Came for the girl dinner and love island watch party. Loved the idea, some of the seating (specifically where we sat) was not ideal, and trying to sync up that many tv's is tough. Our server was so pleasant & very attentive. The sliders were seasoned well, the Alfredo was good, but could've used maybe some pepper, also could be personal preference. Loved the French 75 martini, very summer! This place is located in the bottom floor of the building, and I don't think that there is an elevator, at least I didn't see one. Parking is paid street parking, or there are parking garages. We will be back.
Loveeeee needle and thread!! A cozy little dark speakeasy vibes with great music and great drinks. Service is usually on point but if it's late and busy you will wait for your drink! They offer food as well if you get there before 10. I'll have to try that out but great spot for a fun girls night!
Came for the Valentine's menu with my wife on a whim while looking for places that advertised as having a speakeasy sort of vibe. Roast chicken was absolutely delicious! Good pick of oysters, chocolate mousse cake also very good. Really cozy atmosphere, I like that it's in a basement. Minor critiques: $12 was a little crazy for how tiny a piece of cake we got, but prices otherwise were fine. It's louder than a speakeasy place would typically be and other reviews tell me that wasn't a one-off but not a big deal. Their website does make a bit of a to-do about "proper dress" so we rolled in probably more than a little overdressed - don't take that too much to heart if you're looking into the place. Overall a nice spot!
The speakeasy can be found in the midst of a bustling area drawing in crowds of people at local bars. Needle & Thread gave exactly what it needed to with the kind of music that makes the ladies want to get up from their seats and dance. Loved the entree, it felt warm and cozy on a breezy summer night after a long day of fun filled activities. The asparagus was a bit overcooked and thin for my liking, so I would recommend fiber maxing with a side of veggies. This is the perfect spot for date nights, solo diners, and GNOs.
My wife and I tried Needle and Thread before PPAC this past week. We had a very good experience. The interior is nicely laid out with a small bar and a large seating area on the right. We sat at the bar. We got there at 5 PM, so they were still busy getting everything ready. It took a few minutes to get served and a few more to actually get the drinks. Everything in terms of service got a lot better as the night progressed. Our server at the bar took very good care of us after things settled. We started with some drinks. My wife had the Base Stitch, and I had a Manhattan. Both were made well and were very well balanced. We ordered the calamari to start. It turned out it was half price due to the happy hour. The calamari was nice and crisp, not oily, and very flavorful. Our second round of drinks was Old Fashions, and were excellent. I ordered the Eddy's Better Half for dinner, and my wife ordered the Lomo Saltado. Against my better judgment, I ordered the fries as well. Way too much food, but I am a closet French Fry junkie, and these were on the money. My chicken was small but very flavorful. My wife's dish was a big hit as well. Food was great. Our server got us a "on the house" dessert to make up for the first drink wait. We will be back for sure.
Needle & Thread has been on my list of "must try" places for awhile, and we finally made it there for dinner over the weekend. We made a reservation and arrived at 6pm and there was only one other party seated in the restaurant. It did fill up later on. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, with enough of a hum to be comfortable. Our server was very friendly, brought us water, and took our drink orders, but then we sat, and sat, and sat for about 20 minutes before our drinks arrived. My husband's beer was good, my cocktail "Ripped Seams" was delicious, but my friend's cocktail "Sundress by the Campfire" arrived with the glass just half full. For $15, at least fill the glass, please. Our food orders were eventually taken and we ordered the nachos with beef, the rib eye steak tacos, and the Royale with cheese. My oh, my! All of the food was absolutely delicious! I would order each of these items again in a heartbeat. Prices were very fair and portions were good. While we were eating, our server was overly anxious to clear our plates. She came by 3+ times and asked if she could take dishes and glasses that we were still enjoying. This was pretty annoying and also gave us the feeling that we were being rushed out. So, I would give the service at Needle & Thread a 2, and the food a 5. I guess that averages out to a 3? I might come back since the food was so good, and maybe next time we'll have better luck with the service.
