This is a fabulous dive bar! Actually it's a step above a dive bar, it's cute and clean, two things you don't always find in this category of establishment. Came here tonight for the live music. We sat at the bar and had great service all night. The bartenders were fun, friendly and attentive. The music (Emily & Mark) was amazing. Looking for a beer and great atmosphere? This is the place!

If I could give zero stars I would. I'm really disappointed we pass this place all the time on our boat! When we found out they have a place to dock up we were stoked because it's so close to where we live and thought it would be the perfect location to become a regular.... Instead we were treated like they did not want us there. We were never even greeted or asked if we would like something to drink! They were bothered we where there. Just overall super bummed!!

First impression here....came for the live band on a Friday night. Band was good, drinks were good & View is awesome!! Ample seating, clean bathrooms, nice bar, few food choices, couple "regulars were rowdy", CASH ONLY and parking can be tricky. Smoking only pet peeve-leave the smoking to entrance and beyond, yuck!

Awful customer service! I am not sure if the ownership has changed hands however the last few times I visited, we were treated extremely rude buy the bartenders. There was zero friendliness & we were treated horrible. I will never go back due to the way my party was treated.

I have visited this place accompanied by family members. Let me tell you I did not feel welcome at all! I was approached by a staff member there who was completely disrespectful. He proceeded to yell across the dock "yo" "you can't fish there". I was very respect but felt targeted as a person of color and was only there to enjoy boat time with my family. Upon approaching him he asked my two children if I was there father for what ever reason. He proceed to ask me "how do did you get in?" And pointed to a sign which did not state that I could not fish. Different family members had uncomfortable in counters with staff members and it wasn't a pleasant experience. I felt like they were racist. My family member was a member at the Yacht Club and should be treated with respect. They need to train there staff on how to approach customers in a respectful way!

This is a dive bar that we stopped into for a drink late on an afternoon. I paid $21 for three drinks. It seemed like a bar the locals frequent. They did a great job with keeping everything clean and sanitized during the Covid Era. They had a grill outside with a small menu that I didn't get a chance to try. If you like dive bars, I would give it a shot with a few friends for the experience.

If you want a nice night don't go here that's for sure...bartenders and bouncers have zero customer service and have no idea how to handle situations!! If they dont know you or just dont like you look out...you will experience rude bartenders here and they have no manners or respect and will definitely man handle women in a horrible way...I heard rumors of this but I was giving them the benefit of the doubt..but I witnessed it first hand after something totally got out of hand and got caught up in the abuse by the unprofessional staff.

The owners and bartenders are all ignorant, rude and disrespectful to patrons. Food is not good. Old generation patrons and music, overpriced drinks in plastic cups. save your time and money and find somewhere else.

One Yelper wrote about this place: Clientele is locals, friends of the bands and a regular mix of bikers, shady characters and low life types. And this is bad how??? It's a 'clean' dive bar. I'm not a local or a band groupie - been there several times - never an issue, always polite and friendly bar wenches (said with affection!), It may not be hip enough for millennials or snowflakes, but if you grew up drinking Bud Light in a can and want a water view of PVD, this is a pretty good place to go.

A guide to East Providence: Because what else can you do?

A note to readers: A version of this story was originally published the day after the westbound side of the Washington Bridge closed. On Monday, state officials acknowledged their original three-month estimate to repair the bridge is out the window , and that a full rebuild is one potential outcome. Given that news, and the continued traffic headaches in East Providence even with temporary westbound lanes open on the eastbound side of Interstate 195, it appears that this story is still going to be relevant for awhile.

STUCK IN EAST PROVIDENCE — They say East Providence is the place where Townie pride never sleeps. And now, with the closure of westbound lanes of the Washington Bridge, it’s the place where Townie pride never leaves, either.

With the Rhode Island trafficmageddon upon us, the Boston Globe’s Rumford bureau has decided to put together this guide to East Providence. Because what else can we do? Try to drive somewhere? Ha! Hahaha! [sobs uncontrollably.]

This is for East Providence residents who are looking for a reminder of a favorite place to walk or bike. It’s also for Seekonkers and Swanseans who need a place to stop for provisions before they try to ford the river with their team of oxen. Mainly, though, it’s to pass the time until the state fixes this mess. It’s hitting East Providence particularly hard right, leading to long commutes, gridlocked local streets, and in some cases, distance learning for city schools.

Best places to eat

O Dinis: I’ve written and talked a decent amount about this Portuguese restaurant on Warren Avenue. Imagine how much I think about it! It’s really that good. Go on a Monday for fado night and really feel the saudade over the life we used to have.

Other options that people on social media suggested: Honeybird Kitchen and Cocktails , Sun & Moon Korean Restaurant , Red Bridge Tavern , Sax’s, Chong Qing House , Ourplace II Diner , Khaosan Thai Street Food , Jeff’s Pizza , Bella’s Italian Deli .

Best places to drown your sorrows with an alcoholic beverage

The East Providence Yacht Club , for the uninitiated, isn’t the Judge Smails type of yacht club. Think Keno and Bud Light, not cardigans and tax avoidance schemes. Before a recent renovation, it might have even been called a bit divey (in a good way). But the views, especially now that the old bridge to nowhere has been removed, are spectacular; you can see all the way to the faraway land that is Providence. And although some will miss the decrepit old bridge, the yacht club now gets to be the place where the bridge used to be. In Rhode Island, what’s better than that? Infrastructure that actually works? Ha! Hahaha! [sobs uncontrollably]

Other options: Skeff’s Pub , which is offering traffic jam specials . Wine events at Brands of Portugal . The brand-new Crook Point Brewing Company is trying to make the most of the situation by extending its hours. While you’re at the brewery, you can mull over my bold plan to lower the Crook Point Bascule Bridge and let us walk over “Stand By Me” style .

