    This is a great music venue that's not too big or small. Excellent selection of musical talent. Highly recommend! Memorial Day weekend Friday afternoon Spinach Salad w/ grilled Chicken cooked to perfection and Steph Harris and Donna to complete the hospitality! If you haven't been reservations are recommended on weekends. Not open Sunday or Monday.

    The open mic night was great. Make sure you go by on a Wednesday evening. Enjoy the music and April, she is the best server.

    I went there for the first time. The service as well the food was wonderful! The owner takes so much to pride in her business. Her work ethic is impeccable.

    Found this place via RI Food Fights (Wings) Really fun spot. Live music, great wings, cool vibe. Definitely would return for an evening out.

  • 5/5 Lori R. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a nice atmosphere to relax in and enjoy a cocktail or an appetizer or meal. Listen to jazz or blues whichever band is playing it's always great.

    Strings is the friendly, almost well-lit, clean and casual watering hole with vibe that I want to walk into after work or on a night out. Stephanie and Kevin are great hosts, the liquor and beer selection is high-end, and the kitchen puts out 5-star offerings at cheap date prices. Seriously, the food is excellent, and I've got some years in the restaurant business- these people have a good thing working. The live music scene is vibrant at Strings, with some really fine artists, and acoustic and electric combos bringing groovy sounds nightly. They like organic musicianship and professionalism at Strings, and that's what you get. I'd recommend Strings as a top contender for the local dining out and entertainment scene, and as a fine location for a first date- which is about as good a recommendation as I can probably make! No need to thank me, lol.

    I went March 17th, St Paddy’s day. I never go out on that day. It was so much fun! 2 music sessions that were completely different. Incredible talent! Food was excellent! Service was slow but in no way their fault. The had no help! Typical issue hurting these types of venues. I will go back again on a Thursday night for sure. Great job Strings!!!!

    We saw the Blue FOs there last night. The pretzel bites and mozzarella wedges with the outstanding margaritas made the even more special. Im going back on Wednesday for the open 🎤 with Lori. Love it

  • 5/5 Chris M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place with Live music. I haven't eaten there yet. Staff and other customers are friendly. Just a great place. I have been back since my review. I had very good calamari and a delicious prime rib sandwich. I had a couple of well made old fashions and met a few good people. I had a great night. The LIVE band was Billy and the Jets. They rocked the place.

  • 5/5 Kayla G. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun place to have a bite and watch a cool band. The line up of entertainment is never ending, check the list. You won't be disappointed. Not a big place so make a reservation for either a table or bar seat, yes it's that popular!

  • 5/5 Sheryl G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for local music and the food is very good.

  • 5/5 Chris H. 1 year ago on Google
    1st off a great bar with the added benefit of a live music venue. Oh and they have food. And not just bar food, chef food. I never expected the quality of the food I had at this bar. Resturant, chef quality food. A good variety of choices too. Definatly a hidden jem

  • 5/5 MaryAnn M. 6 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Linda T. 9 months ago on Google
    My first time here. Not sure why I never even knew this place existed. I met a friend there; he had dinner and I just had drinks. While I did taste his food it was delicious. And the cocktails were superb. Nice outside patio area and great live music. The wait staff was very attentive without being overly so. Definitely can't wait to go back and try dinner.

  • 5/5 Linda d. 7 months ago on Google
    Thank you for fantastic night , delicious food , Drinks and service . My favorite was the minestrone soup compliments to chief. I loved it so much I got 2 bowls to go. Tasted just like my mom's. Thank again ♥️

  • 4/5 Ken K. 7 months ago on Google
    Went there with daughter for our bi-monthly date night. Jen (aka Jenny aka Jennifer) our server was Ms. Personality Plus. Food was not of highest quality but will still return to try other items on menu. Entertainment seemed to be of quality performers, but didn't stay to enjoy their first set. One thing that was great was upon leaving, patrons we passed voluntarily said their goodbyes. Never experienced that. Surely will return.

    The Baked Stuffed Scrod was so delicious! The chocolate martini was great! The service was top notch. The Racky Thomas Band played. They were fantastic and the owner is great!

  • 5/5 Ashley 3 years ago on Google
    We had my boyfriend's 40th birthday at Strings this September and it was one of the best times we have had. Stephanie did an amazing job decorating and taking care of the whole setup under the tent; with the band playing that night it made for a wonderful evening and even though it was busy the girls did a wonderful job taking care of all of us and making sure we were satisfied. The food was excellent and higher class than you would typically expect at a bar and grill I would highly recommend Just an evening out to have dinner there or to have an event; it was a wonderful time and thank you very much again Stephanie you were awesome.

  • 5/5 Kathleen G. 4 years ago on Google
    Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food as well as the awesome house band. I will definitely be going back.

    Great live music!

  • 1/5 Dianne A. 3 years ago on Google
    We enjoy this place up until recently . If you plan to sit at a table to listen to the band , you will be told that the tables was reserved for people who are having dinner and yet the table remains empty all night . You will be shuffled off your table that you have been sitting at for awhile , to sit in the back lounge next to the bathrooms. Very disappointed. !!
