Drinks are amazing; music, crowd, ambiance, and service are just exceptional. 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!! read more

The Eddy - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Interesting cocktail bar that under delivered. The place definitely doesn't have a warm inviting vibe, 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. read more

Delicious cocktails and excellent service! Nice bar bites menu and beautiful part of Providence.

Great drinks. Cool atmosphere Bartenders are really friendly. Definitely recommend.

Came here on a Friday night after dinner. Michael took great care of us, converting us to egg white cocktail folks. If you can grab a spot at the bar, take it! The cocktail list is a good guide if you don't have a cocktail in mind, but they do have a full bar. We got the gimlet and a few drinks on the menu but also got a few off menu/bartenders whim. Definitely will be back, this is a fun after dinner/date night spot! read more

We went in for a drink and deviled eggs on New Year's Eve. The Eddy nailed it again. There was a steady crowd coming and in and out and the service was excellent. Drinks came out quick after the famous crack of the shaker and music of the clattering ice cubes. The Alpine Shore ($15) was amazing. I don't know what half of the ingredients were, but it really doesn't matter at the Eddy. They always make a balanced cocktail that mimics a scene in New York City. The bucchus' harvest caught my attention with the cognac ($15), amaro , sherry, fig, blueberry and lime. It was also a great cocktail. The deviled eggs were made with curry and apricot jam. I didn't think I was going to like it, but surprise, surprise...they did it again. read more

I guess I have become a regular - that's when the staff knows where you would like to sit, that you would like a glass of water with your order, 95% of the time you order the same drink & you don't normally get food because The Eddy is a pit stop on the way to or from somewhere else. Yup! 100% nailed it. In nice weather, we like to sit outside. In bad weather, we like to sit at the table next to the window. Hubby gets a Gansett tall boy, I get the House Punch. We did order the chicken liver mousse on a previous visit & it was delicious. I love that the House Punch changes daily. Last night, it was a delicious dark rum, tea, citrus concoction. I may or may not have had another while waiting for hubby to arrive. Just sayin'. Cheers! read more

Great bar with phenomenal drinks and food. My friend and I spontaneously decided to check out the Eddy. We ordered the Sea of Nectar and Life of Sin. I like sweeter drinks and the Sea of Nectar was perfect. It wasn't too strong and had a nice fizz. My friend ordered the Life of Sin, which is great if you like aperol spritz. We also ordered the Whipped Feta Dip and Charcuterie Board with Taleggio & Soppressata. We asked the waiter a couple questions about the cheese and meat options. She was really helpful. Loved our drinks and food. Overall, everything came really quick. Nice, darker ambiance inside too. It's a cozy space with a calm yet chatty vibe. Glad I checked it out! read more

My wife and I stopped in last Sunday after the show at PPAC. We usually drive back home, but tonight we were celebrating our anniversary, so we stayed over. The ambiance was really nice. It was a smaller place with a nice open feel and a generously sized bar that was comfortable. We certainly were the oldest people there. The bartender was the star of the show. She was personable, funny, and full of great suggestions. She made us some amazing cocktails that were off the top of her head. They didn't have a name, and she wasn't sure she could replicate them. No matter, she had the skill. They were fabulous. She also gave us the lowdown on the restaurants in the area. We also had some hummus and pita, and a little dessert, and both were great. What started as a nightcap turned into 2 hours of fun. We will certainly be back. You should go and visit and have a cocktail or three! read more

Went in for a quick drink. Absolutely loved the vibe, and the drink was amazing. Delicious! I'll definitely come back to try something on the menu. Service very friendly. read more

It's tight. Lets state the obvious, tighter than tight.It makes another nice drink spot, Clementines (former Birch restaurant) feel big. It's dark. Which I'm ok with. But be prepared. The drinks are different, very few of the cocktails you're used to seeing with a definite twist from the traditional. And to be honest unless you're looking to get there before the dinner rush... I wouldn't bother dropping by because you will be waiting to find a spot or having your cocktail standing room only, rubbing shoulders with the next person coming in. I think I'm 1 for 4 getting a table here. The bar takes up so much space there's hardly any room to sit and enjoy. read more

Gem! A must do! Very quaint and cozy. Delectable drinks and cool Atmosphere. Perfectly located near many other eateries and shops. Start here and end here :-) read more

The drinks here were fantastic!!! I loved the fall themed beverages they had. The one I tried was called " Bacchus' harvest" and was served with a pretzel! The drink had a delicious blend of cognac, sherry, fig, blueberry and lime! It was so tasty and I wish it wasn't seasonal since I would definitely order it again! The server was also very kind and brought us extra pretzels to go with the drink. Lastly, the ambiance of the bar makes for a classy, high quality bar nestled in downtown Providence. It's a mere 2 minute walk from Oberlin's so you can get a tasty drink before your dinner and still be on time! Will definitely come back again soon read more

