Its old! Cool log cabin ambience. Held my boyfriend's surprise party here and we all had a good time. They have karaoke on the last Saturday of the month, which is what drew us there. The karaoke guys were great. Our bartender Bonnie was super nice, although I think she was busier than usual. There were two parties going on. Its small and dim. Didn't eat but those who did said the food was good.

I went here for dinner with my wife on a Saturday night and was immediately surprised by the lack of patrons during what should be one of the busiest nights for a restaurant. The interior is split into two separate rooms, each with their own bar and multiple TVs for viewing. Neither room was particularly inviting, with dark colors and low lighting conditions. We sat ourselves at a booth and waited a few minutes for one of the staff to come over. It appears that the bartenders also perform dual-duty as wait staff for diners and they seem unenthused about it. When our waitress/bartender came to our table with the menus, she immediately asked if we wanted appetizers and seemed to forget to ask us about our drinks. My wife politely asked to order drinks first and let us peruse the menu. I tried to order a Narragansett Pale Ale on draft, which was listed on their menu, but was told "don't even bother with that menu", which was kind of confusing. I was offered a Berkshire Brewing Co. Steel Rail Pale Ale as an alternative, which I gladly accepted. We continued to order the "wings" (no indication of how they were prepared, bone-in or boneless, or quantity) with some buffalo sauce. They arrived promptly and were the best thing about my experience here. They were bone-in wings, a little on the small side, but cooked to the right amount of crispiness with a good dosage of a spicy buffalo sauce. Looking over the rest of the menu, there were a plethora of options. While this might be a good thing for the undecided, it indicates to me that the kitchen doesn't do many things well. With trepidation, my wife and I both ordered burgers. I opted for the Philly burger (sauteed mushrooms, onions, and cheese), my wife ordered a burger that was sandwiched between a grilled cheese. The burgers arrived with little delay and we started in. My burger was particularly greasy and tasted as if it had come off an old, dirty grill. I have a feeling that frozen patties are the norm here. The french fries were nice and hot and appeared to be fresh, hand-cut potatoes. Overall, I don't think I would return here for a meal. The staff don't seem to be very keen on serving diners and the food fell short. However, with the attention paid to the bar clientele, I could see how coming here for some drinks and appetizers would be a smart move.

If you enjoy old and sticky joints with blah food, this is your place. Tried it twice and both times I wondered why I was there. Not the place for me...

For a place outside of Providence, they have Providence/slightly high prices on some drinks. Mixed drinks are not their forte, and they vary between giving you real glasses and solo cups. To me real glasses are kind of a symbol of adulthood and the establishment trusting their patrons. Service is a bit lackluster, but at the same time I'm sure they weren't over enthused by the Columbus Day weekend everyone home for the "holiday" crowd. That being said I'll probably be there again next year

I'd go back. While it's not the best food or cocktails I've ever had, this is a comfortable space with a huge outdoor seating area and a laid back vibe. And yes, they even have a bocce court. While sipping on a beer, I enjoyed a plate of buffalo calamari, then switched to peruse the tavern's martini list. Mixed drinks don't seem to be their strongest suit, and my martini with peach vodka and coconut rum was terrible (but shame on me for curiously choosing it). Service was good - our waitress seemed a little miserable but was extremely quick with food and drink orders. Overall, a pleasantly average spot. I think they achieve what they've set out for - a cozy neighborhood bar.

Walked in and walked out. Drunk guys stumbling around the parking lot. People smoking weed in the back. And servers no where to be found.

This is my first time at this establishment and I'm thoroughly impressed. The late night food menu is great and comes with huge portions. The bar staff is awesome and attentive; Kayla made me feel super comfortable and never made me wait for a drink. This just might be my new Sunday night destination.

We stop here regularly on Sunday nights coming home from boating. For a place that doesn't look like much and has some pretty hard core drinkers and smokers among its patrons, the food is surprisingly good with generous portions. My wife usually gets the chili. They will cook the wings to my specifications (crispy), which is a big plus for me. We've never been disappointed with the seafood, such as steamers, either. The back room is somewhat nicer than the front, but they have a tendency to leave the back door open, which means you're subjected to cigarette fumes from the patio. Rumor is the Bishop's Brew is really PBR. 7/5/15 update: Lowdown on "Bishop's Brew" is it's the beer du jour - could be Rolling Rock, Killian's or anything. It's best to ask first. The Tavern, though still very good, seems to be slipping a bit and I reduced it to 4 stars. Sour cream now comes in tiny pre-packaged containers ($1 upcharge) instead of a generous cupful. Service staff is green and untrained; if you don't want your apps and entrée to come out simultaneously as ours did, better order them separately. I asked for angel hair and got linguini instead. The waitress obviously knew about the substitution, but did not say anything until I pointed it out and then it was no apology, just "We're out of that (angel hair)."

