of bros, people who used to go to the $3 bar, and financial district people looking for a cheap drink. Quite possibly becomes another hanley's when the college kids return. Oh yea, enjoy the mob of drunk people smoking butts when you try to enter the building! If you want a real pub, go to Congress across the street. Some G pub staff told us they aren't allowed to drink at G pub so even they all go to Congress. read more

The food here was terrible. After one bite of my burger I was jealous of that rock climber who got his arm stuck under the Boulder for 180 hours and had to saw his arm off! I would have rather gone through that!!! How are you going to have a Gastro Pub without fish and chips on the menu? Does this "chef" not understand that this is a staple of a traditional gastropub? My burger was overdone to a point I would have sent it back if I had ordered it Well done, and I ordered it medium rare. They forgot the cheese, and it took forever to come out. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy, I wouldn't feed this food to Hitler's children. The atmosphere is so lavish and over done, jesus when did I move to Dubai? I tried explaining to the manager that my food was unsatisfactory and was told I didn't know what I was talking about. I know a burnt to tar burger when I see one I can tell you that much. There are probably a bunch of recent Johnson and Whales grads running that kitchen. In my experience thats when you get that under seasoned meat and french fries salted to the moon and back. I do not suggest you eat here very poor experience I wish the city of Providence wasn't so broke so they didn't have to sell off their historical buildings to corporations that just want to come through and serve garbage to the citizens! read more

Not sure what people are thinking when they give this place a fantastic review. It's a Ruby Tuesday/Fridays experience when it comes to the food. Which is fine, Providence is full of sports bars or pubs that serve whack food, but our real problem came with the drinks. There were 5 of us in the group, some of us were standing around a couple seated friends, the bartender seemed uninterested in helping us and when we finally got our drinks, they were basically all mixer and no alcohol. We jokingly asked if there was alcohol in the drinks here to a server walking by and she was not amused, gave us a stone look and walked away without saying anything at all. She must have said something to the bartender after that because service was downhill from there. I ordered the BLT, seemed like a bargain for 5 bucks, found out later that's without french fries, it came in at 8 bucks... not worth 8 bucks. It was a basic BLT. The salad is billed as a farmer's market salad but you would not think any of the vegetables were from a farmer's market. Eh, I don't know... all around I just felt exhausted being here, won't be back. read more

World Cup was today and we decided to go in and have a beer and watch the game somewhere. Not being from here we decided on a place close to the Hotel. The restaurant was surprisingly busy for teams that I don't think anyone knew existed, but we were seated right away. Even though it looked like there was quite a lot going on, the waitress was very attentive to our table. Even when she wasn't, the manager still came over to check just in case. The reason I am mentioning this is because while we were sitting, we could see a couple tables being extremely rude to her. My wife thought someone should chime in because we were incredibly happy with the quality of service we received, especially given the situation (soccer fans are a different group of people......). Drinks were amazing, and the bartender was especially friendly when we got up to ask him for another beer so the waitress could deal with our unbearable neighbors. We will certainly be back the next time we are in Providence, and the crowd isn't as....soccer. read more

OK, this is my third visit, but only my first at night. Having worked in Providence for nearly 6 years, I have had my try at all the corporate places, capital grill, cheesecake, pf chang, fire & ice, dave n busters, mccormicks, etc. This felt like another one of those, a concept that could be at the airport. We came in to have a couple appetizers and some draft beers, ended up just getting wings though. I can't really review a normal dining experience, but as a "pub", it falls flat on its face. It's like an irish pub wanna be. We didn't want to valet because there is free parking over on Richmond street, but they do have it here. Basically, average to below average chicken wings, with a no charm or warmth in the space at all. Isn't the whole idea of a pub to have a warm space with comfortable drinks and homey food, where you can meet to chat with friends and friendly strangers? Fail, fail, well we did meet a couple friendly people. We will be at Congress later. read more

This company is a bunch of liars, they tell you and advertise that their kareokee room is 100 all included for an hour. We stayed there for an hour, they never said there was a minimum. We stayed one hour and our bill was 536$ the waitress told us after one hour you can stay here till 2. They are sneaky and extremely vague when it comes to there offers I will never go to this place again. The Manager does not deserve a job especially when you lie and threaten to call the cops if we don't pay, obviously we would pay but having a bachelors in criminal justice they have no right by law to call the cops there was no crime committed, we disputed the falseness* on our bill. I would not recommend this place to anyone. They are Expensive and liars. read more

