Reviews


Now, you have 1476 ratings from 7 website(s) at your disposal. The midpoint review for Congress Tavern is 4, denoting that guests have a very high opinion of this restaurant. The Congress is a cozy pub located in a nice area of Providence, offering a good selection of beers and friendly waitstaff. While the food menu may be on the smaller side, the dishes are generally tasty - with highlights like the cioppino stew and the fish and chips. However, some patrons have reported instances of inappropriate behavior by staff, making it necessary to be cautious if you are a person of color. Overall, The Congress seems to be a better spot for casual drinks and a quick bite rather than for a fancy date night. With a mixed bag of reviews on food and service quality, it might be hit or miss - but the espresso martinis are definitely worth a try according to some patrons.
