McBride's Pub — Restaurant in Providence

Amazing drinks, good friendly laid back staff despite being busy. However, because they don't have enough staff, we never got refills on our water and the tables were missing seasoning and napkins. Food also took almost 45 minutes to come out. It's clear they need another person or two helping around.

The biggest downside and the reason this isn't 4-5 stars however is, the food was bland, absolutely bland. It was clear from 4 different dishes that not even salt or pepper was used on any of it. I literally took pieces of food off and visually inspected - nothing. Plain potatoes. Plain corned beef. Plain nachos... plain everything. Instead, oddly, every single dish came with parsley and sour cream, as if that'll do anything.

They have some really unique foods too but it could be so much better. I ended up dumping salt, pepper, and hot sauce on all my food to make it palatable.

Lastly, all the dishes seemed a tad pricey. Perhaps it's the location?

Still, if I pass by again, perhaps I'd stop in, especially for their unique tasty drinks. Then again, there's so many Irish places in town that simply have better...

We walked into this place with 11 people and were greeted with such politeness. We were looking for a place to unwind after a long stressful weekend visiting a sick family member. We were made to feel at home right away by the bartender Kevin. When we went to our table, we were immediately greeted by our server Tina who was an absolute delight. Tina was very attentive and made us feel like we were her best customers. Tina and Kevin did a fantastic job of making sure our beverages were always full. I can't say enough about the great service we received. The food was amazing, we had several appetizers and entrees, all delicious. I don't write a ton of reviews, but Tina and Kevin earned our praise and are deserving of a great review. Bottom line, stop in for great service and food. Loved...

One of the few real Irish pubs in Providence. They have tvs if you’re trying to catch a football game. Or any game.

Hands down, the best pub. And I’ve made my way around the pubs in this city. Their outdoor covered patio just opened up. Great place for a group. Great energy, great vibe.

A bar for the community, a bar for Brown, a bar if you’re just passing through. The drinks are on point. And the menu is diverse and incredible. I’ve eaten most things off the menu.

Shepard Pie is my favorite. Filling and homey. Wings are great. Burgers are real and heavy. Fish and chips are so good.

Be sure to check out their specials when you’re in, always...
