Mezcal margarita
Taylor S.

My friend and I went to Red Door recently. She is doing RI Food Fights best of sandwiches so I tagged along. Her burger looked good (not pictured) and seemed very flavorful. The sweet potato tots were delicious and I enjoyed the red fries. I had the mezze plate as my main and the hummus, tabouli, and falafel were good. Not the best falafel I have ever had but I enjoyed it. Drinks were good and service was great. Our waiter's name was Dylan and he was great with offering suggestions and laughing with us. We also ate the crème brûlée for dessert which was great. We went for happy hour so it was super adorable. When I got home though, I was sooooo thirsty. I think the fries were really salty or something else I ate was? Definitely would go back.

Had a great time! Sat at the bar, it felt cozy on a cold winter night. Drinks were delicious. Poutine hit the spot. (I still miss red fez poutine but this is the best I've found since they closed). The sliders I got were great - I took most of it home and it was even better an hour later on my couch. I was surprised it wasn't more crowded (it was a few weeks back on a Friday night) but it did get a bit busier as the night went on. We were well taken care of. Would go again. Sometimes I need nights like this to remind myself I do like going out lol

Cheesy beef

RI Food Fight Tacos review: 4 couples dumped into Red Door on a Saturday night around 8:30 with taco coupons. Luckily 2 tables in a corner sat us perfectly! Great for conversations. Nice staff and loved serving the check in a random book I can share, the menu isn't Mexican but they did have AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS cheesy beef tacos! Super flavorful! I keep thinking about them... like that delicious.

Happy hour heaven

This spot was such a good find! I came here for best taco RI and wow! The tacos were far better than i expected---they were actually my favorite on the list! I also got happy hour tots that were soooo yummy! The drink special the amazing bartender, Dyani! It was a really great experience and I'll def be back to this adorable little providence location!

Very cool spot, great music, great bar feel, love the room! I did order food, did the veggies burger sliders and will say other than being very messy they were delicious ! place was a little loud but the music was good! I did an espresso martini which was very good. Very well made, she took her time, a little freshly ground nutmeg on top! Loved it! Great experience ..I would bring a date here, if I was from here, or had that special someone with me! Try it, dig the spot! KT

sweet heat chicken bites, lemon pepper chicken bites and garlic parmesan truffle fries
Rebecca B.

Very intimate bar - I came with a group of friends for a birthday and we sat in a round, couch arrangement so we could all face each other. Each cocktail we ordered was good - especially the Firebird and the Lost Tropics. They also have several options for shareable bites. My friends really liked the parmesan truffle fries and lemon pepper bites. Friendly staff. Would definitely come back for another drink. It is located in the middle of downtown so parking is kind of tough, but definitely worth checking out!

Mini-Macs
Cara P.

I visited The Red Door with my husband as part of the RI Food Fights Big Burger Blowout event, and I am glad to say that we found a little gem in PVD! The Red Door is a small speakeasy spot nestled in downtown Providence. It's dark and intimate inside with a mix of seating including booth, bar, and hightop. We were there on a Wednesday night, so it wasn't super busy. With our burger coupons, we each got to pick an order of sliders from their menu. We also ordered the Chicken Satay and the happy hour Eggs Possessed. The sliders came 2 in an order and, wow, they were so good! First of all, the portion was very generous for sliders. There was a bigger patty in 1 slider than we've had in some full size burgers. I had the Mini-Macs which were smash patties topped with American cheese, white onion, pickles, shredded lettuce, and house made Mac sauce. The flavors melted in mouth in the most delicious way, the beef was cooked really nicely, and that sauce was special; I loved them! The Eggs Possessed (deviled eggs) were amazing! Best I've ever had. The egg white was still tender and the filling was so creamy with a little kick to it. The chicken satay was also really, really tasty. Great mix of textures going on in the plate and the sauce was wonderful and had a nice heat level. Our waitress, who was also working the bar, was so nice and inviting. I made a point to tell her that it was our first visit and how impressed we were with the food. She was excited to hear our thoughts and was in total agreement about their delicious dishes. I loved everything we had at The Red Door! Prior to this visit, I had no idea this restaurant existed. But, it was happy discovery as I'd love to go back for a date or girls night. If you're looking for this kind of vibe, but are also a foodie, then I highly recommend it!

Coconut Shrimp Tacos
Meesh U.

Walking in the door here brought back such a rush of memories from so long ago... So many nights, huddled in a corner of this packed space, with a group of friends, yelling to one another over the crowd while slurping delicious noodles. Ah.... those were the days! Tonight everything is different - in a good way. The softly lit space has been reconfigured and is simplified - less cluttered, less crowded. On a slow week night, just a few couples are scattered around, sipping craft cocktails and quietly chatting. An apropos eclectic soundtrack of downtempo music helps set the mood. The friendly & super efficient bartender effortlessly flits between crafting drinks to serving tables - alone on the floor tonight & handing it very well. She even seems to make time to chat with everyone. We even end up eventually showing off our newly acquired comet pics taken on the way that evening. But - we're there to try the tacos as part of the RI Food Fights Tacomania competition tonight and we're glad we do! We order a pair of each - the Coconut Shrimp and the Steak Tacos. Both are delicious! The steak is tender and juicy, delicately spiced. The shrimp, chopped into chunks & fried until crisp are delicious with the sweet spicy mango topping. An order of Mac & Cheese ends up being a perfect compliment - the salty, creamy sauce cutting perfectly through the spice of the tacos. We can't wait to return for another date night. My partner & I are reminded that our very first date was just down the block at a now long departed bar, decades ago. This would make a fine replacement.

