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

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

Super cute intimate vibes! I recently went back after a couple of years, drinks are good, snacks okay. Good service very kind and knowledgeable staff. My biggest complaint is the bathrooms are not clean! For a place that charges $15 per drink please wipe the toilet. 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

I wanted to be excited about this place as it's my first bar in Rhode Island. Not only did the waitress never bring our food we asked for but she made sure to check if there was anything else that "we needed to drink before the bar closes" after waiting 30+ minutes for our drinks. The waitress then took the liberty to give herself a tip on my card to which I only found out 6 days later. I'm astonished really, terrible first experience at a bar in Rhode Island! I will 100% be in contact with the establishment. read more

One of the best COVID friendly date spots in the city! Ambience: Outdoor seating set up is awesome with big heaters and nice spaced apart tables. Music and vibe is also bumping so it feels like you're really out and having a good time. Food: Loved their cheese ball - oo so flavorful! Portions are def small so expect a tapas feels. Also got their slider which was unique and flavorful. Service: Our server was lovely! Reservations are easy to make and the walk-ins were also ea 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

Loved the chill ambience and wonderful staff at this quaint bar. They had a wide variety of cocktails and our server gave us wonderful recommendations. My favorites were the Summer Babe and Ruby Tuesday. Such a perfect place for drinks on weekends or after work especially with the availability of their outdoor patio seating. A must try if you ever visit Providence. 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

Nice for drinks. I've been here multiple times over the years and it's consistently solid. Atmosphere is cool, servers are nice, and it's always a good time. It's a really small space so it's always packed. If you want to go with a group you'll have to make a reservation for sure. The music is usually pretty loud, which also makes going in a group tougher, but it's fine for a date. The cocktail menu has a wide variety and changes often enough that there's always something new to try. There are also a couple that are always available, in addition to your traditional cocktails that they'll happily make for you. The old fashioned on-tap is usually pretty good but occasionally tastes like it may have sat around a little too long. The most consistently good drink (funny enough) is the House Punch, which actually varies depending on when you go. I've found that it's most often a rum-based drink but that could just be my timing. It's usually on the slightly sweeter side but not overwhelmingly so, and the flavors are always fun. Most recently, had the Thru-Hiker which was good but maybe a touch watery. Not worth the $14 (pre tax and tip) price but not a bad drink. Overall, solid drinks and a good place for a date. Not my go-to but I'm sure I'll continue to stop by every once in a while. read more

Very nice and cozy bar. It's kind of small, but if you go at the right time you will feel comfortable. The prices are reasonable, but if you're looking for cheap drinks, this is not the place to go. Same for the food. The bartender was extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed. It's not really my kind of crowd, but going with the right people definitely makes a difference. I would most definitely return. read more

This little gem was like the best possible amusement park for my belly. Located at the unassuming corner of Eddy St., the small location belies the big flavors that appear on the table. The menu is "small plate" which delights me because I can graze on a variety of goodies. Its low lighting and simple decor made for a cozy spot to snack and relax. read more

A good spot. Cozy; warm (when it's blowing outside); and great service. Understand this has a regular clientele including Brown and RISD students. We only stopped for cocktails before dinner so cannot comment on the food. We had 3 of their craft cocktails - all winners. Damages with tip for 3 was $50. Recommended! read more

Great drinks and food. We really enjoyed the pickled green beans and charred scallion dip, both of which were great for sharing in a group of 4. I enjoyed the house punch, which was pretty inexpensive for a drink ($8). I would definitely come back again. read more

Good craft cocktails! I always like to start off with whatever is on their menu, just to taste what they offer. I ask the bartender which one is the tartiest, he said none, just choose the one I like and he can make it tarty. I did and it turned out to be very good. Definitely one of the better drinking places I've tried. read more

We got here a minute before they opened and glad we did because it got packed in about 45 minutes. The bar is super small, but the drinks packed a punch. I had a cocktail that had Fruity Pebble infused vodka. Yes. This was the epitome of cozy and I'd love to make the 3-hour drive in the snow one day to feel the cozy apex. Drinks are not cheap, but I had no complaints. read more

Horace and Natalie were the dream team last night. Very friendly and knowledgeable about all the bottles they carry. I have been here several times and realized I've neVer written a review. There is not parking directly in front, so plan on parking at a meter and walking a block. The bar is lit with a blue sign and is very tiny. People come in waves here even on weeknights, so if you see a seat-take it. All drinks are crafted by hand and usually by one bartender. Give them time to work their magic. The drinks are well balanced and the bar is well curated. They do have a selection of small bites. Not much for plant based eaters, but if you are an omnivore you will enjoy. read more

