Wild Colonial

This is a sweet family owned bar steeped in history where the drinks are affordable and the vibe is mellow. I WISH that these some walls could talk. I wonder what they would say 🤔 They have bar food but I would only eat here in the case of emergency, don't come here if you are truly hungry -- they only have a microwave to make nachos and reheat mac and cheese. The drinks are reasonably priced and there is a pretty good dart board (ask for the darts at the bar) and a solid pool table. I would absolutely come back.

Still asking for vax cards, mandates are gone and the bar tender still thinks they have special privliges. I'm vaccinated for the record, but I don't think the college kid pouring me drinks has a right to look into that. In fact if you want to be looking into people's medical records open a doctor's office. It's uncomfortable 😣 and I'm not sure what purpose it serves, I'm pretty sure you can't refuse to serve people that aren't vaccinated. All they can do is ask them to wear a mask. But you can't drink beer with a mask on which means they're going to walk away and immediately take the mask off to drink..... So it's an uncomfortable and pointless policy that immediately makes you feel like you don't want to be there the second you walk in the door. There's no way around it that's negative 10 points for service and they pour the same beer everywhere. One star. Change your silly policy you can go back up to 4.

Awesome colonial factory style building. Beautiful! The beers are interesting (Belgians, porters and stouts) Food is great on portions and toppings. Great place to take a date.. or a group. Definitely has ambiance.. I you listen you can probably hear the ombudsman of old talking about old providence port!

The Wild Colonial is the kind of place you can sneak in at 7:30 on a Tuesday night for a scotch and a pint and a quiet conversation, and by 8 it's jam packed. The tavern balances a nice old world feel with a clean modern attitude very well, and has an excellent selection of whiskies and an ok selection of regional beers. Prices are more or less what you'd expect. The open rustic colonial feel of the place is almost a surprise considering how unassuming the hole in the wall doorway looks. The location is very convenient to downtown, so there's no reason to think about a car. I'll definitely come back the next time I'm in Providence.

I absolutely love this bar! Amazing whiskey selection (pappy, stagg, other tasty rarities), nice blend of local and non local brews. The atmosphere is great. The exposed brick and stone complement the rich history this bar possesses. Come by and grab a whiskey or beer, shoot a game of pool or try your luck with the darts!

Been to this bar a few times. Service is usually subpar, servers are rude and the selection of alcohol is very minimal. Nothing very memorable about this place other than how filthy the bathrooms are. They allegedly care so much about covid precautions yet the bartenders and servers don't even wear their masks. If they do, they have their nose outside of the mask. If I could leave no stars I would because they do not deserve it. Providence smells in general but this place is the epicenter of the garbage.
