THE ROYAL BOBCAT , PROVIDENCE Travel to 1920s New Orleans without leaving the state . This bar pays tribute to the Big Easy with saxy music and cat-centric artwork on the walls , plus velvet armchairs and exposed brick as the backdrop . The bar serves up potions including seasonal and tropical-style cocktails that are sure to fuel a fun night out . Try the Royal Hawaiian , a Hurricane or a spicy margarita . theroyalbobcat . com
MARCELINO ’ S , PROVIDENCE Settle into an intimate nook with drinks labeled by dominant flavors like the strawberry-infused vodka with herbal wine , pink grapefruit and lime and the cocktail made with baklava-spiced whiskey , sweet vermouth , blossom water and honey . Bartenders create most ingredients for the cocktail menu from scratch , including infused spirits , housemade syrups and dehydrated citrus and fruit garnishes . marcelinosboutiquebar . com
GLOU , PROVIDENCE The cocktail and wine bar from Alexa Trembly and Emory Harkins , the owners of Twenty Stories bookstore down the street , features a magical patio that ’ s three times the size as the interior . Cocktails are expertly mixed with housemade syrups and fresh pressed juices like the Palace with gin , Aperol and grapefruit and the Mariposa with mezcal , kiwi , pepino and lime . instagram . com / glou . pvd
PTX LOUNGE , PROVIDENCE The PTX stands for Pawtuxet , which is the village that surrounds this little bar that ’ s like an ode to the sea shanty . You halfway expect salty fishermen who look like the kitschy art on the walls to line up along the stools ( bright yellow rain slicker , pirate patch and corncob pipe , anyone ?). But barflies are mostly neighborhood regulars and friends of the bartenders ( isn ’ t everyone ?). 27 Aborn St ., Cranston , instagram . com / ptxlounge _ ri