Porter and Bartender Cassandra's special drink (peachy deliciousness)
Olivia B.

This was my first time at Red Door and wow is this place cool. I went here when it was the red fez and I like the set up now so much better. One of the bartenders knew exactly who would be leaving shortly so we could snag a seat. This was apparently a rare Friday night that wasn't crazy crowded. It was a bar so it was loud, but I could easily hear the people next to me. You know you're in Rhode Island when you have a favorite bartender at one place, and you walk into a new place and recognize them behind the bar! Cassandra is a DELIGHT and made me a special off menu cocktail that was like a peach cosmo... so balanced and not too sweet. We ended up having friends join us and there was something on the menu for everyone. The bar staff was very flexible with any substitutions or adjustments made to the order. All and all this place gets an A+ and will definitely be seeing more of me in the future!

James M.

Stop #5 on RI FOOD FIGHTS 12th Annual Big Burger Blowout #BestBurgersRI w/Carol Stuart...we both opted for the barbecue sliders: bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, fried onion shoestrings and housemade barbecue sauce...delicious! Lots of good looking options on the menu! Have been wanting to try this out for a while, worth the trip, will be back! Autocrat Coffee Milk & Vanilla Crème Brûlée next visit....maybe Grandma Helen's Cheesecake too...

Ella G.

We went for after dinner drinks, and omg excellent. The whole experience was fun and relaxed, we had a great time. The drinks were unique and I can't wait to go back again!

Katrina P.

The moody, velvety vibe of the Red Door is utterly scrumptious in itself, but their creative menu really places this hidden gem at the top of my list of favorite bars in Providence. Perfect spot for a cozy date night.

After attending a meeting nearby we dropped into the East End after about 8:15 pm. The place was…read morepretty full of people in both the bar area and the dining room. We ordered drinks before the meal. I had a Vermont Red Ale for the first time which was very good and worth remembering. At this time they were serving'cocktails for a cause' in support of the Alzheimer's Association, which my other half decided to have. The drink, Fuchsia Butterflies ($15), was made solarium gin, house-made lemoncello, with a Gran Classico & Violet Rinse. It was quite excellent. I had a sip to try (I am usually not one for cocktails) and enjoyed the taste. Perhaps I will try cocktails in the future. For food we shared curry moules frites, well done, just how I like them, and salt and vinegar Wings - tasty but too salty which detracted from the dish. We ended with a good chocolate mint creme brûlée. The check came to $80 to which we added a decent tip for our friendly server, Triston. We have always enjoyed the vibe and cozy environment of this place and are sure to return.

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.

A weird experience.... We walked in and waited by the front door and the "Please wait to be seated"…read moresign for a few minutes. No one helped us, so we walked to the bar and ordered. The bartender told us the drinks were covered by the host, which is when we realized it was a private party in the entire space. We told them we weren't part of the party and paid for drinks, but apparently we never should've been let in. No one stopped us at the front door. No sign. No post on their website saying they were closed for a private event. No post on their Instagram. Feels like whatever system they were trying to implement to enforce a private party totally broke down. The employees were very nice about it at the very least. We got two drinks: the Isuzu and the grape cobbler. The grape cobbler was okay - sweet but not much else going on. The Isuzu was SO bitter and I didn't like it. The description on the menu didn't match the drink at all. I wanted to like it here, and I've heard great things. However, it was such a bad experience and we didn't like the drinks, so I'm not sure we will be back.

The special was a dirty martini and a dirty martini burger. A dirty martini consists of a humongous hamburger patty , with outrageously delicious cheese and an olive. My sister opted out of the martini and had the burger sans olive. I tried the caviar hot dog,which is lobster, scallops and shrimp rolled into the shape of a hot dog and topped with caviar. The texture was not pleasing to my palate, though I ate half of it. I also opted for a lemon drop martini, which was ok. The owner came over and we discovered his birthday was that day. As a bd treat to me, he sent over what looked like gigantic onion rings. Actually it was dehydrated onions, loaded with mozzarella cheese. The outside was crispy and the inside was gooey. This is totally happy food. Both my sister and I are so looking forward to returning.

Every bite had great balance and you can tell they really care about the ingredients. One thing that really stood out to me was the seating. The Frida booths in the corner are the most comfortable restaurant seats I've ever sat in in my life. I could have stayed there all night. The atmosphere overall is fantastic. The lighting is mellow, the music is at the perfect level where you can actually talk without shouting, and the bartender was well-stocked and clearly knows what they're doing. Another bonus is the view. Looking out across the street at the park lit up at night is gorgeous and really adds to the vibe of the place. The only downside is parking, which can be a little tricky depending on when you go. But honestly, once you're inside and the food hits the table, it's totally worth it.

We ordered one taco each (different flavors) and neither of us could even finish it, it was that bad.

I'm glad that I noticed, but because of that, I would not consider them food allergy-friendly and wouldn't risk eating there again. That being said, the waitress admitted that they were understaffed, so it's possible that we may have had a better experience on a different night.