The Eddy - Bacchus' Harvest - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

What an amazing little cocktail bar. Really nicely made drinks, and very welcoming staff to help you decide what to get. Small snacks menu was fun too. My pretzel with pimento cheese and mustard was warm, soft and delicious. Thanks Eddy Crew! read more

Loved the fall themed drinks and the multiple NA options too. The service was pretty good overall. Maybe a little pushy on trying to get me to order food, but I get it. The ambiance was really cool - I sat by the window and enjoyed the space. read more

The Eddy - Seasonal cocktail - A yellow-colored cocktail served in a coupe glass with a lemon-lime slice garnish on the rim. The drink is on a dark wooden bar table with a black coaster underneath. The background shows a window with a view of a street scene, including storefronts and streetlights, indicating an indoor setting at a bar or restaurant. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

My third time coming and always outstanding. Small, intimate, the best bar to catch up with a friend or a date. Bartenders always give great recommendations. Creative, fresh ingredients, uncommon spirits and combinations. Every cocktail is truly a culinary experience.. Best bar in Providence. read more

The Eddy - Life of Sin cocktail - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

First Visit - Definitely Coming Back! We stopped by for the first time on a Sunday night after having Hot Pot across town, looking for somewhere chill to grab a few drinks--and this spot totally delivered. The vibe was relaxed and low-key, just what we were hoping for. It wasn't too crowded, which made it easy to settle in and enjoy ourselves. The bartender was fantastic--super friendly and knowledgeable. He walked us through their signature cocktails and gave great recommendations. Each of us ordered something different, and every drink was on point. Great service, great drinks, and a solid atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

One of the best cocktail bars in the city. Ever changing cocktail menu. Friendly and knowledgeable bartenders/mixologists. Snacks/appetizers are quite good too. Great place for a drink and conversation. read more

Always a solid choice for cocktails in downtown. Street parking is plentiful depending on day-if not park in a lot. Bartenders are always A+. Drinks are always creative and you can always find something you like. I really do love this bar. read more

Drinks are always delicious and I'm obsessed with the interior. Dark, intimate, and simply but effectively designed. Always been a favorite of mine for an after dinner (or sometimes before) cocktail. Service is usually friendly, though I have had a few experiences where it could've been better. Never bad, but sometimes a hint of attitude is present with certain staff. Trust me though it's not stopping me from returning. I can't leave a review without mentioning the deviled eggs. A must order for the perfect little bite alongside hour libation of choice. Their other food is tasty too, so don't let the bar atmosphere fool you, they're killing the food too! read more

The Eddy - Alien love call - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

One of the best cocktail bars in the city. Great snacks, great atmosphere, great music. Highly recommend the curated cocktails and the devil eggs. read more

Flashback to the times when speakeasies were popular, this small hole in the wall is moody and fun! With a great menu of cocktails, this the perfect place to meet up before a show at the theater or for an aperitif. The staff was quick and personable. Location is a great spot with a parking lot just around the corner. Fullfilling that speakeasy mood, it is very dark inside. read more

The Eddy - Four people are holding cocktails in various glassware, each garnished with an orange slice. The drinks include a variety of colors and styles, suggesting a selection of cocktails. The setting appears to be a dimly lit bar with a dark wooden table, and the individuals are wearing casual, long-sleeved clothing. The photo captures a social moment of shared drinks. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Honestly the experience was just not great The dark skin bartender was just super rude I be coming here is not my first time and every time he serves me He is just really rude say rude things in front me to other bartender they expect a Tip I don't think nobody should be treated like that I won't be coming here anymore never said anything till last night was super rude was already sitting and he said move there is people coming you can say at least please and just throw the drink I didn't find that respectful so with that it comes this review Throwing the drink and being rude is just crazy Hope nobody goes through that experience read more

Probably one of my top five favorite bars of all-time. It's dark and the music is eclectic. The bartenders are a bit lofty, and they've earned the right to be with some very original drink offerings. Mixology is an art here, and it's fun to simply watch all of the different drinks being created. The Eddy is always on our must-stop list when visiting Providence. read more

I've visited the Eddy several times, generally an hour or two before they close. It's a small, dimly lit, intimate bar, comparative as if you are in a speakeasy. I've sat at both the bar and the tables. The bar is nice for two, and the tables are nice for a group of 4. Can't have a party bigger than that. They play really loud music, sometimes live jazz as well. They have an extended cocktail list, where drinks can change based on the season. This time, I tried their "eXpresso martini on draft", chainonara, and the stirred paloma. I liked the chainonara the best! Definitely the most refreshing and aesthetic-looking. They also don't skimp on the amount of liquor they put in these drinks. I would honestly skip out on the snacks. Service is always friendly, mixologists are skilled in their craft, and overall a good vibe if you can get a spot. read more

