    i was so very lucky to have had the pleasure of getting to try 9(!!!) courses at the oh so stunning Jefferson Co. this past Sunday night! i have been a big fan of their first location, the Jefferson Speakeasy, for years because Alex (the owner) and his staff are truly unmatched. every conversation, every bite, every sip is genuine, purposeful and magical they have hospitality down to a science, the art of food and drink mastered, and the love for their RI community is truly one of a kind. who else invites a large group to a 3-4 course dinner, only to serve 9 well thought out dishes, served with craft cocktails, delicious sparkling rose, and smooth red wine so each sip and bite is unique and memorable. not to mention service was organized, systematic and seamless. guests felt at home--as all staff is beyond personable (per usual ) and all dietary restrictions were taken care of meticulously so that everyone's experience was special. i have honestly never seen anything like it in my life i don't stay out late on a Sunday night, especially in a state i don't even live in, so that is saying a lot about me attending this special tasting. my amazing server, Emery, knew i was getting antsy about it being way past my bedtime, and she packed our desserts to go, which was so appreciated as missing the banana foster was not remotely an option in my mind I look forward to many more wonderful experiences at this new location for many years to come.

    Their specialty espresso martini...I think it's called the 1776 or something.

    Loved the vibe of this cool little speakeasy! A great list of drinks, very cool atmosphere, music to set the tone, and even live music on weekends. I enjoyed just chilling with a drink, feeling so welcomed. Their theme is democracy based, with quotes on the wall from Kennedy & and everyone is welcome vibe. Try to wear something sharp...because remember...it's a speakeasy, not a pub!

    Love the atmosphere here. The decor is perfect for a basement speakeasy, and the service is top notch. There is plenty of seating at the large O shaped bar, and the table seating is really nice as well. I have not tried the food, but there are several small bites included on the menu. Of course, the stars of the show are the cocktails, and we have never had a bad one here! On last night's visit, I had a deleicious berry cocktail, my friend had a "Dead Man's Redemption (basically a Manhattan), and my other friend had the "Treasure Island", which included rum and pineapple. Wish this speakeasy was in the middle of our neighborhood, but it is so worth the drive!

    we went to for a night cap. best pistachio martini Ive ever had! they make all the desert in house and unfortunately we're out of most because it was the end of the night, but we were able to try the vanilla bourbon gelato paired with raspberry sorbet omg my new favorite flavor. The vibe and live music were awesome and we were told they will be opening a second larger location soon.

    Bar decor...skulls and spirits.

    Amazing service. Amazing cocktails. Amazing music and ambiance. You would never imagine that this place existed from the exterior. Truly a hidden gem. An entirely top notch experience from beginning to end. Can't wait to go back!

    Amazing speakeasy in Warwick. Dimly lit space with a good amount of seating inside. They have a pretty diverse selection of cocktails. The dead man's redemption was really good; the smoke show was a nice touch. The corpse reviver was expertly crafted and tasted delicious. Overall great experience, I'd definitely return. The service was great.

    This was my second visit to Jefferson's. While I can't eat any of their amazing sounding food (as I can't have gluten...), the drinks always impress. The vibe is dark, moody, swanky and classy, without being pretentious. How they accomplish this is beyond me. The service is absolutely impeccable. The drinks are straight from an era long gone, with the most amazing sazerac I've ever had. The showmanship that goes into each interaction truly makes this establishment a place to sit and rest a while.

    A great local cocktail bar, known for hand crafted and specialty drinks. We enjoyed the espresso martini and banana crème Brûlée cocktail. Great wrap-around bar and cozy atmosphere. Helpful and friendly service, offering us water when we sat down. The servers are also dressed like old-time speakeasy bartenders which is a nice touch.

    Step back in time at the Jefferson Speakeasy. Enjoy one of their specialty cocktails from days past! The service is impeccable, the ambiance is what you would expect from a classic speakeasy. When I want a special cocktail this is my go to location!

My friend got the same and enjoyed his. We also got the nectarine salad which was delicious and the loaded falafel fries which were I got the black cherry cider which was excellent My friend got a cocktail with mezcal called hello Daisy which was excellent The reason I'm knocking off a star is because the burger didn't come with anything, no sides fries etc. the price is pretty high given the quantity quality of food etc. We sat inside and everything was great they have outdoor seating as well. Parking is on the street. Another thing I didn't like is they charge a kitchen fee. No matter it comes out of their tip but I think it's a little bit weird I think this would be a great place to get a drink. The food was very good and on point but given the price point it's a bit on the high Overall I would come back for the bar but not in a rush for the food for the price point

    I had the absolutely perfect dinner here. We were a party of 6- 2 kids meals…read more We started off with the bread bowl with 3 dipping sauces. The pesto was bright green and amazing, best ever. I had the osso bocco. It was a large portion , falling off the bone deliciously seasoned with a tasty spinach, grits underneath. I enjoyed every bite. I was sorry I couldn't eat it all! I shared some with others telling them how delicious it was. My friend ordered the bolognese entree which she says is the best she has ever had. Their eggplant parm sandwich was recommended as well. My husband had the shrimp fettuccine, also delicious. The kids like their chicken tenders. Hostess was friendly and sat us right away. Waiter was so nice. Took drink orders and brought everything out efficiently. Checked if we needed anything. He was great with the kids. When we complimented him on our food, he was pleased. It looks that the restaurant is adequately staffed so that the service is excellent. Ambience is good. Moderate noise but has a pleasant hum. Unfortunately, we were visiting so I don't get to dine there as frequently as possible. Prices are reasonable!

Inside was nice with a large bar, high top tables and then some lounge chair seating. When I went to the bathroom, I discovered they had an outside patio with table and chairs. We ended up sitting out here and enjoyed it. The drinks were good but my favorite part was they have games to use while at the establishment. We chose the hook and ring toss game but they had cards and I think chess too. We did not have food on this visit but would come back to try it. It is a good place to go before or after going to the Comedy Connection.

    First time here. A date night with my wife. I read the recent reviews. It was good enough for…read moremost of them - 4 on the average to commit coming here. There were a few 1s and 3s, and if you dig deep, they were not reliable reviews. Anyways, if you come here knowing that it is a bar and lounge with limited menu for food, but good selection of canned and draft beer, plus full bar, then you will be happy. We had the nachos with BBQ pulled bork, and lemon pepper dry rub wings. The rating for these are solid 4, not like the 3s some folks left. The only thing that prevents them from attaining 5 is the attention to details and care that it takes to make them true 5 stars. But again, this a a bar and lounge. I think it would not matter much if come here later in the evening, after you have been to dinner elsewhere, and want to hang out with your friends with late night snack and drinks. I thought the service was friendly but a bit relaxed, but again, if you come here to chill, being the "relaxed" atmosphere will not upset you. If you want a speedy and attentive service, this place is not it. We did enjoy the vibe though. Probably a good place to come before or after the show at Comedy Connection next door.
