The only reason I am giving this bar two stars is based on the beer selections, which was nice. The service left much to be desired, including not having the food we ordered, the waitress just bringing us the check when we weren't ready, the bathroom running out of TP and finally another bartender cursing out my friend as we were leaving. The entire experience reminded me of a college bar where they try to get the patrons drunk and if you aren't drinking enough you get pushed out. I'm disappointed that my party would be pushed out because we had coordinated in advance and had a designated driver who was not drinking.

What Cheer is exactly what I look for in a bar. It has friendly staff, a fun vibe, and a great beer selection. I had read reviews for this joint previously, but never wandered out to that particular neighborhood. I tend to stick around to a lot of bars in my own 'hood. Luckily for me, i had an adventurous friend and we ventured out to check out this gem. When we walked in, there was a handful of people hanging out at the bar. The lovely bartender offered us a warm greeting and a review of the drafts that they had available. One of the best aspects of What Cheer is that almost all of the beers are local, as in from RI. I do believe that one of the selections was from MA, but I'll let that slide because of how amazing they were. We were offered samples of any beer that piqued our interest. I tried a couple and made my decision (Pretty Things stout). We relaxed, chatted with some locals, perused the menu (a small list of your usual bar food items), and had a pretty awesome time. I will definitely be back in the future to try some more local craft brews and possibily some of that tasty sounding chili.

I love this place. They have great craft beers on tap, including local beers. The beers on tap change pretty frequently, so you can always try something new and interesting each time you visit. It's a neighborhood place - the staff makes an effort to learn your name, so after only a few times I get greeted with my name when I arrive or leave. The atmosphere isn't fancy, but they do have an outdoor space for the summer which is nice. Good (bar) food, too. I'd recommend the sweet potato fries and the poutine.
(5)Alma C.
When I first came here, I was in the line of fire of an exploding tap that showered on me the clean crisp smell of locally sourced craft beer. Mixed with the aromas of awesome deep fried crispy Baffoni Farm bacon chicken wings, sweet potato fries with curry aeoli, and Goose Island Bourbon County stout seeping through my pores, I probably have never smelled better in my life.... Come to think of it, I'm really glad cannibals weren't around to sniff me out that night.
(5)Richard K.
I was fairly certain this was going to be a horrendous dive bar based on the neighborhood. Much to my surprise this was as sweet a hole in the wall you could find. The beer selection is out of this world and the owner is incredibly personable. If you can manage to not be a dick you should have a pretty good time in this place. I live on the East Bay so my visits will be infrequent but I WILL be returning. Well done and Good luck guys!
(4)Ryan B.
Not a great location and it's a tad small. The beer selection is decent with microbrews... but it's just lacking
(2)Andre B.
What can I say, I came for the beer and left wanting more of their food. Self proclaimed beer geek in me drew myself to this new craft beer bar. They have a small local centric tap offering that is sure to please. I was initially drawn there for the Lagunitas Sucks! Imperial IPA. It was cold perfectly poured. Here's the good part. I ordered the Poutine special. Let me tell you it was out of this world. Fries were perfectly cooked with the cheese melting into that decadent gravy. Never expected that from a little corner bar. Then I ordered the sinfully good bacon chicken wings. Just a perfect level of heat and a hint of bacon goodness in the background. Keep doing what your doing. It takes a lot to impress me and you hit it out of the park.

