This place is tucked away but worth finding. If you like BBQ they make all their own sauces like a chipotle cherry! And Bourbon molasses. Burgers and chicken are imaginative and good. Prices are reasonable. The cocktails are creative and they infuse alcohols in house like banana bourbon and strawberry mint vodka. Houses in a former roller rink the place is sectioned off and the bar area has cozy chairs and couches like a vintage cabin. We have been there 4 times over the past year and a half and the servers are always friendly and on top of things. If you’re headed downtown PVD from the East Bay it is especially convenient.

About the restaurant

Taverns have had a constant important presence in American life since the late 1600's. Many of them, which were attached to inns, were opened as resting places for travelers needing a place to stop, relax and fortify themselves. Of course the local residents frequented the taverns too, purchasing drinks and meals as well as participating in lively conversations. Taverns were the focal point for neighbors to come together, exchange news, talk of politics, and share in the general feeling of conviviality. Taverns were firmly established as gathering places for the light hearted socializing, serious talk, and of course, a
hearty meal accompanied by a tasty libation or two.
In this American tradition, we at Mill’s Tavern welcome you with genuine enthusiasm. Our staff is warm, friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. So please come, relax, visit with friends and family. You will leave refreshed and nourished, body and soul.

My wife and I along with my sister were celebrating our wedding anniversary. It’s our annual visit to Mill’s. We weren’t disappointed. We started with the calamari appetizer, one of the best I’ve had. The mains were salmon,swordfish and pork tenderloin. All were excellent as were the sides of roasted potatoes and crispy Brussel sprouts. Desserts were chocolate cotton cheesecake x2 and a peach Melba sundae. All highly recommended. Everything was made all the better thanks to our server James. Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Looking forward to our next visit.

Throughout the space of Public, a modernist sensibility is blended with a classic American, Newport mansion drawing room theme. It's design is inspired by the existing architecture of the Masonic Temple and it's Rhode Island Capital Statehouse neighbor. Public's masculine and warm setting will be a meeting place for hipsters and Senators alike.
Please keep in mind that we are next to a theatre and it greatly affects reservations and seating times.