Best place to perk up with some coffee and a pastry

Taunton Avenue is probably going to be one of the most challenging places in the known universe (i.e. Rhode Island) for the foreseeable future, so it’s only right that you should stop by a couple of the bakeries and cafes there. Cafe Zara is absolutely top notch, my No. 1 choice in the city. Taunton Avenue Bakery is a great place for an espresso and a pastel de nata. You’ll need it. Elsewhere, Borealis Coffee Company in Riverside is not to be missed.

Best place to get outside

Turner Reservoir in Rumford takes about an hour to walk all the way around — the same amount of time it’ll take you to drive a couple blocks in some parts of East Providence these days. The scenery is much nicer to look at than your dashboard. You might have to get creative when parking , but as for traffic, the most you’ll find is some nice ducks and geese swimming in the water. Honk honk.

Other options: The Ten Mile River Greenway . The East Bay Bike Path might actually be the best way to get to Providence these days. (Maybe they’ll actually plow it when it snows while the Washington Bridge is being worked on?)

Best arts, culture, and history

Knock knock. Who’s there? Not the governor on the day of the closure ! I kid, I kid. Seriously, though, folks, those are the sorts of jokes you definitely will not hear at the Comedy Connection , a club in East Providence that gets good acts.

Other options: The Crescent Park Carousel . The bar/music venue/vintage store Myrtle is getting rave reviews. The 133 Club has live performances. And last but not least: The John Hunt House at Hunt’s Mills is really nice, taking you back to the age of getting around on a horse and buggy. Man, those were the days.

East Providence ‘bridge to nowhere’ is now gone

After decades of doing little but collecting rust, the last remaining section of the india point railroad bridge was removed even more quickly and easily than expected.

EAST PROVIDENCE – It has survived hurricanes and hardships, wayward vessels and all manner of vandals. But on Tuesday afternoon, one of the last remaining chunks of the India Point Railroad Bridge was lifted from its pilings and floated downriver.

After decades of doing little but collecting rust, the last remaining section of the bridge was removed even more quickly and easily than expected: Workers maneuvered a barge under the bridge. Workers had unfastened the bridge from the pilings so that when the tide rose, the bridge would rise with it on the barge. The barge, now with a bridge chained to it, pulled out and down the Seekonk River.

The Army Corps of Engineers-led operation was supposed to happen at 5 p.m, but by 4:45 p.m., people riding their bikes on the George Redman Linear Path toward East Providence could have glanced to the right and seen the bewildering sight of an old railroad bridge floating away like a twig down a babbling stream.

From there, it was brought to a scrap yard on Allens Avenue in Providence.

Folks, I missed the bridge being removed -- it happened at like 4:40 instead of 5 -- although I did get some video of it being floated away from George Redman Linear Park pic.twitter.com/vU4pIXyO2g — Brian Amaral (@bamaral44) April 18, 2023

Its history goes back to an earlier era of the state’s transportation system, when trains rumbled from India Point to East Providence along a bridge that’s existed in some form or another since the 1800s.

The most current version was built in the early 1900s. It was a swing bridge, meaning one part of it could open to let boats pass, or close to let trains pass.

It sat unused for decades, though, until the early 2000s, when the swing portion of the bridge, the one that connected to Providence, was removed. The rest of the bridge was left there for another day.

“They forgot about East Providence,” remarked Mayor Bob DaSilva.

That was until late last month. Council President Bob Rodericks has advocated for years to remove the bridge, saying it could open up an underused area of the waterfront in East Providence. The Army Corps of Engineers project began in late March, under a more than $1 million contract with J.F. Brennan Company, Inc. Another chunk of the bridge had already been floated down the river earlier in the project. On Tuesday, they got the rest of anything that resembled a span. Pilings are still there, but they should be gone in the coming weeks.

The India Point Railroad Bridge is on the other side of the Washington Bridge from the Crook Point Bascule Bridge, which is also disused but charismatically sticking up out of the water. The status of the preservation of that bridge is, so to speak, up in the air.

Rodericks said removing the Indian Point Railroad Bridge could be one part of a broader revitalization of the waterfront area.

“I’m thinking about the vision for our new waterfront – it’s going to be amazing,” Rodericks said as he was watching the bridge float away.

Part of the operation required the adjacent East Providence Yacht Club moving some of its pilings to make room for the machinery; it got a loan from the city to do so. But it did not require, as some had originally thought, a crane. Instead they used natural buoyancy, some chains, and a barge outfitted with big wooden blocks to do the trick. The only hard part seemed to be when the bridge first started to move; some on scene worried it might hit the yacht club, but it did not.

Mikel Perry has been going to the yacht club his whole life. Family members have owned at least part of it since it opened in 1948. In 2005, he bought out his uncle and became the owner himself. The bridge has been a big presence there, literally, the whole time.

Suddenly on Tuesday it was not. A few dozen people were on hand, many sipping Miller Lites out of koozies, to mark the occasion.

The removal of the bridge will allow Perry to reconfigure his slips, and it afforded a clearer view to the other side of the river. It even seemed like more sunlight was getting through.

Still, it will take some getting used to, Perry said.

“It looks so strange, being empty,” he said. “I don’t think it’s sunk in yet.”