My friend and I have been wanting to go to Needle & Thread for a long time now so we were so glad we finally made it! Needle & Thread is located on Peck St. Metered street parking is available. When you open the door to Needle & Thread and wind down the stairs, you are transported into an underground world that is a classic speakeasy style cocktail bar and restaurant. The underground nature of the bar gives it an alluring atmosphere where people can have a romantic night out or share a private conversation with friends since there are several nooks where you can score some seclusion. My friend and I chose a couch. During the time we were there on a Thursday night, only a few people were at the bar and two tables were occupied. The menu can be accessed by scanning the QR code found on the table. The menu consists of cocktails, tiny plates, snacks, and even entrees. On Thursdays and Fridays from 5pm to 7pm, there is "Appy" Hour where appetizers are half off. My friend and I ordered the seasoned fries for $5 and Rhode Island calamari for $9. The fries and calamari were crispy and the sauce was very good. The portions were a good size too. For drinks, we had Passion For Days Spritz and Harvest Margarita. The Passion For Days Spritz had passion fruit juice, aperol, prosecco, and club soda. This drink was delicious and it was very smooth. The Harvest Margarita had Mi Campo Blanco Tequila, apple cider, triple sec, and lemon. This was stronger than the Passion For Days Spritz, but still very good. I feel like I could drink many Passion For Days Spritz. Service was wonderful. Nicole was our server and she was very attentive. Needle & Thread wasn't too crowded for a Thursday night and it was quiet enough for my friend and I to have a conversation. My friend and I had a wonderful time. I can't wait to come back to Needle & Thread!
I'd definitely come back to Needle & Thread the next time I'm in Rhode Island. It seems like a popular spot for both drinks and food. The drinks were great, and the waiter was incredibly kind, she even adjusted my drink when it came out a bit too spicy, which I really appreciated. The calamari was a little on the salty side, but still tasty overall. I had a great time here, it was great vibe and would absolutely return!
My friend and I visited Needle and Thread during happy hour (Thursday and Friday from 5-7 PM), and it had such a nice vibe! We ordered the French fries and calamari both were great. For drinks, I got the Passion Fruit for Days Spritz, which was delicious and a little dangerous because it tasted just like juice! Our waiter was super nice and checked in on us often, making sure we were all set. I also loved the variety of seating you can sit at the bar, in a booth, at a high table, or even in a cozy nook if you want a bit more privacy. Definitely a great spot to unwind and grab a drink!
Our server tried really hard but she couldn't overcome her lousy co-workers who hung at the bar with their friends who took up most of the bar seats, then they kept doing shots together instead of paying attention to the customers. We came here based on the article in Providence magazine. It was a total disappointment. The charcuterie board was fine but nothing special, the Greek chicken tacos were neither Greek nor tasty, and the chicken empanadas were ok but bland. The cocktails were excellent but that was the only thing I'd recommend here. Definitely do not get the tacos. They come in a double taco shell that was barely fried, so they were soggy and greasy instead of crisp. The chicken was bland and nothing at all was Greek. They used sour cream and cheddar cheese instead of the tzatziki and feta cheese the menu claimed. Total miss.
I hadn't been here in a few years, so my friends and I decided to go here for drinks and dinner to catch up around the holidays. Since my last visit, they had changed around their dinner menu a bit, and it was great. I had a Caesar salad with blackened chicken, which was very yummy, as well as some fabulous french fries. The fries were seasoned in a way that they tasted like BBQ potato chips (yum!), and were great paired with the mayo (as recommended by our amazing waitress). If just going for drinks, you cannot go wrong with any of the espresso martinis. Paired with the dark wood and velvet decor, it is the perfect location for a date, drinks with friends, etc. Coupled with the great service, I would definitely go again.
Had a girls night tonight and always looking for a fun place with nice fun cocktails! We came here packed but they accommodated us and grabbed another stool for the bar. CJ the bartender was AMAZING! He was attentive to us having water and made sure once drinks were done asked what we might like next and made some amazing suggestions! I had - Velvet Noir which tasted like a liquid chocolate covered strawberry - Sundress By Campfire which is great and light gin drink! - Fruta Y Fuego which was a nice spicy kick
Looking for a speakeasy with good drinks while in Providence for the weekend for my brother's wedding. I came across Needle & Thread and it did not disappoint! First off, I had a reservation for a party of 5. We were running late and when I called to inform them, they were super accommodating and sat us as soon as we arrived. To sip, I had the Father's Old Fashioned which was a play on your standard old fashion with chocolate bitters and espresso. It was so good! Needle & Thread was an unexpected vibe. They played mostly R&B, hip-hop and some Afrobeats. After 11, a DJ came through and it got packed pretty quickly. When in Providence again, this would definitely be a spot I'd come to again.