The Eddy is one of the few bars in Providence that draws an actual wait, and it's easy to see why. Sophisticated cocktails without an attitude-- it takes a special kind of place to serve chartreuse- and benedictine-spiked cocktails alongside a perennially offered house punch with the description "it's what pirates drink! everybody loves pirates!" It's a low-key but sexy spot, with a sleek U-shaped bar at the center. It can be quite busy on weekend nights but they do a good job of not letting you in if you'll be standing for a while. Service can be excellent at off-peak but is often overwhelmed. I absolutely idolized The Eddy as a college senior and budding cocktail enthusiast, and I was pleased to see that they hold up after the many bars I've visited. I was dreaming of the Orange Julius and it was just as good as I remembered when I got it last month. My friend's Stand By Your Manzanilla was even better. It's a bit pricey for Providence, but I think $12 is a fair deal for these well-made cocktails. read more

Fantastic cocktails and charcuterie. This place may be small but it packs a punch. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

Drinks AMAZING, Vibe , will Definately be back . However only negative was our server suffered from extreme RBF , not terribly engaged and left feeling like we did something to offend her . However , worth the trip , but defiantly drinks , snacks , not a dinner place ! read more

Cozy, hip environs for the chosen few Cocktails first If Lost In Translation birthed a PVD bar... Defer all but the cocktail ingenuity for now, as genius can be fleeting. The beer list is solid though not daring. The snack list is plentiful yet secondary. You came to imbibe, so do so. Bartender's Choice: the expertise-enabled Mystery Box of cocktails. That we see it less often than we could or should is a crime. Ne'ertheless, it's in full force here, awaiting your taste profile input. My first Bartender's Choice (as if a My First Sony Cocktail): Scotch, Benedictine, dry Curaçao, bitters; magically delicious. But it's not all Daily Doubles & Physical Challenges here, friend. The Amaretto Sour is menu delectability. I heard the words "Vesper," " Boulevardier," and "Aviation" exclaimed gushingly from other patrons while I sipped, too, and they seemed nothing but pleased. I parked 9 blocks away on a cold, rainy, generally unpleasant January night to try the wares. I arrived and unexpectedly encountered a friend. I ordered, drank, observed, enjoyed. I saw that in what precious downtime he had, Jay was entertaining guests and polishing his beer taps. This place is gon' be ALRIGHT. Come and see about a drink right hurr. read more

My favorite go-to bar in providence. It's the place you take your friend who is in town visiting for the weekend. The front of house guy is always super kind, respectful, polite- and not at all in your face or too chatty. The interior decor is BEAUTIFUL, it almost feels like an escape to a nice bar in new york for the night. Every drink is so unique and wonderful, prices are standard if not on the lower end! The crowd is typically older 20s but respectful but now rowdy which i appreciate. Super drinks, great ambiance, 10/10 would recommend read more

It was nothing but disappointed for the experience that I had on 8/18. Never see the new host before and she was performing racism towards Asian. I've been always a valuable customers and been supporting for the local business during the quarantine. The host was yelling at my people to ask fot their IDs as we don't know how to speak English. When we got checked out she was asking us to clear the table which is obviously that she didn't ask other people to do that. I started to bring it up and she finally came up with the strongly statement :" Don't come back". I don't think I have ever done anything to deserve any of attitude from her. Like I said I've been always supporting for past few years. I would love to have a conversation with the manager of this place. Totally a disaster experience. read more

I had a craaaaazy craving for a charcuterie board, which was satisfied at The Eddy. We ordered the All Meats ($40, 1 ounce portions of 7 varieties) and the All Cheeses ($30, 6 varieties). The plates were served with warmed crusty bread, cornichons, whole grain mustard and a fruit jam. The charcuterie selection was all local, and I loved the creaminess of the pate and duck rillette. The cheeses were pretty creamy and not overly pungent, if that's the style you enjoy. We also ordered the raw Walrus and Carpenter oysters, which were delicious!!! (One of my fave restaurants in Seattle is named Walrus & Carpenter, so I totally get why now!!) I loved the yuzu mignonette to give an extra punch to the sweet oyster. We finished the evening with the Knead donut holes. It came with 5 holes in 2 different flavors--mojito lime and passion fruit. These holes are specially made for The Eddy and not sold at Knead. I loved how the glaze was not too sweet, yet flavorful. The donut was also not greasy and oily tasting. Lastly, the cocktails were so delicious! They were strong, but the alcohol burning sensation didn't overpower the unique flavors. I am definitely a fan of The Eddy and would recommend this small joint to everyone! Service was also super friendly. read more

