The area is a bit cramped, unfortunately. It felt a bit clausty. The floors, tables, & menus were sticky, too.

The ambience: The bar area can be loud and boisterous so you have to be in the mood for that vibe. That being said, it's fun and welcoming with great service. The food and drinks: Their specialty cocktails are strong, taste good and are affordably priced. I had a cherry one (can't remember the name) but it was flavorful and not too sweet. They also have a large selection of beers both on tap and in cans. The shrimp Poboy is absolutely huge and stuffed with well seasoned fried shrimp and the accompanying sweet potato fries were crispy and delicious. We ordered a greek salad to go and it was a generous portion covered with kalamata olives, feta cheese and picked vegetables. My only tip would be to have them put toppings on the side next time to keep the lettuce crispy. Otherwise a very satisfying salad! We tried to order the fish sandwich but both times they have been sold out so I guess it must be good! Definitely plan to go back to try more menu items and cocktails!

My thoughts on the food: it's alright!! I enjoyed my drink, which was one of the Super Bowl…read morespecials. I also liked the wings, we tried garlic Parmesan, buffalo, and Thai chili I believe. They were my favorite part. We also ordered the buffalo chicken pizza, which in my opinion was very bleu cheesey, but I also do not have much experience with buffalo chicken pizza. My concern was that the crust was really thin and just not that great, but still had a couple slices. The buffalo sauce was good for sure. We also had the cookie skillet for dessert which was very ooey gooey but perhaps a little too sweet. You may be thinking, "well yeah of course it's sweet, it's a cookie skillet," but it was an over powering sweetness. But it was a really good portion for sharing with my group of three! The vibe here was pretty nice, the old-firehouse-turned-bar is cool and the decor matches the aesthetic well. There are booths in little nooks and others out in the open and I like the variability. They also have a privateish area for private events. Theres even a parking lot! The service was also good, I was there for their Super Bowl watch party, and while it wasn't insanely busy, the servers were very attentive. As I said, I came here for the Super Bowl with some friends. They had raffles going, a DJ, plenty of TVs showing the game, some free swag, and a special menu. It was nice! They had a special drink menu, although it did advertise deals on food which ended up not being true. I had fun watching the game here, and while the place wasn't packed, most of the other spectators were from the local colleges... they were rather annoying, especially by the end of the night. Different groups were arguing with each other by the end, and one kid swore at the DJ for drawing a raffle winner that wasn't one of the college kids. The kids were leaving so the staff didn't need to intervene I'd say. But it brought us non-college student patrons together. Ah, the game day spirit! So if you're looking for a mature crowd, this may not be the place!

You know those spots that make you wonder if anyone in the kitchen has tasted their own food…read morebefore? Ladder 133 is that kind of beautiful disappointment - a place where the bones of something great are buried under the mediocrity of execution. The building itself, a converted Providence firehouse, practically begs you to love it. Red brick exterior, high ceilings, industrial charm that whispers stories of brass poles and midnight alarms. The kind of place that should be serving food as honest as the first responders who once called it home. Instead, what you get is a study in missed opportunities. Take the pizza - please. In a city that practically invented the art of turning basic ingredients into something transcendent, what arrives is a sad testament to lowered expectations. The crust has that unmistakable character of something that's seen the inside of a freezer, though someone's at least tried to jazz it up with some grill marks. The sauce tastes like it's trying to remember what tomatoes were like in a past life, and the cheese... well, calling it forgettable would require remembering it was there in the first place. The bathroom walls tell their own story - the kind of graffiti that speaks less to youthful rebellion and more to management's casual relationship with giving a shit. It's the little things that tell you everything in a restaurant, and unattended bathroom graffiti screams volumes about attention to detail. Yet somehow, like a random act of culinary kindness, they manage to nail the chicken parm sliders. Decent chunks of tender chicken, nestled in pillowy Hawaiian rolls, actually dressed with sauce and cheese that remember their purpose in life. It's like stumbling across a coherent paragraph in a book full of gibberish. The cookie skillet dessert arrives like a cruel joke - burnt to carbon on the outside while maintaining a center so raw it could probably evolve into sentient life if given enough time. It's the kind of dish that makes you wonder if the oven's temperature settings are more suggestion than rule. But here's the thing - the bartender actually did a great job. Quick with refills, genuine smile, the kind of service that makes you want to like the place more than the food allows. It's reasonably priced too, though that feels less like value and more like an apology. Providence has real culinary chops, Ladder 133 is what happens when potential jumps towards the pole and face-plants. Sure, come for a game, throw down a few beers, maybe grab those surprisingly decent sliders. But for the love of all things holy and Rhode Island, get your pizza somewhere else. This is the kind of place that reminds you why the phrase "sports bar food" often comes with built-in expectations of disappointment. At least the building's still cool.

