    This was my second time here and this spot is just so moody and cute! Food is always good, cocktails are always strong and beautiful! Service both at the bar and table side is excellent. Parking isn't as bad as you would think either. Great spot for a date night, catching up with a friend or even a fundraiser!

    Delicious!! I've been wanting to try The East End for a while now - I'm so glad I was finally able to go! The cocktail list alone was super impressive. Such a wide variety and the drinks were delicious! The food was also great. The cheese board was much larger than I thought it would be. The fritters were also delicious - perfectly crispy. We also had the French onion burger which was rich and decadent. The Cubano was also a perfectly balanced bite. The service was also great. Always attentive. Nothing felt slow or rushed. Always made sure water and drinks were full. It's a little dark inside and was a little loud the night we were there, but nothing out of the ordinary. We will be back soon!

    Popped into this place on a work trip tucked away on a corner in what appears to be a cute college neighborhood just off of DT Providence. It gives off speakeasy vibes, loved the dark lighting and mood inside. I popped in for HH oysters, and ordered a few speciality cocktails. '69 el Camino was fabulous and perhaps one of the best craft cocktails I've ever had. Also tried the apple sazerac, it was strong, spirit heavy, and fine just probably not my style. Prices range from $12-$16, pretty standard for a solid craft cocktail. I tried some HH oysters and they were really good. After staring at the menu too long, I had to try the salt/vinegar wings and was highly impressed. I love wings, normally I'm a total sauce guru, and stay away from dry rubs, but this was exceptional. Was complimented with a chive sour cream sauce, but I didn't need it. Simply loved the flavor of the wings. Bartender/service was great, sounds like they also have a nice burger deal during the HH, I'd love to come back and try more cocktails as they had a pretty extensive menu and unique food offerings.

    Cool spot and great vibes. Love coming here with friends or family. Great veg options and phenomenal cocktails. The servers always give great recommendations too.

    The service was great. The drinks were great and the food was tasty. The burger was delicious. The fries were really tasty. They could have done with a bit more crisp but the flavor was really good. They had drink and meal specials. The music is loud and it's a bit dark, but it's a perfect spot for a small friends gathering. I would avoid a bigger group because it's hard to hear, but they can accommodate with reservations.

    I like coming here for a drink and lowkey "catch-up" moment with a friend. Service is always great. It's dark, swanky, and vibey. Worth checking out for any occasion. And I enjoy the oyster shooter!

    Slow clap... The East End is much more than meets the eye from the street. Everything I put in my mouth had me whispering sweet nothings while my buddy was just trying to get a bite to eat. Seriously though, everything about the food was top notch. I got to try the Bone Marrow, the Aji Chicken Sandwich, and the Duck toast. Tldr: Delicious flavor packed food, extremely high quality food and drinks. Good service, kind wait staff, deliver on all the essentials. Food very, very slow to arrive during busy time. Order Duck Toast. Our server was kind enough to honestly answer all of our questions. I was between the Seared Duck entrée or the combo of Bone Marrow appetizer and Aji Chicken Sandwich. Why was I between those two options? Because the seared Duck was $32, that's why. The Bone Marrow was $16 and same with the sandwich. So, not exactly a cheap night out. The Aji Chicken Sandwich was delicious. The polenta crust was super crisp and the Aji aioli was nice and creamy but the pickled carrots and cauliflower stepped right in to take the richness. Honestly, even the bread was fantastic, fluffy sweet hawiaan bread, wonderfully crisped was perfect to make little bits of each thing on the plate. And to that point, the ratio of everything in this dish was perfect. Worth the $16 for sure, a lot of care put into this dish. The bone marrow: while I enjoyed every single thing about this dish, I hardly had any marrow. The bits I did have were amazing. The mustard and the lime fennel was to die for. I kid you not, I took a bite of all of these slapped onto the toasted bread they give you and I threw my head back harder than someone that just got rear-ended at a red light. But dangit, I wish that cow had more marrow. Felt a little salty for the $16 price tag on this one. Now, I didn't order the duck toast, that was my friend. Our server did mention "the Duck toast will never leave the menu, there would be uproar.." - paraphrasing.. Holy crap. She was right. Whatever was on there was pure magic. It was rich and creamy, amazing depth of flavor and again, from the first bite to the last absolutely delicious. Now, one thing I'm going to overlook purely because I loved the food so much I was still taking about it this morning, is the amount of time it took to get the food! We sat down a little before 6:30pm and didn't get out food until after 7:20pm. Don't come here in a rush. They must have been chasing the chicken down and driving to the farm to get the marrow bone.. Food was so slow to come out. Our server was around enough and kept us with water, but damn, least they could do is give you some bread if food is going to take almost an hour. Normally, I'd knock a star off for something like this but this place is definitely not the type of place to get a quick bite (which I thought it was going in), it's a "enjoy the dark cool ambiance, sit at the fancy bar, and get a $14-$16 drink, while exploring the hundred single malt scotch and bourbons on our menu" type place. Will absolutely be back. Now that I know what to expect, I'll likely be planning a date night as this is a great spot for that.

