East Providence Yacht Club

Seems like they have put some effort into cleaning this place up since I had been here last (a few summers ago). Looked like it had been hit with some paint and redecorating (they also added a wood burning stove near the bar - which was nice on this cold & snowy night)

Went this past weekend to see a Motown / R & B group. Was a little taken a back when I ordered 2 bud lites and was brought cans...but I guess not everything has changed at this water front establishment.  Lol.

Still a great place to have a few drinks for cheap while avoiding the traffic and nonsense of Downtown Providence!

Can't wait for spring to come down and enjoy the deck!

Weekly drinks specials. Great deck. No foul language ( sort of). Breaded squid rings. The kitchen in only open Friday thru Sunday during winter months.

It's a dive bar.
On the water.
Cash only (with an ATM located on-site).

We enjoyed a sunny Sunday afternoon here with a few friends, just as it was creeping into warm enough temps to sit outside.  We ordered our beers and a glass of chardonnay (henceforth known as the "cup o'wine") by the server behind the bar who immediately greeted us upon entering.  Definitely a locals joint with lots of bikers, but we had been in the market for a place to replace Topside (closed, reopened as Agave), and this is it.

The deck looks relatively new, and it looks like there is room for live music to the side - I noticed advertisements for bands, but none was there that particular day.  There are no-frills slips which we believe indicate transient slip availability for the passing mariner looking to come onto land for refreshment.

A limited greasy-spoon type menu, pool table, an old-school video game or two, and generous pour (my cup o'wine) added to the water view looking over to Waterman Grille, Stuck-up Bridge (aka: Crook Point Bascule Bridge), and India Point Park with plenty of outdoor seating make this a new favorite dive bar.

Nothing fancy, but it definitely has it's niche.  
To be determined if they are an official 'yacht club'.  If they are: we're joining and will fly the EPYC flag.  Oh yeah.