Thank you fellow Yelpers to letting me know about the parking lot off of Fiore street! Otherwise,…read moreit's such a sketch area so you'll feel great knowing your car is in this very enclosed (and super tight) parking lot. I went on a Thursday evening and it was not busy at all. We chose to sit outside on the patio, which was mostly fine. There were a few pesky flies and lots of sirens, but it wasn't a terrible experience out there. I ordered a lemon cheesecake martini, which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend! I later ordered the chocolate covered strawberry martini which was also very good. I think these are seasonal, so get it while it lasts! Oh, and I tried a sip of the espresso martini and I thought it was great, and usually I don't like those. For food, I ordered the fig and prosciutto pizza. Wow! When they brought it out we were shocked, it was huge! And it was a deep dish pizza, which was a pleasant surprise. It was delicious. A lot of menu options sounded great though. Afterward, we wanted to check out their speakeasy but it was closed. I'm assuming that's a weekend feature. We sat at the bar instead, and the nighttime ambiance and inside decor was trendy and pleasant. They also had one bathroom (at least that I saw) which was also well decorated and clean. This is a pretty nice spot overall for a night out with friends or for a date. They even followed up with an email since we made a reservation. Check it out!

We started with the French Onion Soup, which was everything you want it to be: hot, rich, oozy, comforting & incredibly satisfying. Definitely a delicious start to the meal! I was not super hungry so I opted for the Reuben Egg Rolls appetizer as my main course & I am so glad I did! These golden-brown beauties are filled with corned beef, Swiss cheese & sauerkraut, then served with Thousand Island dressing for dipping. Basically, all the wonderful flavors of a Reuben wrapped up in crispy, bite-sized perfection! Hubby went with the Chicken Caesar Wrap, featuring grilled chicken, crisp romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing & shaved Parmesan cheese tucked into a soft white wrap. We opted to upgrade to tater tots which made a hearty & satisfying dish. Sometimes the best evenings are simply good food, good company & a comfortable neighborhood spot... O'Rourke's delivered on all counts! Highly recommend. NOM NOM NOM #YUM

It was spitting rain that evening so we ate inside, but I imagine the outdoor seating would be even better on a nice night. A musical duo (guitar and piano) was playing a set of light 80s hits, and it was the perfect background for dinner -- everyone in the place seemed to be enjoying it. For food, we went with the blackened cod over mashed potatoes and broccoli, plus a burger with fries. Both were delicious. Service was quick and attentive the whole night. Great views, great music, great food -- highly recommend for a casual night out on the water.

We have been meaning to try this place before going to the theater, which we finally did. As we…read morewere going to share appetizers we were seated in the bar area. The more formal dining area is in a separate space. The place has a conservative old fashioned vibe with dark paneling, well spaced seating with comfortable chairs (a plus indeed!) and although full allowed for easy conversation (another plus). Our server, Jodie, was cheerful, attentive and efficient. The piano player starts later which on this occasion suited us fine. We ordered drinks to start with: a Hakuna Mojito (in recognition of the Lion King where we were headed to next) for my wife and a glass of Pinot Noir from Elkton Oregon - all which suited both of us. We also had a large bottle of Pellegrino to wash it all down. A delicious Burrata, bacon wrapped scallops, well done crispy fries done just right, and a dish of Rabe and White Beans. The last is something that I would not have ordered but we decided to try it - I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by it. A dish worth having. I had to end up with a decent espresso. The check came to $122, paying with a credit card for the two of us, a little more than I expected but well worth it. We left our server a tip of some 24%. The meal and food might be worth five stars. We will see how it goes for subsequent visits. The restaurant is now on our radar and we will be back and also recommend it to friends.
