    Flatbread pizza with arugula, tomatoes and balsamic - without the marinara- delicious!
    Anita D.

    It took me my second stop in here to finally realize it's the old Corner Pockets! Located on a very busy intersection in Johnston (Hartford Ave. & Atwood Ave.) this place is perfect for after work drinks and apps. They have specials throughout the week, both menu and event - there is country line dancing on Tuesday nights and the place packs out. The ambience is pretty contemporary with the blue lighting and black decor. The bartenders are very friendly and there's even a spinny wheel to win things such as free drinks or appetizers. The food is pretty good too, definitely get the Ave fries as they have garlic and Parmesan as well as a bit of a kick to them. The flat breads are great as they don't feel as heavy as pizza, and I love the wings - the maple ones are my favorite. Definitely make sure to check this place out if you are looking for a bar / hangout spot especially after work.

    Owner kicked me out 14 degrees outside because I called the pd for a lockout after aaa said 530 am n Uber cancelled 3 rimes! I started this at 1130 pm He needed another n said pd are his friends nice try have a nice night! Leave!

    The vibes are immaculate, Bruce is the best and makes the Silliest drinks. Weekly line dancing nights? DJs? pretzel balls??!?!!? we go over 2 bridges to get here, and we'd gladly cross 200 more!!!!

The location was pretty busy when I arrived, and the bar was completely full, but I was greeted right away by a woman who took my payment and got me on my way. My order was already ready to go, so pickup was quick and hassle-free. The pizza was really good and definitely different from your typical pizza. It had more of a grilled-style crust, which gave it a really nice flavor and texture. I would definitely recommend ordering it "all done" if you like your pizza with a little extra crispiness. The burger was good as well. I ordered it medium, and it actually came out cooked correctly, which I really appreciate. The fries were also really good--they were the shoestring-style fries, which are some of my favorites. Overall, everything was fresh, tasty, and prepared quickly. I'd definitely order from here again, especially for the pizza and fries!

They have specials almost every day & on Thursday, it is buy a pizza & get one 50% off, $5 red or white sangria. So that's what we did! Hubby was in the mood for an appetizer & he selected the calamari alla mama with sauteed garlic, tomatoes, hot peppers over a bed of arugula & a side of marinara. I didn't love the calamari rings so I had several & let him go to town on the dish. He very much enjoyed all the garlic & hot peppers, especially with it dousing the arugula underneath. He literally ate every bite! Hubby wanted a meat pizza so he selected the classic cheese with the pepperoni add-on. I opted for the prosciutto & arugula. Both were delicious! The crust was super thin & crispy, the toppings went all the way to the edge. If I was going to nitpick, it would only be to say that we love our pepperoni with a little char & some cupping action. Hubby opted for a Peroni & I went with the red sangria (no ice). Both were delightful! We had a rotating cast of servers & all of them were lovely. The bar was pretty empty when we got there around 5:15pm but when we left, every seat was taken. Very nice evening out!

    If you're a nerd in any capacity, even 1%, you will LOVE this place. I came here with my friend and…read morethe first thing that caught my eye were the hot dog and burger plushies, followed by the multiple old school arcade games to the left. The longer I looked around, the more cool things I noticed like an air hockey table and figurines throughout. Also, the middle of the condiment holder was a fake (but very real looking) chicken nugget which was unique. They have two big screen TVs and they were showing a football game. We had the RI Food Fights Wiener coupons and this is the first place that had a menu specific to this event. My friend ordered the backyard hot dog and I ordered the Chicago dog with a side of fries. Our order came out after about 10 minutes. The hot dogs were grilled to perfection, pretty thick, long, and juicy. I couldn't tell if they were all beef though. Both the buns were toasted, but the Chicago one came on a bun with poppy seeds. All the toppings were fresh and had just the right amount of each. The fries were simple but very good - crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Our server was very kind and attentive. This is definitely a hidden treasure. One other plus is that they have a large parking lot.

