What Cheer Tavern

This place is under new ownership, don’t bother.

Have gone here three times, including right after the Brutopia event, just tried to go back but I guess they may have closed for the holiday. Neighborhood bar feel with a focus on national craft beer brands.

Small shed looking building off Allens ave by JWU harborside. Been a few times, selection seems to have gotten a lot more limited as of late. Revival/Ithaca/Founders. Which is a shame because RI has so many great breweries. Food menu super limited, hot dogs/tacos/wings, basically. They have an outdoor area when its nice, but haven’t been out there to check it out.

Small place, cozy and welcoming. Street parking. Can get crowded on the weekends, but comfortably so. Very friendly staff and locals, and tasty food. Good range of beers. Nice place.

A cozy, old Portugese bar, turned hip, local-food-friendly beer joint. This is a haunt of friends and my first visit was pleasant. The draft list is a little restricted, I thought, but I really appreciate a selection of affordable mostly New England bottles and cans. The liquor shelf had quite a few regional whiskies. My favorite part about the whole place was the food (with decent beer to pair): local chicken wings fried crispy and drenched in Thai-style sauce and sriracha-infused cheese fries. The owner was very friendly and all of the staff were quick, helpful, and cheerful. Looking forward to my next visit.

Tiny spot. Selection is impressive for such a small place with extremely limited taps. Have mostly a craft selection from the local area. Bottled stuff is craft in a fridge shown to the public. Staff seems very knowledgeable. Good vibe. Food was decent bar food. Decent spirits selection too. Worth visiting.

A great little place south of the city center on the corner of Allen and New York ave. A small and comfortable tavern with a great tap list centering on locals but with a few tasty treats from afar thrown in (12 taps). I didn’t try the food but it looked like a great menu. The pricing is very reasonable - it’s nice to see a new place coming in and not gouging like some other beer bars are now doing. I will be back the next time I’m in Providence. Cheers!
