The Stable

Great service the bartenders were so fabulous and super friendly they have the best sangria in providence. I can't wait to go back next time I'm visiting RI

This bar has some of the rudest staff I've ever met. They make asking for a drink feel like it's a big inconvenience for them. Aside from having bad attitudes and giving poor customer service, the "sangria" that everyone talks about was awful. The bathrooms were also pretty gross and it wasn't even 9 o'clock. The cherry on top of being in this small brick dungeon, would have to be watching the obese bartender hit on a group of very young guys, that clearly weren't interested, and when my friend asked for another drink he replied "I'm busy, you can wait". Not a great way to kick off an evening!

Good drinks. The bartender is nice and the service is superb!   would recommend a friendly place for a drink!

A great place to come and get a strong drink!  I really enjoy this bar and although it's small, it's a fun time.   Bar tenders are nice and attentive to the patrons.  It's clean and the music they play is upbeat.  

Try the sangria.

Great music! Horrible service!!
I've been here a couple of times and have consistently been disappointed with the service. They seriously need to step it up! He drinks are weak and served with total attitude.

I definitely don't recommend this place and would suggest trying other similar bars in the area. Disappointing all around!

I love this bar. As a straight couple we come with a few single gay friends. It's always warm and inviting. Very tasteful as well. They make THE BEST sangria, EVER! It's on the small side but they do have a patio out back. Do yourself a favor and come try sangria, and dance the night away to great music.

Being in the industry in downtown Providence, and former management myself I was appalled. It's one thing to stop serving but it's another thing when the manager (I believe Matt) himself offer's sass and attitude towards a patron. He must've been inebriated. I personally will not recommend this spot. I wouldn't subject anyone to a childish and disrespectful demeanor. Not the vibe...  

I'd be damned if any staff talked to any of the bar patrons as I witnessed tonight. Food for thought.

But check it out, could've just been an off night.

In fairness, if I could give this place 3.5 stars, I would. And, sure, I could round up, but I'm not quite a fan yet. And I've been here twice.

The Stable is loud, upbeat, and fun, fun, fun. However, the most fun seems to taking place behind the bar. On both occasions I've been there, bartenders galore (no fewer than four) laughed and smiled and delightfully joked around... with each other. On both occasions, my friends and I, and/or other patrons waited a bit too long for service to order our drinks - at times the bartenders are talking to one another on one side of the bar. Just an observation, but a sorta obvious one.

The drinks/cocktails themselves are hit or miss, depending on the bartender. Some are expert at making a cocktail, and some whip them up in a rather "Cancun-ish" way, by which I mean way too much alcohol, the kind of drink that leaves a trail of destruction down one's esophagus. To each their own.

All this to say... I'll be back. The Stable is lively and fun, and filled with cool, chatty bar goers. And, so many people there were imbibing on the Sangria, that I'm determined to give one a try. Determined, I say.

But, yes, three stars for now.

Great neighborhood bar catering all walks of life.     There's a patio in the back that is open during the warm months.

Depending on the day of the week or month, there are drink specials, live shows, nice community events, etc.

It can get very crowded and there's not a lot of seating, but a nice place to listen to some nice music and watch some cool videos.

Incredibly friendly staff. I moved here a month ago and I've come every day to read my books and made many sweet, lovely friends. Everyone is welcoming and they just want people to have a good time and be friendly with others.

Drinks are relatively cheap, and very good quality. No watering down. Nice patio shared with viva Mexico.

I bring my cat all the time and everyone has helped her get used to humans and they are very patient.

Much love from Gabi, thank you all for making me feel welcome
