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.
Sultry luxurious vibe, truly spectacular food, and interesting craft cocktails...what more could you want for a night out? Perfect for celebrations or an excuse to dress up. Music gets very loud around 9pm, so probably not a great date spot if you want to talk. Really steep staircase at the entrance with no obvious elevator, so it doesn't seem to be handicap accessible and maybe don't wear your highest heels. read more

Super cozy and great atmosphere. My friend and I popped in here while on a night out and we sat at the bar. The bartenders and all of the servers were extremely nice. Our drinks were very good and the fries we shared were also delicious. read more
We came here for drinks and it had the perfect vibes! It definitely feels like a cool little speakeasy. The drinks were strong so you definitely get your money's worth! The service was amazing as well. There's a DJ that comes as well so it gives the place a cool lounge vibe that you can enjoy on the weekend. Would definitely return to this place and try out a few more things! read more

Visited twice in the past couple months! Once just for drinks and another for dinner, and had a great experience both times. I ordered the rice bowl with shrimp to eat and my husband had the burger- everything was really great. Cocktails were the best part! We tried so many different drinks on the menu, a lot of unique options. And the decor is also really great, with a fun entrance! Definitely recommend the visit read more

WOW! Stopped by here during Waterfire for a cocktail with friends and I am so glad we did. The space is so cool. It is called Needle & Thread because it is in a space that was formerly used by a local Tailor shop hence needle & thread. As you enter, you immediately head down a spiral staircase which brings you to a large bar area with a dining room to the right. The place is warm, cozy and has a speakeasy vibe to it. From velvet curtains to exposed brick to the swanky drinks they serve. I got the Tequila Jam Tequila, Lime, Apricot Raspberry Jam OH MY GOD. This might be the best cocktail I have had in quite some time. It was so good that I ended up ordering a second before we continued on with our exploration of downtown PVD. The staff was incredible and we definitely enjoyed our visit. I am looking forward to heading back soon to try their food and let's be honest, to order another tequila Jam cocktail. read more

Came here last night for some late night cocktails. A very low key spot perfect for a date night. The music was good. Our bartender was so nice and knew her way around a cocktail. We tried a few different cocktails and each one was delicious. I loved this little hidden spot. read more

Had a really good time! The food was amazing! The drinks were amazing! The ambiance is amazing! The music is a little loud especially during dinner. Servers are friendly, there were a couple miscommunications with the order but that might be because of the volume of the music lol. read more

This place has great atmosphere, however the pricing of the drinks were unacceptable given the cheap presentation of them. A $19.36 espresso martini is very expensive...especially considering it was in a plastic cup!!! The wine in a plastic cup was also $17. For that pricing, the drinks should at the very least be served in proper glassware. read more

Sexy speakeasy vibe. Not going to lie, I had a hard time opening the door. If you weren't looking for it you would miss it. The bar is downstairs, dark and sexy. We stopped in for a drink before dinner down the street. We sat at the bar and Maya was WONDERFUL! She recommended some drinks and was very kind and attentive. read more

Stop scrolling. Put down your phone. Stop asking your significant other what their in the mood for- I'm telling you they are in the mood for this place but don't know it. I'm here on a Wednesday night and if mid-week is this amazing, I can't even imagine and ate night here. This is a MUST go to destination!! It's all about the relaxing vibe and large single large ice cube for me. read more

Needle & Thread is the perfect speakeasy cocktail lounge that I've been searching for right in downtown Providence! The vibes and atmosphere are amazing and they have some of my favorite cocktails that I've had in RI! The antipasto martini (vodka, cherry pepper, dill, and Italian pickled peppers) spoke to me because my drink of choice is a dirty martini. My other favorite is the fruta y fuego which was full of chili infused tequila, guava, lime, and chili salt. We have been here numerous times, including my wedding weekend when a large group of friends (24 people), and we have always been given awesome customer service no matter the size of our group. Love this place and it is most definitely a must for a date night downtown. read more

Our experience here was great. Being from NY there are quite a few speak easy places to visit so we had to see what this one was like. When we arrived the owner was in the front of the establishment greeting the guests. I love when the owner get involved. It's always a nice touch. The drinks are delicious. We tried the Spiced Pear Side car, Broken Dollie and stoned fruit. They were all well made. We started with Apps. Local Oyster with Mignonette, cocktail sauce & horseradish was my favorite of the oysters. A must try. Warm Green Goddess Oyster is more traditional with Melted herb butter compote, charred lemon & sea salt. Tiny Tacos with Sushi tuna, marinated onions, mint, ocean ranch sauce & crispy wonton shell were out of this world. Peck Street Corn with Roasted corn on the cob, popcorn butter, togarashi spice, cotija cheese & lime. Who doesn't love a Mexican street corn. One of the best I've tried. Caesar Salad with chicken with Crisp Romaine, shaved reggiano, roasted lemon, cracked pepper & classic dressing was very good. Fresh and the chicken was grilled perfectly. Very flavorful and that roasted lemon. Yum Charcuterie consists of Spicy soppressata, sweet salmi, sliced prosciutto, aged cheddar, provolone and parmesan, tomato jam, apricot mustard, mixed nuts and stone fruit, whole grain crackers which we adored. The cheeses were fresh and the meats were perfect for paring with the other items on the board. One adjustment I would make would be to slice the meats thinner. Brings out the flavor more but it's well worth getting no matter what. Entrees we did..... Fettuccini With Clams with Hand made fettuccine pasta, spicy sopressata, charred broccoli rabe, heirloom tomatoes, white wine, beurre monte. Arugula pesto smothered crostini. This dish was really good with absolutely no complaints. Nice size clams with a generous amount in the dish. Would recommend trying. N&T Rice Bowl with Tuna with Cucumber kimchi, cilantro, pickled jicama & carrot, seaweed, black sesame, wonton crunchies, lime-soy vinaigrette & spicy mayo. You can add shrimp, chicken, tuna, vegan tar tar or vegan scallops as an option. My friend loved this dish. Royale With Cheese is a Double- quarter pound patties, sharp cheddar, caramelized onion, pickles, fugazzi sauce, brioche bun & Zapp's chips. Let me begin to say. I LOVE ZAPP's. There original from Louisiana and becoming more and more easy to find outside of Louisiana. Great touch instead of plain old fries. VooDoo heat is my fav. So with this being said I hope you have a great experience as I did with my two friends. Everyone is very friendly and the whole establishment is clean and cozy with that prohibition vibe. Who can ask for anything more. Will definitely be raving about this place to my friends in NY. Thank you again. PS. I should have taken more pics but I was so busy eating. Lol. read more
