    Drinks are amazing; music, crowd, ambiance, and service are just exceptional…read more The winter gimlet is one of the best cocktails I've ever had. I continue (& will continue) to come back here specifically for this drink!!

    Interesting cocktail bar that under delivered. The place definitely doesn't have a warm inviting…read morevibe, it's cold and dark. Really could use better lighting and aesthetics. 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.

    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.

    Fun little neighborhood hole in the wall. Mostly locals and regulars. Decent prices, nice…read moreatmosphere/vibe. Good seating area on the back patio for fresh air (or smoking, haha). I used to come here back in the day when it was e&o- i feel like they've kept their charm- great bartenders and good drinks!

    I have been here a couple of times. Most recently, I threw an event here with attorneys and law…read morestudents. The program went great, and everyone loved the venue! We ended up having a last-minute venue change to Ladder, and I am so happy that the prior venue fell through. I worked directly with the owner, who was awesome! He was able to work with what we wanted/needed to be covid friendly during an event, and he was always accessible. I had preselected appetizers for everyone, and I did drink tickets. We ended up taking The Jake lounge, which worked out perfect for us. We had our own bathrooms and had our own bartender and servers. Highly recommend it if you are throwing an event!

    I recently hosted a baby shower at the Jake and wanted to tell anyone planning on hosting an event…read morethat The Jake is the perfect venue! The venue itself is perfect for a fun and relaxed event. The room was spotless and the staff was extremely accommodating to any requests from myself or my guests! As for the food! Delicious, pipping hot and beautifully presented! The gourmet pizza appetizers were amazing and set upon in an attractive station presentation. The buffet was perfect.... We are a family of foodies and all agreed that the Chicken Francaise was delectable! Penne pink vodka would rival any of your well known Italian restaurants! Everyone remarked on the fabulous food! I am sure that this is the best event venue in Rhode Island by far. Do not hesitate to book your next party at The Jake! You and your guests will be thrilled!
