The Avery - Providence

Cool Art Deco Bar. We stopped year one Tuesday evening and it was a very chill, if not some what, dark atmosphere. They have a great cocktail list and the space – amazing tin ceiling tiles and stunning laser cuts at the bar – is super cool. Great bar to relax for a date or small group gathering. TL,DR: Cozy (read: very small) bar Excellent Cocktails Cool atmosphere

To me this is considered a dark bar and it is a very nice bar. I'm friendly with the bartender Stewart or Stewie as he goes by and Kelly very personable very friendly they know every drink on the menu and very attentive to your needs. If you're out on a date for an evening either before or after an event it's a great place to visit it's quiet sedate and the atmosphere is so quaint being such a dark bar and having such good service they have couches and tables along with a bar.

If a zero star could be given.; I’d do so. The service from the female bartender there is horrible. Felt discriminated against from the very beginning with my shorter female friend; calling her a “child”! Ask for an ID; No problem! Call her a child! Then you definitely deserve less in tip. When deciding to leave a littler tip; was instantly called out in front of the whole bar; the lonely female customer that clearly goes there every weekend wasnt making the situation any better. This place is not accepting of outsiders. Highly not recommended.

Went there with a group of four friends for my birthday and celebrating the end of the semester. It was our first time there and we were excited because it had good reviews. Environment was nice, drinks were great. Honestly, we were excited to have found a new spot. However, it had turned very quickly. We had been there for maybe 30 minutes when one of the male bartenders with white hair and a flannel approached us and said “so I see two of you are drinking and three of you are not, so you can’t use these barstools, please stand instead.” Meanwhile, no one was waiting to use the barstools because the bar didn’t even have enough people to occupy the entire bar and we had been there not even enough time to finish our drinks. It would have been a different story if the bar was packed and extra seats were needed. Maybe not even 30 people total in the entire bar on a Friday night. Will NOT be going back. EVER. Needless to say, we left the bar upset that our friends who weren’t drinking weren’t allowed to use their UNOCCUPIED seats. We planned on staying here for the night but we happily took our service elsewhere.

We had a wonderful time to list stories with Kelly and Billy. They made great drinks and we're happy to hang out with them tomorrow night.
