Super fun bar with great food and delicious fries! Wish I lived closer and could come more often.
Really enjoyed the shrimp po’boy but the French onion soup was the star. I eat a lot of it and most of the time it’s too salty. This was perfect! 10/10, no notes!

This is a really cool little spot, right in the heart of the city but somehow separate from the mess of the city around it. There’s a great, friendly crowd of regulars and the employees are wonderful as well. the kitchen staff busts their ass and stays open on weekends til about midnight-which is about two hours or more later than many other bars in the area.
so if you’re out drinking and want some good bar food and friendly folks around you, this is the spot to go.
Came to update this review as I’ve now tried the food and can attest to it’s deliciousness. Try the old fashioned steak sandwich, or the nachos. Really good!

Pretty low key upscale beer and burger joint tucked away in a forgotten side street in downtown PVD. Has a nice low key vibe and always good for a pint and good food. I wish they had more good vegetarian options, but I sure do love the Old Speckled Hen on draft!
I’ve been here solo, on a date, and with over a dozen people, and the service is always solid – and the food both consistently good and pretty quickly served.
