My wife and I stopped at Union station Brewery before visiting Providence Riverfire and had a great experience. I always like to try different beers and started off with their American IPA which was very good and finished with their lager which was equally good. I ordered fish and chips and was not disappointed. The cole slaw is different than any I have ever had and was so tasty. This was our second trip to this venue and I have not been disappointed yet.

On a busy Saturday night, we enjoyed prompt service and great atmosphere. Food is basic but tasty, and the mural art is divine.

This is right of Westminister St. in Providence. There is a lot of great craft beer and other drinks available. They also have pretzels....really good ones. That is kinda their menu however. There are pretzel bread sandwiches which are again fantastic. I would like to see a bit more expanded menu, but maybe I'm old and this is just a watering hole with pretzels lol. It was a good experience in the end. It can be loud.

Not exactly a welcoming spot. We came upon a nearly empty dining room and was still given the stink eye for not having a reservation. The food was fine. Cubing the steak was weird. Service was very slow

Dined here on the Pride Parade evening. Reservations were for 7 PM and we were promptly seated. The one issue I had immediately was that the hostess sat us at a table for Four and added one seat at the end. It made things pretty tight and uncomfortable. When I inquired about a bigger table/booth, she said they had some big party reservations coming in and couldn't accommodate. There was plenty of outdoor seating, but it was our first time and I didn't think to ask(and it was not offered). By the time we were leaving, inside the joint was like a ghost town. I found this pretty annoying because the hostess could have put us somewhere more comfortable. I can only speculate they were expecting a flood of people after the Pride Parade, but that would not have been until 9(parade was at 8), i.e. there was absolutely no reason not to sit us somewhere more comfortable or offer outdoor seating. Oh well, the rest of the evening made up for the annoyance. Service was great and burgers were awesome. Everything was priced moderately. Sangrias were good and they offered some decent beer options. We did have a hit or miss experience on the appies. Onion rings were delicious, but the fried calamari we received was horrendous. Overcooked and salty. It went untouched by all five people. Guess we should have gone with a traditional pub appie like the nachos. Despite the seating annoyance and the terrible calamari, the place is worth a visit. Burgers are the main attraction after all, and they lived up to the Trip Advisor hype. Waitress was wonderful and returned quite often to check on us.

Located in historic Federal Hill, Providence Oyster Bar stands out as Rhode Island"s premiere seafood house. Upscale, yet casual, the Providence Oyster Bar welcomes you to be spoiled by the freshest selection of oysters and clams.
Reviewed By SchruteFarmsBeets
Providence Oyster bar is located in a quirky part of Providence with plenty to do and free valet parking. It is unique in the fact that while being incredibly upscale, it has a bit of a sports bar feel. There were groups clearly having girls night out, families with children out for dinner, couples on dates, and guys in shorts and flip flops just watching the football game. It was a really nice atmosphere. On top of the atmosphere, the food was great, all of the food was fresh and delicious. My wife had the salmon oscar and I had the fried oysters, and we were both really impressed. I also had a spicy tuna roll that wasn't very spicy, and was pretty pricey at $13, but the tuna was very dark red and high quality, and tasted great. They also had a nice beer, wine, and cocktail selection. If you're in the area, give the place a try!
