Where is the Best Irish Pub in Providence, Rhode Island?
We got lucky and found a parking space right in front of Brick Alley. Not know anything about it except the awards posted by the front door, we took a chance and were very happy with our lunch. My husband’s steak and cheese sandwich was huge and very good, I chose the Buffalo chicken pizza and this was wonderful, just really tasty. My sister picked the club sandwich and it was very generous too. Can’t wait to go back and try the dinner options sometime. Our server was pleasant and refilled drinks right way – nice. The salad bar looked good. Bathrooms were spotless, which is one of my criteria for a top rating.Pros + Good food, great portions, friendly staff who looked like they enjoy working thereCons – parking (its Newport after all), not much else!
The bar is great in every aspect. Great mix of old and young, white-collar and blue-collar, college kids and townies. Three bars in three sections/rooms. Lots of space to accomodate large crowds – which is a positive and negative depending on what you want. St. Patty’s day here is the best in Providence – great mix of true Irish culture and celebrating. You can actually “meet” others here! Food is ok, but the Irish aren’t known for their cuisine… True Irish folk are scattered throughout the crowd.Pros + large, friendly, good mix of peopleCons – can get crowded

Aside from the same old clientele, Twin River and its selection of restaurants impresses.White Fado does not impress as much as its Twin River roommate, Fred & Steve’s Steakhouse, it was still a good restaurant. Entering the place, I was struck by how large it was. It seemed to continue onward in all directions. The bar is enormous and it had a vast selection of beers that any beer-lover will certainly enjoy. We were seated promptly in a cozy little corner near some wall-mounted knick knacks.The seats were uncomfortable and my girlfriend’s bum found itself falling to sleep on a number of occasions. It also took a very long time for our server to apparently become aware of our existence. Once she did, though