Oof, bland, uninteresting, loud as h*ll, corporate feeling... not sure what else to say. I guess it's really interesting that this place opened in the Providence scene, which is very eclectic and creative. I guess plenty of out of towners and people in the suburbs come in to get a Bud Lite and watch a game, but if that's what you are going for then there are better. It's basically a Snookers type place that's located downtown. Anyway, we were with a group of 6, drank some craft beers (I had Brooklyn), and got the wings and calamari. Average. We ended up going to Congress because we were meeting friends and we wanted to see the sunlight again (it's in a basement). read more

My husband and I decided to try something new and made a reservation at G Pub (through Open Table). We were immediately sat upon arriving, immediately serviced at the table (I wish I had gotten the name of our server) and enjoyed the same through out the dining experience. Food was amazing, atmosphere was buzzing and there are many options (pool, karaoke) for entertainment. I plan events for work and I would highly recommend this location for a future event or party. In fact we'll most likely book our holiday party here. read more

The bar staff here is terrible. I have now tried going here 3 times and it's always the same. Miserable looking people who never smile who don't know how to bartend. You sit for 7 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge you and when you ask for a menu you still don't get one. Drinks sit empty in front of you for 5 minutes even though the bartender is standing in front of you. No gluten free options...the staff barely knows what you mean when you even ask. Oh wait and you're out of sweet potato fries. No need to go on. read more

Even with just 12 people in the place it is super loud. The food quality is just fair, but the lack of customer service skills from our bartender was awful. Ordered pretzels as an app and they came out after the rest of the food. An extra order of fries appeared and she was annoyed that we did not want to keep the extra fries and pretzels. Cole slaw did not show up until we were almost done eating. No apology no manager, just a comment that "we are still new". It has been 3 months already. Time to pull it together. read more

I'm not sure what anyone is complaining about! It's great place to hang out with friends, it's clean, good service and great food!! People need to get of their high horses, I bet it's all stuck up Newport brats! This place is classy, has good layback music! Bring friends, or your boo! I bet you will have a great time! Plus it's free to get in, any Rooftop place in Boston/NYC/Miami would cost at least $30 a person! I recommend! read more

Since this review, the bartender actually found my profile and harassed me on Yelp messenger. This was reported to the restaurant who initially seemed to care and stated higher management would be in contact with me. But just as that first encounter with this place, I was again forgotten about. No response as of weeks later and no effort was made to make anything right. Extremely poor effort from top to bottom. read more

Had a blast here. Very open and inviting space. Lots of things to do other than just eat - you can play pool, shuffleboard and if daring, sing karaoke in the private rooms. I tasted their homemade bacon wrapped hot dog - so good, I ordered another. They have 21 beers on tap and have Old Speckled Hen on tap too. Great service, fun place, delicious food. I can't wait to go back and try more of their items. read more

Came here as a recommendation from a friend - so far not my favorite place in Prov, but not bad. I only got to try a few items off the menu. The pretzels and the beef jerky were great! Solid beer selection. I would definitely come back here, especially with a larger group! Apparently the karaoke rooms can be reserved for free, too. read more

Last night, I went to a Thursday Night Football wing special, and it was great! There was an incredible selection of drinks, and the staff was amazing. Our first bartender, Marleny, was terrific, and the second one was just as awesome, I just didn't catch her name. The atmosphere was great and I'll definitely be returning! read more

I love the staff here. Hard to park in this area so it's better to Uber. They have like games and stuff and it's a nice spot to hang out with friends. I don't like it here mostly because the crowd that comes here. It's generally college kid / frat boy spot but it's not that bad if that's what you're looking for. read more

Had a meeting run late and a group of us from the office wanted to catch the Celtics game. They had it on, a good menu with a lot of choices. I loved my Statler Chicken dish with chorizo. They had a pretty cool promotion where you got to play in the arcade for free if you ordered dinner the day I went. read more

Great food selection. Great staff. Great music. The bartenders were very friendly. I don't really know what else to say the place speaks for itself! If you haven't been I would recommend going sometime. Their craft beer selection is worth it on its own. read more