I had drinks with a friend at What Cheer Tavern today after work. I didn't know what to expect but had hopes that it would be good since there is such a lack of good bars on this side of town. The beer selection was excellent! Narragansett seasonal was the only crap beer on the menu. Everything else was from greats like Stone. They had an excellent Scotch Ale the name of which escapes me now. We also tried a few things from their food menu. The bacon wings were okay. I REALLY liked their kimchi deviled eggs. Good flavor there. Didn't quite mesh with my scotch ale but no big deal. The place is small and very clean. The thing that surprised me was how well lit it was. From the outside it looks like the kind of place you might go to hide, much like a cave. Not so. Definitely my favorite neighborhood bar to date. Dave the bartender (and maybe the owner) is very knowledgeable about his beers and local brewer's scene. He told me one of his distributors is in talks with Dogfish to maybe start selling in Rhode Island again!!!!!! Two thumbs up (two pints up anyway:)
(5)Eric W.
Super tasty. Absorbed all the alcohol. And I just saw two rolls it toilet paper added to the bathroom.
(4)Wayne P.
They have one of most consistently good selections of local craft beer around. If you are looking for a Ravenous Brewing Coffee Milk Stout, you will most likely find it here.The food and service is always great. Very knowledgeable staff when it comes to the beers. The food menu changes periodically. But one warning the hot wings are SERIOUSLY hot, 3 levels reg/meduim/hot. I usually get hot to med other places. Medium was HOT. just saying. been several times and will continue to return. Oh and lastly street parking only.
(4)A Z.
The bacon wings were great, but I was an even bigger fan of their buffalo wings. They were probably some of the best in Providence if not THE best. I don't know what it was about them, they were just fantastic. And the bacon deviled eggs --- you won my heart!
(4)David G.
Having lived in Washington Park for ten years I've had to listen to my friends in other neighborhoods talk about walking over to The Avery, or down to the Wild Colonial, or even up to the Elmhurst Pub. Meanwhile, within walking distance of my house I had these options: McDonalds, Subway, and the Shell station. Oh, there was also a really crappy bar called the Acores Cafe, which I went to all of one time before my wife decided she was never setting foot in there again. I guess people screaming at the top of their lungs in Portuguese is not the nicest setting for a date night. Well, the Acores has been sold, and has reopened as What Cheer? Tavern, named after the famous greeting ("What Cheer, Netop") given to Roger Williams when he first came to Providence. What Cheer is an intimate space that specializes in local food and beer. The menu is small, simple, and locally sourced. The current beers on tap are Providence favorites Revival and Trinity, along with Newport Storm, Wachussett, Grey Sail and of course, Narragansett. Bottled beers are also available and generally fall into the New England craft beer milieu. Now, as nice as this sounds, it's still Washington Park so they do have $2 Narragansett Tallboys on Thursdays, and some domestic beer and cheap shot options as well. What Cheer Tavern has only been open for a few days, but so far it's drawing an eclectic crowd. You have some of the old neighborhood guys that used to come to Acores, college students from Johnson & Wales, professionals stopping in for a bite or a drink after work, some military folks, and people attracted to the locavore and craft beer vibe. All they need now is some hipsters and they'll win some sort of Providence Bingo. The space itself is cozy - probably holds 20 people comfortable with 30 being a tight fit. However, it has a really nice fenced in patio area that they plan to turn into a beer garden. Given the lack of outdoor seating at most bars and restaurants in Providence, I'm psyched to have such an amenity in my neighborhood. The owner seems nice and friendly. We talked for a bit while I was enjoying my Gansetts, and I always appreciate a bartender who takes the time to talk to a lone patron rather than just texting or cleaning and waiting until you need a refill. You can tell the place is still finding its feet. In some ways, I really like that. I like that it's not so busy that I can actually get to know the owner. I like that they draw an eclectic mix of people. I like that they're an unpretentious place serving craft beer and locally sourced food.
(5)Eric F.
We saw that What Cheer was having their grand opening tonight and took a look at their website. Local Microbrews and good pub grub...so we had to check it out. We were pretty happy about what we found. This place used to be the Acores Cafe. My only experience with that place was calling the cops when I saw twenty people brawling in the streets outside the joint. What Cheer Tavern couldn't be further from that image. Great local beers on tap, friendly staff, kick ass blues cranking on the stereo, and several large HDTV's with football and soccer. We got to talk to the new owner quite a bit tonight. His mission is to bring great local beer on tap in a small comfortable environment. I am very pleased to see a place like this in the North Edgewood/ Washington Park area. Give this place a shot and I am sure that you will not be disappointed. I look forward to going back! WHAT CHEET!?!
(4)Cara I.
Great little neighborhood bar with an awesome tap list. Their food is really delicious too!
(5)Heather W.
I have only been to What Cheer Tavern once but I was impressed. Very friendly staff even on a Monday. Great beers on tap with the focus on local beers. The menu is small but satisfying. We got variations of the wings and chili and everyone enjoyed their food. It is a gem of a bar. Will be back!
(4)Don W.
Friendly staff, quality beer.

