Providence's Best Outdoor Bar 2007

Fine waterfront dining in an unpretentious setting, enjoyed by the best-dressed set and khakis-clad tourists alike.

Reviews:

• “Yummy steak sauce!”
• “DElicious steak, great lobster fritters, great service”
• “Still looking for favorite restaurant of all time”
• “22 Bowens - It is nothing impressive- all talk no food”
• “BEWARE THE WINE PRICES”

Tips: Because the tiny lot at Bowen’s Wharf is usually full, head two blocks down to Sayer’s Wharf, or look for a spot at the Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina on America’s Cup Avenue.

22 Bowen’s Wine Bar & Grille

With its waterside location and early opening hour, this laid-back, rustic bar is perfect for your inner slacker.

Reviews:

• “The Bartenders are terrible!!!!!!!!”
• “Great place spring to fall”
• “Longevity tells it all”
• “a real biker hang out place. its been in business for 25 years and what can you say . anyone who enjoys night life has been to the hot club”
• “Great place, could use better servers”

Tips: Have a brush with Hollywood greatness with a seat at the same booth as Ben Stiller and Matt Dillon in “There’s Something About Mary.”

Hot Club

A music venue that first and foremost beckons pool players and their friends who love them.

Reviews:

• “Fun time, Good prices, Good people”
• “This is a great place, but there are better…”
• “Get Snookered!!!”
• “To the Stooge Who Rated Snooker’s A Yuk.”

Tips: If you don’t get here early, chances are you’ll have to stand with your beverage. To get off your feet, head over to The Green Room, a dimly lit cocktail lounge within the pool hall with another bar and intimate tables.
