Best Cocktail Bars in Rhode Island

Providence holds every bar on this page, and its rooms run from members' lockers to spirit-free menus. The best cocktail bars in Rhode Island start with Loma, a 2025 Spirited Awards Regional Top 10 Honoree for Best New U.S. Cocktail Bar in the U.S. East, which went on to take the 2026 James Beard Award in the Best New Bar category. Courtland Club sells a Locker Membership that comes with one of its twelve bottle lockers. The Eddy rotates its house punch daily and keeps a spirit-free section, and Marcelino's Boutique Bar runs a Mediterranean-inspired speakeasy downtown with a sister bar on Boston's Seaport. The Red Door recommends booking ahead. These are the bars we would start with.
