The Rosendale has been around for about 7 years in downtown Providence. It's a neighborhood bar that host many special events, so during Providence street events, they usually close off the street and have a nice block party in front of their doors. I like the burgers, wraps and appetizers. Not badly priced and freshly made. The last time I had the wrap, it was a nice bulky portion with tender and moist meat inside. The fries were ok, not too crispy but not bad. This GastroPub is set up as a comfortable neighborhood kitchen and bar that caters to professionals, students, families and all visitors to the city. It's housed in a historic building that dates back to the early 1900s, the owners took inspiration for the restaurant's name from its former tenants, Rosendale and Company, which was one of the first top hat companies in America. The owners set out to offer a casual and friendly place for people to hang out. The menu offers comfort food favorites with a gourmet twist. Everything is made to order. The crowd-pleasing menu includes flatbread pizzas, nachos, wraps, garden salads, grilled paninis, burgers and made-to-order sandwiches made with fresh and local ingredients.

CLOSED Went by on a Friday night at 8:30 pm. Totally dark. No one anywhere to be found.

It's permanently closed? Tried to visit 8:30pm Friday night so if a bar isn't open prime time, it isn't open

?The block party for Pride was lit. Handsome bartenders. Wish they had more drink specials that night though. It was a blast regardless! Dope vibes.

Over priced drinks. $32 for a cognac neat. No food well at least not consistently. The sound is mehh but the staff is kool as hell

We had a 15 % off coupon for the Cody Jinks show. Even that can’t save this place. This was by far the worst food experience of my life. Waiter and bartender were great. I ended up ordering the pork sliders. Cold, flavorless, shredded pork thrown on slider buns with chopped lettuce. No BBQ sauce, pickles or any flavor whatsoever. I really don’t know why I didn’t send them back and grab a bag of chips from the store around the corner to hold me over during our concert. I really can’t say anything good about the food, as 2 others in my party got the fried chicken sandwich and that wasn’t good either. The French fries were redeeming lol.

Went here before a show at the Strand. Didnt have rum, didnt have pinoit grigio. The fried pickles portion was tiny. Wanted Tacos they said no tacos tonight. Got chicken sandwhich. The fried chicken sandwhich didnt have the chipolte aioli on it or the pickles. I asked for pickles and said they were out, maybe why our order of fried pickles was tiny. The pulled pork in the pork shoulder sliders was lacking any taste or seasoning. $13 for a ceaser salad that was basically lettuce croutons and dressing. No bacon or cheese. Find someplace else to eat before a show ecspecially if it early in the week.

It was to be expected. I will say the customer service was on point. Enjoyed my drinks. Food was ok. I ordered a breakfast burrito and it was warm, so I’m not sure if was just heated up. The music and vibe is great there, so perhaps it’s best to just go and drink and socialize.

It was nice in there. Pretty small in space but nonetheless nice. I attended an art exhibition there. They had special guest Wu-Tang affiliate Shyhiem & Queensbridge/ Firm legend Cormega there.
Good spot close to everything for watching sports and drink beers with friends

No respect for noise ordinances. Makes the area unlivable.

We must have come on an “off” night. The vibe was a little off, my drink was just okay, and the service was just alright. It wasn’t during a block party or anything, so there wasn’t much going on. I’m sure it’s a lot more fun on those nights…

Drinks were okay but the service seemed more interested in hanging out with each other. The music was also having issues and occasionally blasting static. Probably won’t come back as there are plenty of other options nearby.
