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...

So if you have lived on the west side of Providence for a while, you surely are aware of the legend…read morethat was the E & O . 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.

Western Stars, with top-notch musicians, was playing when I was there. There was no cover charge, but they did pass the hat. I love the fact that they have live music at 6PM on a Friday night. It's not surprising that it was a relatively older crowd, with some great dancers who were really fun to watch. Street parking only, which makes it a little difficult when there are piles of snow.

Gotta love this unpretentious local spot to see live music. I've seen a lot of bands here but my…read morefavorite was a Vapors of Morphine show. It's rarely crowded so you can almost always have a good view of the stage. Friendly, chill vibes and a decent selection of beers. They used to serve food but I don't think they do anymore so get a bite to eat somewhere beforehand.

The best burgers and house cute fries can be found at boundary in Pawtucket. The Abbies didn't even compare. Good old school music playing. Overall cool atmosphere and decent food for a little divey bar in Prov. Prices were reasonable.
