  I don't know about the food, but I have always had fun in this place. The drinks a reasonable  and the jukebox has my favorite tunes. It does get very crowded on the weekends however.

  Me and my boys refer to Gillarys as " A sea of mediocrity".. Ive never walked into a bar and seen such a high volume of 4's in my life!!
  
  This is the perfect place to go if you are in a serious slump and need to hook up with some         thing to boost your self esteem but also want to hate yourself the next day. But on the bright side, you've probably made some girl's year because you are the first guy she's hooked up with in ages that has all of your teeth and are gainfully employed (I would never do such a thing, but my friends, yes)
  
  Cheap beers.. Best part; this dude rolls in at last call with a large pan of calzones and sells them for $3 a pop.. after a night of blasting $2 Coors Lights from a plastic cup and talking to girls with low self esteem, these calzones taste like Mario Botalli himself hand crafted them ..

  College bar scene with the local bar scene. Live music or dj's. Music is loud, the beer is cold with cheap pitchers. Pool table, air hockey, and not a bad spot. A good time for what it is. After a couple pitchers.....yea exactly. Expect teeney boppers to start trouble on occassion...its just more entertainment really. One night they had a big booty dance competition.....so goddamn funny......

  Roger Williams bar crowd.  Occasional fights outside - you know what you're getting when you go here.
  
  Occasionally worth it for rockin' out to a cheesy (in a good way) tribute or cover band - but otherwise - it is what it is.

  If you're into really really bad top 40 and ho'in it up and blind-grindin' yourself into whoever-the-fuck, you might totally dig this place.  Oh and you might be 19, also.  
  
  This is the Roger Williams University Meat Market.  If you're out to literally get retarded, this will work.
  
  I give it 2 stars, because I've seen some awesome shit-shakin' bands play here.  I'm not even sure if they have bands any more.   That was before the renovation.  I will say there is much more room with whole upstairs area now open.  And the balcony that overlooks the dance floor is a great place to scope out the absolute horseshit going on below.  
  
  The music is sooo goddamned bad, though!  I'd like to think I'll never go back again, but I have a feeling some random set of bullshit-stances will bring me in yet one more time for a Thursday of BS, Gillary's style.