Very pleasantly surprised with my recent visit. The beer selection was a let down, but the food coming out of the kitchen was a lot better than expected. The wings were very good and the burger great. Atmosphere was okay and the staff was very nice. Certainly worth stopping in. I would say the place seems pretty solid.

Pretty nice place with decent brew selection. The food was actually quite good. I had a Cajun burger which wasn't exactly spicy, but everything else about was perfect (esp. the curly fries)

What an unexpected pleasure! On the road back from a night at Mohegan Sun, bleary-eyed and unwilling to remain adrift in the food desert that is the stretch of 395 between Uncasville and Boston, we let Google Maps take us on a more town-based trip, and we're glad we did. We needed lunch, so we thought this way would get us to a place that at least had sandwiches. It brought us to Bishop Hill Tavern. At a stop light, in the rain, we spotted this place out the car window, and a split second decision had us turning into the parking lot. We had zero idea of what to expect - other Yelp reviews were sparse, one stating only "try the Reaper burger". Well, any place that offers a burger named for the Angel of Death sounds good to me, so in we went. The front room has a small bar, with maybe 10 seats, around a TV that was playing local news read by a man with very strange eyebrows. They had five taps, 4 national and one local. The fridge is full of good bottled beers, from all over the country - no "budbudlightcoorslightmichelobrollingrock" nonsense from our bartender, who was a pleasant young woman who left us alone, but sat nearby watching the odd TV man, in case we needed anything. The menu reads like something from an Adam Richman dream - the "Reaper" burger involves 2 patties, a lot of bacon, and some other heart-stopping goodies, between two grilled cheese sandwiches. A chicken sandwich on the menu involved jalapeno poppers and fried pickles. *Not* for the high of cholesterol. We both got burgers, and they were VERY good. No soggy brioche, no shortage of pickles. The place was well nigh deserted, and the back room had a sort of disused look, with stools up on the tables - like we were there at the last seating before they closed to fumigate, but other than that, I would come back here in a second if I ever had any reason to be in this section of sparsely populated Rhode Island.

Cool Spot Decent bar with decent apps (wings really good). The big draw here is in the summer. This place a very cool outdoor area with a bocce ball court, fireplace and large outdoor bar area. Tried the monster burger special (split it, it's 16 oz) it was pretty good. Tip: sit in the bigger bar area or check out the outdoor spot at night Value: Very affordable, the giant burger is only 11 bucks, deals on wings and 2 dollar house drafts. Decent cheap night out. Thanks

Great old feel to the place. Amusing signs. Good service. The food was very good also. I had the wings and a blue cheese and mushroom burger. All was good.

We didn't eat here so can't comment but their patio is awesome! Tons of games- giant jenga, bocce, foosball, ping pong and corn hole which made it really fun and easy to spend time there. Really fun to hang out on a summer night, drink some beers, listen to music and chill. We originally ordered our drinks at the bar but were pleasantly surprised when the bartender/waitress checked in with us outside and brought out another round (the service was great even when they got busy). It got pretty happening around dinner time even though it was a Monday and we were happy to be outside rather than competing for space in the slightly dark interior rooms. Great beer specials- the hubby got $1 mugs of rolling rock, I enjoyed my $3 pints of Blue Moon (extra classy with an orange wedge). I would recommend coming here for a fun drinking and hang out place.

This is my neighborhood bar so maybe im biased, but good food, beer, and people. Good outside hangout where you can drink and watch a game on a big screen. Classic tavern/pub atmosphere. Visit on a sunday or monday for cheap wings and pitchers of the bishop brew are only like $7.
(4)Scott B.
Nice place. Good beer selection. Feels like you are in a log cabin with the fireplaces all around. Wings are very good. They run specials all the time. Potato skins are good.

Had dinner there last night. Enjoyed the non-rushed feeling. I must say that the lightly tossed warm spinach with garlic was really really good. Would return
