Went to Bar 101 for my first time a few weeks ago, and was pleased with my experience. Â Even though it's a small bar, it has a decent amount of seating, and a fun and young environment. Â
The bartenders were very nice, and eager to give suggestions. Â I had a beer which was typical, but I was very impressed by the food. Â I went on a Wednesday when they do 25 cent wings, and they were delicious. Â I got the Bar 101 wings which were a mix of barbecue, buffalo, and honey mustard and they were delicious. I also had a buffalo chicken wrap which was good as well.
Overall, I would rate this as a good place to grab a beer or a quick bite to eat.
Came into Bar 101 for my first visit to Johnston. As we were walking into the bar i noticed that the Jersey Shore was playing on some of the TV's which i thought was very appropo considering it's located in Pauly D's hometown.
We got to pick our own place to sit and the waitress came over promptly to ask for drinks. My balsamic chicken wrap was great and i got  some of the best onion rings i've ever had in RI. The service was great, and the bartenders/ servers were very attentive. The only thing i didn't like was the napkins they gave us which got lint all over me. My black shirt was covered in little lint pieces which i was unable to get off until i got home later that night.
They have 25 cent wings on Wednesdays (which aren't really my thing) and great deals for food/drink during football games. They also have trivia on Monday nights which i thought was pretty cool too.
I bought a Groupon for this place and we decided to try it out on 25c wing Wednesday. Â We didn't have a sitter so I called ahead to see if it was ok to bring my little boy if we went early enough for dinner and they were cool with it. Â We went at 5:30 and there were maybe 5 other people there so we felt very comfortable bringing him in. Â It's set up just like any other restaurant with a bar, plenty of tables and relatively quiet. Â It's very nice inside, set up with tvs showing different channels (sports and shark week I believe, very man friendly). Â The food is bar casual but the menu really intrigued us, everything sounds very appetizing. Â We ordered 20 wings, a loaded potato grilled pizza, and an order of sweet potato fries. Â Everything tasted very good.. next time I would ask if they had a spicier buffalo sauce as they were a bit too mild for our taste, but other than that we were very pleased. Â (Probably my fault for just ordering buffalo wings and not asking or specifying "hot"). The wings were crispy which we enjoy, and the pizza crust was thin and crunchy. Â The sweet potato fries were nicely done as well, just enough salt. Â Our waitress was super nice, we will definitely return. Â (But next time we'll get a sitter, my son wouldn't sit still for anything)! Â Note: If you get the Groupon it is not valid on 25c wings since they are already discounted, it does not say that on the Groupon. Â Didn't make a difference for us though since we got other stuff. Â The food is very reasonably priced.. even with a soda, a beer, and a bottled water we JUST hit $20, then the wings were only $5.. with tax our total was $7 (after Groupon). Â Based on the photos on their website it gets hopping after dark with a very Jersey Shore crowd.
