the abbey

best kept secret!. i could go back to the abbey over and over again- the food is that good! it's a smallplacewith so much attitude. it's vivacious atmosphere makes you feel so welcome. the option to substitute a portabella mushroom cap in for a beef patty in all of there burgers is awesome. not to mention the fries and homemade chips are to die for. probably my favoriteplaceto eat at in providence thus far.

thisplacefreaking sucks if you're a lesbian. everyone is either a gay man or a straight couple.... we got table service. spent lots of dollars and couldn't find one lesbian in theplacebesides ourselves. don't go het looking for lesbian love.

my death row last meal. best burgers in providence, hands down. theplacehas a reputation as kind of a dive, and it is, but it isn't that bad either. the bathrooms are that bad, but theplaceitself is a typical college pub and i actually like the darkened quality the black ceiling brings to the place. i would avoid thisplaceon weekend evenings when school is in session because it is definitely a pc hangout and it isn't very big.

they have a vast beer selection but my draft was flat. could be an exception, but watch out for it. safest bet is to drink the less exotic drafts which are probably replaced more often and are fresher as a result. regardless, i would consider the burgers as worthy of a death row last meal.

i would probably say thisplacehas the best bar food in the state...bar none! the burger menu is terrific, sides are all homemade and atmosphere is great! hidden treasure!

fabulous onion rings!. thisplaceis a great spot for watching the game and having some beers. the food is very good, and they have the best onion rings i have ever tasted. the interior is fun and sporty, and many of the people who patron here know eachother. good spot!

if you've ever been to the abbey you know it's a scene. absurdly in-shape bartenders in tight tank tops, ridiculously good cocktails (love the raspberry mojito - albeit pricey), and a serious dance-a-thon at night. their food is even pretty darned good, especially brunch - just wish they had bottomless mimosas too! as with most sbe owned spots - theplacetends to be rather $$$. but luckily, they have a kick-ass happy hour mon-fri from 4-7pm where everything is just five bucks. the abbey happy hour mon-fri, 4-7pm food deals: $5 abbey nachos, quesadillas, mac n'cheese, chicken tenders, onion rings, buffalo wings, & more booze deals: $5 martinis, wells, beers, wine, caiparinhas, and mojitos (even the raspberry!!!) . the abbey was voted the best gay bar in the world by mtv and it's obvious why - it is always busy, it is always fun, the food is always good, and the drinks are alway

food and drink - both good!. despite the 70s "abbey" architecture, theplacewas well maintained, lively and the food was far superior to any "bar food" i've had in a long time. i ate a burger and a wedge salad.

for those that haven’t been to the abbey, theplaceis huge. there are 4 bars, 3 indoor & 1 outdoors. it was nice to see that even during happy hour 2 of the 4 bars were open
