BAR COMEBACK Deadbeats
The former E & O Tap sat decrepit and graffitied for years until owners Jeff Angell and Courtney Tallerico rose it from the dead as Deadbeats . They stayed true to the original layout while freshening up the bar and brought in quirky attractions like a fiberglass Ronald McDonald statue — now the luckiest guy in town ( check Instagram for proof ). There are free pinball games , a digital jukebox and a neon sign featuring an expletive that explains exactly how we feel when we walk through the door . 289 Knight St ., Providence , 383-1489 , instagram . com / deadbeats _ pvd