Lots of retro decor (think Slimer from Ghostbusters, Hulk Hogan pillow buddies, etc). The walls are lined with arcade games... bring your quarters! Whole variety of seating, from tables and chairs to circular booths, and the like. The perfect space to settle in for a bit, especially on a rainy weekend evening. We were greeted immediately and provided with a number of menus... and what a menu! Lots of comfort food options ranging from apps to entrees, and a number of sandwiches and burgers. I was vacillating between the hot dogs and a couple of the chicken sandwich's and ultimately selected the Cool Ranch Ray with grilled chicken, cheddar, bacon, and Ranch dressing. It was delicious! Unfortunately, the fries left something to be desired as they were fairly dried out and a bit tough to get down. Perhaps a bit less time in the fryer could have fixed that. Dessert was a nice cap to the meal with Nutella empanadas. Yum! PB & Jealous drink... divine. Our waiter Chris was moving and grooving... never seeming to stop for a second and always finding time to check in with us. Pretty certain he was behind the bar AND waiting tables and kept up with it all. Bravo! Fun evening, great food. Will definitely be back.

It's a place tucked into a strip off Atwood ave with an open floor plan. Theres a bar along one end of the room with stools and a fair amount of low top tables for hanging out. I of course dove right into the menu - it consists mostly of "bar foods" so if you're looking for fancy, go elsewhere. If you're looking for good solid bar food options, you've found your place. Everything from fries to burgers to chicken sandwiches to wings. With a lot in between. I got the pretzel bites and 12 honey BBQ wings. The pretzels were YUM! Perfectly salted, warm and served with a stone ground honey pub mustard. The wings are not breaded, with I like. (The tenders are breaded fyi). They bake them, fry them then sauce them so they're super tender. Frankly I want to try all the sauces!!! I got the "everyone likes" version this time so I could share. Next time I'll go for heat and do buffalo. They have 4 tiers, mild, medium, hot and el diablo. Oh baby. I don't think I'm that adventurous.... Yet. The waitress was super nice and accommodating. It was trivia night and very busy, she handled the WHOLE place with drinks and food. Hats off to her for sure. She handled it with a smile, grace and wonderful attitude. A few others got nachos, beef chili and a friend chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Each said they were very good. All in all this place has my business for take out wings going forward and the Wednesday trivia. Thanks Coop, nicely done. CHEERS!

    Bishop Hill Tavern has been on my list of places to try for a while now. We often stop at historic…read morebusinesses when we travel, so why not do the same 'at home'? The building is smallish and located on a corner. A small parking lot is located on busy Hartford Ave, with a building entrance on that side that leads into the first of two bar areas. A larger parking area is located around the corner on Bishop Hill Road. Another two entrances, into the 2nd bar area are accessible from this lot. Also, a huge outdoor seating area, under a tent runs along one side of this parking area. So they have lots of room to enjoy a summer evening outside. We arrived late afternoon between meal times. The bar was full except for two seats. Other than the bar, the tables and booths in this area were empty (the other bar was not staffed at this hour). We like sitting at the bar and talking with the regulars. We learn so much about the area this way. Even in our own state! The majority of our bar-mates and the bartender were very friendly and we had some lively conversations. The building itself is old and much of the original dark wood remains along with a big fireplace. The ladies room is right at the end of the bar, is small and older and everything works. Full bar, beer on tap or in cans and wine. They have a nice bar-food menu. I chose sweet potato fries as my side while my dining companion chose regular fries. Both were good, as were our sandwiches (au jus and Big bird) Good quality and tasty. The booths began to fill as we were leaving and the barkeep was also their waitress, so she has a big area to cover. The regulars are very well known to each other and the staff so if you sit at the bar you may feel like the 'odd man out'. We enjoyed our visit and plan to return to try some of their other food offerings.

I can't say enough good things about the chicken parm Tuesdays. The portion is big enough to share and the price is great - $10 for red sauce and $12 for vodka sauce (my favorite). The pizzas are also really good and there are some unusual toppings. For example, The Texan pizza has bbq sauce, chicken, bacon, and onion rings. We love sitting near the wood stove - so toasty warm and cozy. Our go-to place and you can find us there at least once a week!
