They also have a great jukebox. Bartenders are friendly and quick. There's usually some kind of punch available with a name like Ecto-cooler which is a weird color but completely delicious if you're into that sort of thing. They sometimes have pop-ups there, one time they had fancy grilled cheese sandwiches. Definitely a fun spot! It's pretty small inside so just know that and don't roll in with a huge crew...

The bar has over 35 different beers to try, quick inexpensive bites to eat, a jukebox, a pool table, and a dartboard, and not to mention the occasional live band.

Inside, there is bar that goes almost the length of the building, topped completely in pennies, with a couple of small tables at the rear. Bartender lady was busy with the regulars, knowing what everyone drank. She kept the cold beers coming for hubby & made a mean vodka soda for me. On our right, the guys were knee-deep into drinking. On our left, we met a pho aficionado with an opinion on every place in Rhode Island that serves it (Ebisu & Uncle Sushi were his faves). Cheap beer, stiff pours & an eclectic, slightly older crowd made for an interesting outing. It is everything a true dive bar should be (& the restroom was surprisingly very clean). FYI - no food service & cash only.

There's one bartender there which was nice but not much of a personality. I usually go there after a night of drinking for the after party. There's on-street parking and if you go early enough there's still room at the bar. There's also a jukebox. It's far from a fancy place but it's a fun place to kick back and relax with your friends. It's open late and it's a fun environment when you're playing your own music on the jukebox. Every-time I visit my friends we always somehow end the night here; usually on the weekends. If you're in the area and looking for laidback fun, check this place out. They don't have food but they sell chips and snacks. I also like how the bar top is lined with pennies!

We sat outdoors near the fire pit, which was pretty cozy and a great place for a larger group of people. I ordered a drink at the bar and Joe, my bartender, was super accommodating and nice! I was a little surprised it didn't have a salt rim as a margarita but I'm sure they would've added one if I requested it. The drink itself was AMAZING and the mezcal was super tasty. They don't skip on the portion of the drink. My favorite part was the presentation of the drink, I loved the little green flamingo! After a while, I got hungry and decided to order food. I love how they have many vegan options here. I ended up getting truffle tots, which were AMAZING. It was a pretty large portion, perfect for a filling snack. I was impressed with the freshness of them. I also tried my friend's order of regular tator tots which were also good but a bit on the salty side. If you're visiting Providence, you definitely need to check this place out.

I love the Brussels and the drink menu is super creative! Most of the drinks are a little too sweet for me but they have a few that are more focused on the spirit, which I love. I love the tiki cups too. I just wish it was non smoking here, I get that people can smoke outside but when the doors are open (front and back patio) people are just smoking near the door and the smell does carry in.

Nautical-themed neighborhood bar in a scenic part of Providence near Brown University…read more My girlfriend and I had planned to come to Captain Seaweeds while visiting the city and stopped in right when it opened. The building is pretty unassuming from the outside as it is located in a quiet part of town, though there is plenty to stare at as soon as you walk in the front door - the walls are covered with interesting trinkets from ship wheels and pirates to a 5-ft tiki sculpture in the corner. The outdoor patio is even more decked-out - much larger than I was expecting and fully-equipped with private tables and unique decor, including a coy pond and life-size statue of the ol' Cap'n himself. The best part of our time here was spent interacting with Michael - the man behind the bar. He was very friendly, engaging, and had plenty of great stories to tell. We felt very welcome the entire time and will definitely be stopping in again the next time we're in Providence!

Years ago, we wandered in for a cocktail & we have been telling people about the bar ever since. Nautical decor everywhere you look, a pool table, sports on the TVs & a cute outdoor space. For us, it is more of a beer & a shot or simple drink place, never once seen a frou-frou drink (but maybe that is because I am not looking for one). No food service but they allow you to bring it in from an outside restaurant (many great options on Ives Street!). Great way to get your evening started or one for the road! Highly recommend.
