    Cherry Bomb
    Jariah G.

    Love a night at Kimi's. The staff are always chill, the drinks are always fire, and the fire is always cozy! My weird obsession that they have the light switches over the booths on dimmers! Sometimes, you need a little extra light without harshing everyone else's vibe, y'know? Menu fave is the Brown Bird, their fantastic take on an espresso martini!

    A fabulous west end "watering hole". Super cool vibes, great drinks and awesome service. Never have I ever been disappointed. Looking for a great craft cocktail at a cool spot, this is it. Wanna sit outside by the fire pit sipping a good beer, this is also the spot. Come alone or bring friends, I promise you'll love it!

    We came here for a yelp event but I have to rate it separately because this spot is IT! It is dog friendly INSIDE year round, which is a huge selling point! I got their version of an espresso martini ("Brown Bird") and it was soooo good!! This was my second time being here and far from my last! Service was speedy and this is a place that is cool during the day AND at night.

    This is a great little craft cocktail bar. The drinks are unique and very good. We went in on a Wednesday night at 9PM and there was a steady crowd coming in, but not crowded at all. There was a dj playing music in the back and it was at just the right volume for the space so you could still hold a conversation. There was one bartender on at the time and he was able to hold the fort down with no problems. We ordered 3 different drinks and everyone of them was fantastic. All of them were price at $12: Angry Birdie, Cherry Bomb, and the Amaretto Sour. My personal favorite of the three was the Cherry Bomb. The bar itself doesn't have much parking, but their is a school lot across the street. I'm not sure if you are supposed to park there, but school was definitly not in session so we took advantage of the situation. Definitley worth a visit, I will be going back.

    Fantastic bar on the west side of Providence, walkable from Downtown, Federal Hill, and the West End. My favorite part of their drink menu is their cocktails, but they have a great beer selection and decent wine selection as well. Prices are very affordable, and the service has always been great. Most times I've gone it's been a chill spot, not too crowded with good music. This past weekend I went and it was packed. We figured we came during an event, and turns out it was Kimi's birthday! Even got a slice of birthday cake on the house, and had a great time even though we felt a bit like party crashers. Staff couldn't have been more friendly, though, and I'm looking forward to coming back again!

    Cocktails at Kimi's? Always delicious. Service? Super friendly and fun. Vibe? Immaculate. Kimi's is one of the newer players on the cocktail scene and they're serving up a fantastic rotating array of fresh, whimsical cocktails in the West End of PVD. It's also one of the extremely rare woman-owned and operated bars that exist in New England! (This is where I would insert a girl power emoji if Yelp allowed it, but alas!) Inside you can't help but fall in love with the variety of seating options. You can grab a spot at the bar or grab a pew (yes, an actual church pew!) in one of the many nooks along the side if you have a larger group or wanted a quieter spot. Fun little observation: if you grab a pew along the side, the tables have outlets! No more panicking in case your phone is about to die and you need an Uber home! Win for Kimi's when it comes to the little touches!

    New cocktail spot in Providence on Washington street. Nice ambiance, decor and lighting. There's only drinks here, no food. However there are a lot of good restaurants in the area. Got the angry birdie and hello darkness. Both were good. The angry birdie was a bit unusual as it's similar to an old fashioned except it's with tequila. Overall good experience. Good spot for large groups.

    Sultry, welcoming, fun Cocktails are mixed well and the staff makes for fun conversation on the slow nights - great if you're local or out of town.

    Beautiful bar!

    Huzzah for the west side bringing on more amazing establishments! Kimi's is a hip bar in a converted garage space. The flow of the indoor/outdoor seating as well as the overall aesthetic is to the nines. Trendy, but with a touch of grit to make it inviting to a variety of clientele, which did show in the eclectic crowd that was present. Birdie da bartender makes a mean martini btw. I am too excited that they get DJs on some weekend nights. I can't wait to check that out.