Any place that has a cocktail named after an Arrested Development reference is ok with me! In this case it was There's Always Money In The Banana Stand, which was a lot more tart and a lot less sweet than the name might suggest. I loved the egg white, passionfruit, and Thai bitters in there. At $12 it's not cheap, but you could easily find this level of cocktailery in NYC for about $15 so I was happy. I also really liked the Flor de Jamaica, which was a lighter cocktail with bergamot vodka, rosewater, and hibiscus tea. And those who are nostalgic for Orange Julius drinks from the mall should definitely go for the Orange Julius Caesar! Though it's not a full restaurant, they have lots of enticing snacks including a charcuterie board that comes with a literal loaf of bread and a tempting pretzel situation. They've managed the perfect level of interesting people watching and buzzing of music and conversation, and it's a great place to sit back and relax over your well-crafted cocktail. One of my local faves! read more

Had a lovely experience coming here for drinks and a few light bites with a friend. The craft cocktails are fantastic, and the service is stellar. We sat at a table and ordered some drinks and a cheese and salumi platter. Our waiter was really helpful both in selecting drinks and items off the menu. The vibe of this small space is really fun and upscale. It's not your typical dive whatsoever. It definitely reminds me of a big city bar, and although the surrounding area is somewhat quiet, even on a Saturday night, the Eddy is definitely worth heading out here. I would pick a night out at the Eddy over many other bars in the area. read more

First cocktail bar we went to in Providence! What a great find! Tiny little place and i'm sure it gets crowded on weekend nights. Great ambiance and the bartenders, especially Jen is amazing. We happened to go there around 5pm which was great because there weren't many people there. They have a great selection of cocktails; we started off with the jackaloupe and the bees on bees on knees, liked both of them although i liked the jackaloupe better. The bees on bees on knees is citrusy and refreshing. Next we got the stirred paloma which was not on the menu but it was there on their menu last summer apparently and the person next to us had ordered it. Very interesting drink with mezcal that will grow on you! Lastly we got the orange julius caesar which was almost like an apertif and the vanilla flavor in the drink makes it so delicious. For food, we got the deviled eggs which is probably one of the best I've ever had and is a signature dish and must try. Creamy, delicious with a great spicy aftertaste that is amazing. We also got the charcuterie board with the aged cheddar cheese. Delicious spicy mustard along with the pickles, must try atleast one, it is so good. The cuban sliders also looked good but didn't get as we were so full. Overall it was a 5 star experience. The bartenders make it all the more special and everyone's so friendly and helpful. Jen mentioned a few other cocktail bars we should definitely check out as well. She's been there since the start and can make you any cocktail you would want; definitely hats off to her and the eddy. Also love the close congenial bartender community in the city. We will definitely be frequenting this place in the future. read more

Do you love fancy drinks and seeing what bartenders can come up with? We do! I think mixology is awesome and sometimes a great bar with cool drinks is hard to find in a new city. We came to the right place at the Eddy. We all ordered different variation of drinks. Mine was called the Pineapple Spritzer. Seems like they have a monthly specialty menu change in addition to their standard menu, so they are not short of drinks on their menu. Although I'm sure you can order a specific thing off the menu at any point as well. Would have loved to try the food as well but had dinner reservations elsewhere. I love a good small plates menu! Keep being cool, Eddy! read more

First review on Yelp! Service is top notch first of all. Very personable and accomadating. Without any pretension which was appreciated. Cocktails are made with love and care. I really enjoyed the 'herbs de providence' And the meats and cheeses are superb as well.

Fun bar to eat and drink and the vibe is the one I like when looking for a local bar. We sat by the bar and had great time. Bar tender was very friendly and let us taste some drinks so we decide what to order. Thank to him I discovered a smoked whisky that I think is going to be my new drink. Food was also good. It is bar food so don't expect a restaurants food. Or was it because we sat by the bar. Anyway it was good. Prices were reasonable and we left happy, drunk and know that we are going to come back to Eddy soon. read more

Stellar. Always stellar. 10/10 for vibes, ambience, and cocktails. Their new menu was incredible - try the sour, trust me. You'll turn into a God. And this review wouldn't be a good one without an ode to the incredible staff they have. The bartenders have mastered their craft, and provide quite the entertaining shake-shake-shake of the tins. Don't leave PVD without trying the Eddy at least thrice. read more

I mean-Best drinks in town. No contest. Get here early if you want a table, but I would honestly stand all night, it's worth it. For drinks we got the gin gin mule, the orange Julius caesar, and the cranberry pimms cup. All were amazing, delicately balanced, and not skimped on at all. For food we got the charcuterie board that comes with your choice of meats or cheeses, crusty bread, mustard and pickles. We chose pork belly (because come on), and it was melt in your mouth tender. We also tried the Cuban sliders, and haven't stopped talking about them since. Possibly one of the best sliders I have ever had. This is definitely becoming our regular spot for a Friday night! read more
