    Unique speakeasy that serves great cocktails. The servers are friendly. I like the creative drinks and the presentation. This bar has a laidback neighborhood feel to it.

    Is there a better way to wrap up your Friday night than enjoying cocktails and knead donuts at a speakeasy? Probably not. I used to visit when it was Far West, and I'm impressed with what Brian and Morgan have transformed it into. The atmosphere is dark, cozy, and intimate, with a solid selection of cocktails. They offer weekly specials, and you need a password to enter. We tried the "One More Wave" and "No Shirt No Shoes Not Famous." The former had a nice balance and a pleasant passionfruit liqueur flavor, while the latter was delicious but a bit stronger than expected. Overall, it's a fantastic cocktail bar and a hidden gem in Providence. It may not be ideal for large groups, but perhaps that's part of its charm.

    This was such a cozy, late night, chill place~ check in for passwords and check out videos to figure out the location because this is a great Speakeasybar Had a girls night to just catch up, and try the drinks. Pricy but worth the price because the drinks were delicious. I ordered On The Wave, and a Negroni variation from the special week menu~ also grabbed a delicious knead donut~ yes it's on the menu~ Service can be busy, so be patient and be ready to wait~ but the server will try his best to get to you and even go to your table~ very considerate and acknowledged that there's a wait and apologizes~ highly appreciate~ I see myself coming back because it was great vibe, service and drinks for another lovely chill girls night

    Okay, fine. juniper is THE cocktail bar. I refuse to gatekeep, so here I am with my overdue review. This space has served a few iconic cocktail bars in the past, & juniper has done right by its legacy. There is a sad tendency for modern speakeasies to veer towards the pretentious, but not juniper. The operation is firmly grounded by a deep love & understanding of Providence, the industry, & the art of not taking anything too seriously. Brian & Morgan, the two man team responsible for this speakeasy, have curated a creative & welcoming space by simply being themselves & having fun. The cocktail list rotates frequently, & generally has something for every taste palette - whether you drink "old man drinks" like myself, or "fun frilly drinks" like my partner. There is a specific system & password involved in getting in to juniper, but I won't give away any more. This is where I draw the line, to pay homage to the speakeasy concept.

    I'm writing this for one simple reason, Yelp now has a list of top new spots to have a drink in Providence. I haven't any doubt that juniper should be on the top of that list. Brian Oakley of Julian's and Pizza J, and Morgan Snyder of Buttonwoods Brewery, have joined forces for the re-opening of the speakeasy bar in the Rooms & Works building on the West Side of Providence. The space formerly known as Far West, and later as High Dive. The new bar has been running in soft open/trial period for the month of August and it's a smashing good effort. Still has all the cool character the small industrial space is imbued with, and a smart and sharp cocktail menu with more than a few nods to the past. First of which is an homage to the BAG&T that Far West made famous. As I understand it, the new owners reached out to Michele and Luke for their blessings, and with a sip of the minty concoction it's almost like they never left. Add in a still fresh from the oven donut from Knead if you're lucky, or a RI slice from Pizza J, a really well made Daiquiri, or one of the most delicious MaiTai I've had in many years, this spot is a Gem. A+ and totally worth trying to find the secret password to get in during the limited hours it's open. See you there.

    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.

Our server was attentive and gave us great suggestions. I tried four cocktails some from their new menu and some of their past drinks, they were all great.

Walking in here after that movie felt like walking right back into the Star Wars universe. The music, the lighting, the layout, the vibes, everything is perfection. The service is pleasant & attentive. The drinks can sometimes be a hit, sometimes a miss. They're always expensive, though. That's one reliable factor. Most recently, I tried the "oyster shell martini" that featured gin, dry vermouth, riesling, oyster acid, & lemon oils. I loooove a savory, weird drink. I saw it & knew I needed to try it. Unfortunately, it was seriously imbalanced. It was wine heavy, with an extremely poisonous aftertaste that lingered forever & ever & ever. I would never order this again. I'm sure I'll be back in the future. Again, the ambience is unbeatable. It's a great place to take a date or a group of Star Wars lovers.

    Gift Horse was out of this world. The scallop roll was the standout. Sweet, smoky scallops in a…read moresoft buttery brioche bun, but somehow still bright and fresh. I could have eaten three of them. We also had the crudo trio, oysters, smoked fish dip and lamb burger and everything was excellent. The lamb burger was rich and flavorful but perfectly balanced by the sweet jam, soft squishy sesame bun and thin, crispy, craggly onion rings. The smoked fish dip came with crisp nori chips that were a little intense on their own for me, but perfect with a big scoop of the creamy, smoky dip. Loved trying the three different crudos and every oyster was delicious. We sat at the bar with a great view of the whole place, great music and attentive service. Too full for dessert unfortunately because everything looked amazing. Still thinking about that scallop roll.

The drinks came out quick and they were unique and delicious. We asked the waitress about the Yellowfin piri piri and found that there were two different sized orders. We opted for the larger portion. The tuna came sliced up on a platter with piri piri sauce and two Portuguese rolls. What a dish! The sauce and the tuna was so good we didn't leave a trace of anything on that silver platter. The Crudo was to die for! Fresh fish was amazing and the olive oil was so good it just brings it to the next level. We were were not hungry after these two dishes, but we had to try a dessert with the experience so far. We opted for the cinnamon bun ice cream sandwich. Although it was good, I expected better. The cinnamon bun was a bit dry. After the quality of the tuna and crudo, I was expecting a super soft bun with the a ton of icing dripping down. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit. I will be back again.