    I am glad to have Kimi's in my neighborhood. It's a unique spot where they can open up the large garage doors to have one vibe, or you can cozy up in a booth or at the bar for a different experience. Nice twists on classic cocktails. Sophisticated flavors without feeling pretentious. Some pricier drinks with top-shelf offerings with crafted flavors, but there is also a $7 margarita that's rimmed with black salt. They pair-up with local food trucks, as well. It's a good spot where you can have a conversation with friend without feeling like you are shouting over the music - or - you may make new friends at the bar as you discuss the cocktail offerings. The decor is just the right amount of cool & weird meets comfort. Easy walk to restaurants and breweries, so you can include Kimi's as the start, end, of focal point of your evening out.

    Kimi has opened a fabulous location on the WEST SIDE. There is patio seating and a cute bathroom. The grand opening is Saturday, July 9th at 5pm. There will be two DJs. Lots of beers and a full bar. You can park at the school department after 5pm. Go check it out!

So, I was understandably hesitant about a new bar moving into what was considered by many to be hallowed ground. Since I walk by it on my way home from work, I decided to stop in soon after it first opened to see what it was like. And now I am a regular and it's one of my favorite watering holes in the city. Super cool atmosphere, with tons of horror movie memorabilia on the walls. A couple of pinball machines ( including a brand new Evil Dead one which is really sweet), and neat liitle outback area for nicer days. They also occasionally have music and drag shows inside, and in the summer months cool shows outside in the parking lot next door. You can also grab a grilled cheese or a hot dog from Puggles Grilled Cheese most days of the week if you're feeling peckish. And my favorite thing... PICKLEBACKS.... !!!! All the drinks are cheap and they have a good selection of beers and ciders. Maybe most importantly, the owners Jeff and Courtney are absolutely lovely people who really understood keeping the locals vibe of the E & O era but also being it's own thing. Definitely support this great establishment.

Not the kind of place I really want to sit in and enjoy a cocktail. Dungeon like. The music is loud hip hop, not something I mind, but worth noting if thats not for you. I sat at the bar, and honestly didn't feel like it was super clean. I don't think the counter had been wiped down for a while. Staff were doing their best but seemed overwhelmed on a Saturday night. I was watching them make the cocktails and did not feel like it was very sanitary. They've got one small sink they're rinsing everything in, they were chucking stuff, literally chucking and slamming metal. They were dumping out people's drinks into the same side of the sink and then rinsing in the other side. But stuff was splashing into what should be the clean side. It's not a good setup for a cocktail bar. The cocktail menu had 8 drinks on it, 2 they were out of. Nothing had whiskey in it. I got a drink called Darjeeling something. Really didn't like it, didn't taste balanced and it looked different than someone else's who ordered the same thing, not sure if the bartender forgot an ingredient. The bartender also wasn't tasting the drinks which I usually see to ensure it was made correctly. This one had curry in it as a listed ingredient and it was just way too strong a flavor. It was a rum drink with some mezcal but it just tastes like mezcal and curry powder. The place was pretty busy but people were coming and going frequently. There's only one bathroom which really isn't enough for a bar. Seems like there's potential here but I didn't like the menu offerings and the sanitary concerns leave me with no desire to come back here.

A lovely woman in the restroom overheard my friend and I unsure on where to venture, and she suggested this place! Moody and welcoming. Absolutely loved it. We went in ~10:45 on a Wednesday pm. Apparently they do live jazz weekly as well, but we'd come too late. A handful of bar patrons, a couple making out in the back of the dining room at their cute table, a lovely bartender, me& my bff. We really hit the jackpot for ambiance last night. Decor in there is so cute. I wish I took a picture of the table lamp on the bar. It was embellished with beads hanging on the rim of the shade. Our drinks were top notch. Mine was a citrus vanilla profile and hers was a savory martini. The sandwich, I had one bite of it was yummy. I don't like imitation lunch meats though. CATFISH was breaded and fried fabulously. Not oily. Crispy and crunchy. So happy to have discovered this place! The bartender told us they just celebrated 6 years of business!

They also had live music, and that was honestly the highlight of the night, it was amazing and added so much to the overall vibe.

This is definitely the kind of place you come to for the drinks, the live music, and the atmosphere more than the food. If you're looking for a spot with great vibes and a fun, lively energy, this is it.