It's a tiny place and was crowded the night we were there. It's didn't take too long for our (really good) drinks to arrive. Our server was rushed but understandably so, it was wall to wall human. We could've done without the abruptness, though. That said, I'd definitely go back. Interesting, snacky food, fun atmosphere. read more

This is the best place I've been to here in Rhode Island. The food was delicious; the bread was so fresh, and the mustard was sharp but was the perfect accompaniment to everything! Service was quick even though it's a small intimate restaurant! Drinks too a smidge longer than expected, but I'll definitely be back for the food! read more

Super Intimate Experience Bar This is one of our favorite bars in Providence. It's super small - ideal for date night or at max a group of four. You can reserve ahead, but we haven't had a lot of trouble getting in on weeknights or off-hour weekends. The space is super cool - dimly light, giant wooden bar, and some awesome retro paintings. The cocktail list is extensive, but the friendly bar tenders can always make you a drink based on your taste. The "nibbles" are amazing. TL, DR: - Intimate Bar- best for Date Night or 1-on-1 Catch-Up - Best for cocktail lovers - Can reserve online or drop by during the non-peak hours (weeknights esp) read more

Heard a lot about Eddy and finally came through with a few people. Flew from LA and this was our first cocktail bar in PVD. lol. Awful, uppity service for mediocre, tired cocktails with drab flair. Bartenders laugh when you ask for a drink out of their wheel house - god forbid you don't order their other high brow seasonal drinks such as "house punch". Bartenders also laugh when you ask for a tequila soda. It seems nothing will make them happy unless you request a cocktail with Fischer price and faux aesthetic ingredients. Bartenders will also ask your entire party to leave immediately if you have one person too many at the table because it's disrupting their bs horrendous vibe. Jarring, awful service and rancid hospitality. read more

I was recommended this place by a server at another restaurant for a nice bar to go to. Me and my friends were very hopeful and excited about this place and even made a whole trip back here from Boston to try it out, but the service was very disappointing. I'm not sure if he was having a bad day or not but there was so much attitude since the moment we stepped in. We originally sat at the bar but really was not trying to deal with his attitude all night so we moved to the table seatings (and of course) after asking another server. He proceeds to bring our cups over and slams them into our table. That was when we decided to chug our drinks and leave. The place is small, intimate and really nice. Definitely good for a date night or after dinner vibes. I still do recommend the place for the drinks but if you're trying to deal with the bartender, I wouldn't. read more

A great, inexpensive cocktail bar in the heart of downtown Providence. My boyfriend is into whiskey-based drinks, so he got the High Horse and enjoyed it. I like semi-strong and tasty drinks, so Dew You Mind was perfect for me. The outdoor space closes at 10:15 pm, so make sure you stop by the bar before that to get a spot indoor. read more

The Eddy - Dew You Mind & High Horse - A tall glass contains a cocktail garnished with fresh mint leaves and a lemon wedge, placed on a dark wooden table. Next to it is a short glass filled with ice and a lemon slice, likely a different drink. A handwritten menu listing various cocktails and their ingredients is also visible, indicating a bar setting. The background includes a glass of water and other bar items. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

A corner bar with low lighting creating a pretty cool mood. Very good service and very personable with many cocktails and drink options. They have a good menu with niche looking food and appetizers. A cool spot to cook at and move bartenders. read more

This would have been a perfect evening were it not for the manager/server working at the restaurant. We had a large party come for drinks and the place was lively. The entire evening the manager complained that it was too crowded and let everyone know this. The vibe was great but he is attitude was such a downer. It is like he didn't want customers. The place was not overrun or at capacity in any way. He was just anxious an did not hide this. Someone should let him know he is in a customer service industry. The place itself is lovely. Bartender was amazing and made great drinks. read more

They close before 1am not at 2am as advertised. Bartender wouldn't even speak to me to tell me they were closed. Rude staff. Coming from a city where places are open late, definitely not the overall vibe here. read more

Second time's a charm! Is that how the saying goes?? Lol So first time coming here, it was around 7pm on a Friday night and we were turned away because the place was PACKED! Take Two: Came on a weeknight around maybe 4pmish for after work drinks and while there were some people already there, we managed to find a spot for two. This place is super intimate and just perfect for a date or drinks with a friend. The little bites they've got to snack on are great and the drinks are a hit or miss lol Food -We got a platter with burrata, taleggio, duck pâté and possibly coppa (as the last meat). This was accompanied by whole grain mustard, apricot jam, cornichons and toasty bread. All were great although the duck was truly the STAR here.... get it!! -Drinks were yummy but unfortunately I only took pics of the ones I liked here! So best to mix and match to figure out what you like best! read more