    Great bar, and cocktails. Ambience is really nice, Sam (bartender B) is great! We came in for a good glass of wine and they met the mark! After looking through the menu, we will be back. It looks great!

    A love letter to "From My Head Down Tomatoes" - a mixology masterpiece by Kieley (sp?) Vodka, basil liqueur, cherry tomato, dry vermouth, lemon, olive oil, black pepper, salt. It's like all of my favorite things in one drink & it makes me feel like she invented this drink just for me. But she didn't - She invented it for herself. Which brings my to my overall point here, which is that The East End continues to benefit from allowing their bartenders the freedom & time to get weird with drinks. I am always so excited to see new, unique cocktails on the menu & appreciate the staff & management for getting weird with it. Can't wait to see what else y'all come up with.

    I've been here now for both drinks and dinner on separate occasions. The 1/2 price burger (or bogo, I can't remember) is such a great deal for a casual date night! Went here for drinks on Friday. Bar was lively, service was great! I got an aviation cocktail and it was well balanced. If you like whiskey/bourbon/scotch, this is the place for you. I haven't seen any place in providence with the selection here!

    Came to The East End after a concert and boy am I glad that we did! Place looks unassuming from the outside but it's an absolute gem. Walked in, very dimly lit and soothing and sat at one of their comfortable high top booths near the bar. Greeted by the server and given the late night menus. We started out sharing some poutine. Topped with mushroom gravy and cheese curds it was perfect, good size portion as well. We then moved onto burgers which could not be priced any better. I got the basic East End which had secret sauce, dill pickles and American cheese while my wife got the matador which had some kind of kick to it. The matador has guava BBQ sauce, bacon and crispy onion strings. The burger was cooked perfectly and is the best late night burger I've ever had. I couldn't love this place anymore, great food and amazing vibes, can't wait to return!

    We walked in looking for an appetizer and I was SO HAPPY they had charcuterie. And it was good charcuterie too. We're also bourbon drinkers and they have a fantastic selection. The space is beautiful and very clean, service was great. If we lived in the area we would definitely be back for dinner sometime.

    Came with a group of friends and a reservation ahead of time to make sure we go seats~ staff had seats and I was seated promptly when I arrived, and offered the menu~ I ordered a serenity chaos which was good~ my friends ordered cherry blossom drinks, and they were more sweet~ fries was a must have for the table, but they didn't come with the house made ketchup I was looking forward too. I was too anxious to ask. The bok choy was great! The pesto pasta was also a delight! I'd definitely order the bok choy and pasta again because they were the best dish! The cheese board was ok. Nothing too different. I liked the condiments added to the board that I decided to use on the bread. I honestly can seem to remember what the bread was, and upon tasting, it was normal. I don't know if this was supposed to be to taste like something special, but I tasted a normal bread piece . Scallops were solid, but not as spectacular as the bok choy and pasta. I'm glad I checked out more of the menu this time around! The vibe spoke spooky, dark, moody vibes, with dim lighting and cozy seats. It's definitely a place you go for the drinks~ I'm so glad I tried the food. As for the price, it was on the high end, so I'd come back for another night out with friends. I noticed some specials too like their half off burgers between 2-6pm.

    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.

    This place was honestly such a great find. The tacos were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful,…read moreand perfectly put together. 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. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to

    The drinks were great! I tried the margarita flight and was very pleased with the classic margarita…read moreand the blackberry vanilla margarita. The food was awful. We ordered one taco each (different flavors) and neither of us could even finish it, it was that bad. Additionally, I have a severe gluten allergy and they were making an accommodation to what I ordered (grilled fish instead of fried), but initially when they brought me my taco, it had been made with fried fish and I had to tell them so that they could re-make it. 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.
