Providence Phoenix readers have voted Snookers Pool Lounge the Best Pool Hall in Rhode Island for three straight years. This versatile spot on the edge of downtown in Providence's Jewelry District, features 16 pool tables, the Skyline Patio Bar and also serves food and drink into the late hours. Snookers is home to The Green Room, where rockabilly, pop, alternative and garage music from Rhode Island, Boston and New York is performed in an intimate environment with no cover charge. Pool table rates start at $6.50 per hour, $20 to enter tournaments on Mondays and Wednesdays. Food served includes pizza, burgers and grinders.
Urban chic yet laidback at the same time, Askew is much more than a restaurant. Here, you’ll find just about every form of entertainment; any genre of music, from acoustic, blues and pop to comedy shows with local up-and-coming acts performing every night. Retro memorabilia and artworks of local artists adorn the wall and add more character to the place. One of the interesting features of this restaurant is that everything on the menu from chicken tenders to Cajun Shrimp and Sausage is served on a stick. A thriving entertainment venue, and a restaurant, it is the melting pot of the culturally inclined patrons of Providence.