The ambiance is very romantic. The service was very chill. The drink and appetizer we got was a perfect combo :) read more
After my wife and I caught an up-and-coming comedian at a local Providence comedy club, we were looking for a good cocktail and maybe a small bite to eat. A quick Yelp search brought us to Needle & Thread. I was lucky enough to snag a parking spot right across the street. Once we walked inside, we discovered a stairway leading downstairs to a pretty hip spot. Customers were sippin' cocktails, good music was playing and the place had a cool energy. Needle & Thread was giving off some seriously infectious vibes. Listen, its late but I can eat. I ordered the Royale With Cheese burger. An 8oz Angus Beef Patty topped with N&T's Famous Fugazi Sauce. Fugazi Sauce?? I don't want a tofu sauce, no tricks from the kitchen please. We both started with Perfect Dark Espresso Martini. Made with 360 Madagascar Vanilla vodka, coffee liqueur, Frangelico and espresso. A perfect late night sipper. It's getting late, the Royale With Cheese burger finally comes to the table. I think I'm a Fugazi fan. Good late night burger, I liked the sauce. Needle & Thread, nice vibe and good cocktails. I give this place (4) Yelp stars. Keep rockin'! read more

Needle and Thread is such a cool little spot with great speakeasy vibes, friendly service, and food that seriously delivers. The Loose Button Sandwich was total perfection. The seasoned fries were crispy, golden, and sprinkled with this light BBQ-ish magic dust. They were addictive in the best way. If you're looking for a fun place to eat where the food actually lives up to the hype, this is it. read more

Oh my goodness! We arrived relatively early and were the first to sit at the bar. Located down a flight of stairs, a hostess will seat you at a table, or seat yourself at the bar. Two gender neutral restrooms are behind the hostess stand. A small group of tables is tucked in a square area to the right as you enter and a bar that seats about 8 (I didn't count them)) is straight ahead. Because we were there before the crowds, we had the staff 'to ourselves' so to speak and we had a roaring good time with them. Their cocktail menu is so interesting. I want to try them all. We asked who their mixologist is and was told they all make suggestions and work together to craft the perfect cocktail. After sampling my beverage, I can say very well done. I chose the 'Inseam', a mix of bourbon, vanilla infused Aperol and a spritz of absinthe. So much happening in this cocktail. So many layers, start, middle, finish. It was an excellent first choice for me. As we literally came in for 'a' drink, we left just as the crowds were picking up and our new bartender friends were getting super busy. We will be back. read more
Let me first say the ambiance here is unique and relaxed with a cozy, moody industrial feel. Our server was helpful with cocktail and appetizer suggestions, she was busy but still attentive. My partner ordered the Ginger Pear Sidecar and I ordered the Fruta Y Fuego, both had a good balance of alcohol to mixers and both were really good, see pictures for cocktail envy! We just stopped by for drinks but plan on returning to try the Local Mushroom Ramen, Poke Tacos and Cortland Crumble which sounds like a spin on an apple crumble. We did share the asparagus fries which were crispy, salty and delicious. I don't see them on the menu anymore, unfortunately. With an interesting looking menu, it looks to be a good spot for a delicious meal, comfy lounge and listen to live music. read more

I had a great experience at Needle & Thread recently and definitely plan to return! The staff were all extremely pleasant and friendly, the ambiance is super cool, and the drinks are really excellent! A colleague and I came here for dinner and drinks and had a really nice time. The only reason I have 4 stars instead of 5 was that I tried a couple of the new menu items and honestly through they could do with a bit more finesse (maybe this is already in the works). I had tried the shakshuka appetizer which was advertised as having poached eggs. The eggs seemed more like they were baked into the sauce and they were rock solid. No runny yolk. That was disappointing, although the other flavors were very good. I also tried the corn pasta which was very tasty but borderline salty. I still enjoyed it otherwise. I would still return for sure though and try some other menu items and definitely more of the drinks. read more

People told me to check N&T out. But I did not heed their orders until one Friday night when my fiancé and I visited. She ordered the Melon Sour and I had a Vieux Carré. We both loved our drinks. Our waitress was super kind and welcoming, but the greatest highlight of our time at N&T was the music! Soulful R&B played from the moment we walked in the door around 11p until we left. The vibes was superb: low lights, aesthetically pleasing, cool people, and lowkey. I would certainly revisit N&T with some friends, but it has taken the trophy as our new late night, date night spot. I thoroughly enjoyed this place and look forward to going back. Do yourself a favor and go and check this place out!!! read more
I really like this place, nice atmosphere and good music. However tonight I was highly disappointed on leaving and realizing I got over charged. Yes, I should have looked at my receipt before leaving/paying but I was in a rush to go home, so i handed them my card in advance. Once I looked at home, I notice I was charged for a drink I never had. To be sure, I asked for disaronno and they didn't have it but yet the drink was on my receipt. If you are not going to provide me with the drink then don't charge me for it. Yeah I'm a bit tick off about that but who wouldn't especially after leaving a nice tip because the waiter was super nice. Would I come back? Yea due to the lack of r&b spots in RI but please make sure to either not charge your guests for imaginary drinks and also I guess on my end not rush and look at the entirety of the receipt. read more

Stopped by Needle & Thread during the block party for a drink and a snack. The cocktail menu is limited but we both loved our drinks! Since it was the block party, the kitchen ended up being closed but they were selling wings and fries outside which was perfect. The fries were super well seasoned, just wish they had a sauce! read more
Awesome space with vintage, cozy lounge details. Service and staff were really nice. Unfortunately, we really did not enjoy our food. We ordered the mushroom ramen and fried chicken sandwich. The ramen had virtually no flavor and was lacking salt. At least they used the right kind of noodles and the egg was cooked to a perfect jammy consistency. However, there was just no umami, savoriness, or aroma. The chicken sandwich was dry and flavorless. The brioche bun they used was good, but was also BURNT from over-toasting it. The chicken was very thin and not juicy at all. We also found the portions pretty small and were still hungry after! This never happens to us and it's usually the other way around. We ordered The Pincushion (mezcal based) and it was okay, could have been more brighter or more flavorful. read more
