Needle and Thread

I’d definitely come back to Needle & Thread the next time I’m in Rhode Island. It seems like a popular spot for both drinks and food. The drinks were great, and the waiter was incredibly kind, she even adjusted my drink when it came out a bit too spicy, which I really appreciated. The calamari was a little on the salty side, but still tasty overall. I had a great time here, it was great vibe and would absolutely return!

Found this event on IG that was at Needle & Thread so my fiancé and I went. The music was great and the service was great. I didn’t catch the waitresses name but she was very attentive. The food was good and the drinks were good. Our first drink wasn’t a full glass but her recommendation on the next drink was good and it was a full glass.

The first and among the best places we have been to in Providence. This speakeasy had a DJ on Tuesday night playing great music and serving up fantastic cocktails and food! The Harissa Mussels are my absolute favorite and the chicken biryani was a close second. Love the drinks, food, and how nice the waiter was to us. Highly recommended. This place is a rare gem!

Looking for a speakeasy with good drinks while in Providence for the weekend for my brother's wedding. I came across Needle & Thread and it did not disappoint! First off, I had a reservation for a party of 5. We were running late and when I called to inform them, they were super accommodating and sat us as soon as we arrived. To sip, I had the Father's Old Fashioned which was a play on your standard old fashion with chocolate bitters and espresso. It was so good! Needle & Thread was an unexpected vibe. They played mostly R&B, hip-hop and some Afrobeats. After 11, a DJ came through and it got packed pretty quickly. When in Providence again, this would definitely be a spot I'd come to again.

My partner and I visited on a Saturday, early evening and despite the place not being busy, the servers tended to take long with asking for our orders and bringing the check. We started with the fish tacos which were the highlight of the night. I had the N&T Rice Bowl it was delicious but I could’ve done without the grapes and pineapples. Yuck. My partner had the Royale With Cheese which was delicious as well but the fries were overly seasoned. I had the Fruta & Fuego drink which was good but the salt/sugar rim it comes with was disgusting. The atmosphere was chill for the most part but on a cold Winter evening the last thing you want is the fan blowing at your neck. Overall Needle & Thread has some major improvements to work on. It’s like they almost got it but it’s not there yet.
