Bottles has very fair prices on their whiskey and a surprisingly great selection. Their sister business is The East End on Wickenden and they have hundreds of whiskies from all around the world. Great spot to try before you buy.

Reply to comment by BingBong022 in Buying Good Whisky by hand_truck_ham

I do not recommend this. I bought it because it’s local and heard it was good.

It’s expensive and frankly not as good as bottles costing significantly less. Love to try local stuff, but paying more for poor bourbon isn’t worth it.

Town wine and spirits has a great selection of whisky, Clift's in Riverside had been building a good collection that's cheaper than expected if a little narrower than summer places

Reply to Meetup apps? by jahvape000

Meetup has Cozy Rhody and Providence Bike Jam, among other groups. I go on group hikes with the Hike-RI and Walks and Rambles groups there as well. Poke around a bit, and you might find something that fits your interests!

They absolutely better not fucking sell holy shit, they've been around since I was a kid.

No matter who buys it, you HAVE to retain those bakers (many of whom may be family and will be leaving with the others). Like, how do you succeed here?

Bottles and Nikki’s are the best in Providence that I know of. Really good selection at both places, though Bottles is probably a bit pricier since it’s over by Wayland Square.
