Union Station Brewery (John Harvards)

Nice place right in the center of Providence. They had 6 taps of their own beers and another 6 cans. They did flights of 5 for 15$. Good pub food too.

Stopped in here last week During Homebrewcon. Nestled inside a courtyard that make it seem somehow outside the city. 10 -15 tables outside and at least triple that inside. Service was quite good, the beer and food were decent and the price was inline with what I'd expect to pay in the city.

Right downtown, this is a great location and is set-up very nicely. They had 6 house beers on tap and offered flights of 5 for $10++. Service was adequate. Beer quality wasn’t anything special, with most drinkable and nothing standing out. Forgettable beers but I liked the place itself.

So caught an early train from NYC to providence and rather than tell my family to pick me up I stopped in here for a few brews and cup of chowder. Nice location a little corporate feeling. Friendly bartender. 5 beers available the 2 I had were mediocre. Chowder was ok. For what it is not bad.

Visited on a quiet day shortly after they opened. We were pretty much alone other than the bartender and one other patron for the longest time. If you visit here, you will need to find parking somewhere else. There is nowhere to park close by other than metered spots a block or more away. Inside is an old pub type of feel. They had 8 beers on tap for my visit plus 1 cask, which they brought out and tapped while I was sitting at the bar. That was cool. The server was very helpful and attentive. She seemed to know her stuff. We talked about sour beer for more than half of my visit. All around, this place is decent. The beer won’t necessarily blow you away, but it’s decent and everything else is nice.

Visited this brewery some time ago. Quite commercial, nothing special. Beers did not have a lot of flavor. Came back on 11.12.2023. Still a very strange place. Loud Karaoke on a Monday evening. The IPA and the Burger were ok.

This a decent enough chain-style brewpub. Pretty reminiscent of a Rock Bottom from an ambiance perspective. I didn’t try the food, but the beers ranged from boring to quite nice. Really enjoyed the Vanilla Bean and Clove Stout. The regular line-up was less exciting. Bartender was friendly enough. Very conveniently located to our hotel, which was a major plus.

Classic pub fare and their own beers, very much like Trinity with slightly better food.

This has been here a while and for some reason I hadn’t been yet. Overall, not bad, kind of a chain-y feel, but overall it was an OK experience. Will be back.

A clean, well positioned brew pub serving good beer. We came in as the kitchen was closing but had eaten elsewhere anyway. The beers were fresh and served quickly. There were relatively few people in here late on a Thursday night.