It was one of those mid-summer nights that feels like it could last forever. You have been out for most of the day hopping between places and just loving life. You head in to yet another place where you are meeting friends of friends. You are in luck - they have a wide selection of local beers and you order one (City Steam Blonde on Blonde) after sampling a few that the friendly owner and bartender suggest based on your preferences. You head out back to the concrete patio area which has picnic and patio tables dotted about. Everyone gets along. You enjoy your drinks. You play silly games and laugh. A lot. You may or may not dance on the picnic table briefly. You also may or may not have extra long sparklers left over from the 4th of July that you light. You definitely then remember that you are out and not hanging out in your friend's backyard. Oops. You end up closing the place down after thinking you'd just be stopping in for a bit. It felt like the perfect summer night all wrapped up in one experience and you know it is bound to become one of "those nights" you'll think of fondly when the summer turns to fall and again when the spring turns to summer. Was it the weather? The inviting and familiar atmosphere? The randomness of it all? No idea. It is also worth noting that exclaiming "What cheer!" in a bad British accent is extremely fun and highly encouraged.
(5)Johny C.
Ditto what everyone else has said. It is what it is: a Great freak'n local bar that just happens to have an amazing, and constantly evolving, beer menu. Good food. Nice folks; patrons & staff alike. The owner seems genuine and sincere in his eagerness to please, quench the proverbial thirst and to succeed in the bar biz. To anyone who's spent some time in the trenches in the Providence bar-scene you can see what a boon to the metro area that is. What can I say? We found a real gem here. Okay, one draw-back: the place is a bit small, which makes it wonderfully intimate when there's just a few of you, when you want a quite drink with your significant other, or you want to pop in on the way home from work for a hearty stout and a kindly word -But- a few times I've pulled up and the place is just so crazy packed [I'm glad for the success of it] that I end up skipping the visit. That speaks more to my agoraphobia perhaps than to an actual fault of the establishment. So do yourself a favor. Head down to this oasis just shy the city line, and have yourself an amazing draft- not sure what to try? It's ALL good!
(5)Vicki A.
What Cheer is a great little place a few miles from downtown Providence! Perfect spot for meeting friends for drinks after work. It is TINY, however (maybe 5 tables and 12 bar stools) so not great as a getting-to-know-you outing...usually very loud and crowded, and it's mostly full of regulars. The bar is very nice and has wood floors and stone paneling so even though it looks like a dive on the outside, it's really quite nice. What Cheer has a great selection of local and semi-local beers of various prices. You can get cheap bottles or Budweiser or Narragansett or great stuff ($5-$6) on tap. They also rotate what they have on tap so the menu changes regularly. What Cheer also has a very nice food menu and they try to use only local meat (not sure about the other products). The chef usually has some nice specials (which also rotate regularly) but when we went, the special was "Your Mom," which kind of summarizes the playful attitude of the place. Definitely check out What Cheer next time you're trying something new!
(5)Liz C.
I'm really excited about this place. Great beer and a small selective menu of "totally decent food" and the Acores is finally gone! Hooray! I've gone in twice and both times have met some awesome people. Drinking craft beer doesn't need to be pretentious or expensive and I like that this place seems to foster that sentiment. With 8 taps, they seem to care more about quality than quantity. Revival, Trinity, Wachusett and the new UFO Pumpkin on tap. Good selection of bottled beers in the cooler. Beer reps bought me drinks both times I went in. I guess they will be doing tastings pretty regularly there so I'm into that too. AND... the wings are amazing-- I don't know why I thought there would not be food here...maybe because the old Acores was just so weird, that I figured this would not be a place to get dinner. WRONG. The buffalo wings are huge, obviously not frozen and perfect sauce-to-wing ratio. My husband had the chili. It was good too. The chalk board lists their specials: $4 and $5 draft & bottle specials, $2 Gansett Tallboys on Thursdays and house-infused chili vodka for Bloody Mary's. The fenced backyard is great for good weather or smokers. I see potential for this to be a great spot in the Summer. I heard the owner talking about doing a karaoke night--ummm, YES. So I obviously like this place and will be returning.
(5)Jazzy G.
Being from Edgewood, I've been driving by What Cheer Tavern for a couple weeks now and was interested in what kind of drinking establishment was opening in the slightly changing narraganssett blvd section of Washington Park. I went home did my research online and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was being marketed as a bar where the beer matters first and foremost. I stopped by with my wife on early saturday night and walked into a Revival brewing tasting event. I enjoyed tasting's of their octoberfest and double black beers. We grabbed a seat by the big picture window and ordered the Revival drafts that came to our table nice and cold. Now, I have never been to the previous establishment and was impressed with how the placed seemed. Clean, great local list of brews, comfortable, and one great motivated owner, John who greeted us like vip's. After downing our first round, we asked for a menu which inludes good appetizers that pair well with beer, but kicked up slightly to separate from the norm. We had bacon buffalo wings and wow! we were blown away at the freshness and flavor. After a couple more rounds, we left our new neighborhood bar happy that such a place similar to the Avery, e & o tap, dougherty's east ave cafe, etc..was only a 5 minute ride home.

Good people Great vibe I'm late to the party This spot seems to be a popular joint, but without any scenester hogwash. I walked in solo on a Friday night -but I was neck deep in a conversation in under ten minutes, comparing excellent (and creative as all get-out!) menu offerings while bending elbows with good beers and friendly people. I'm about it. Bartending was capable, helpful, and...friendly! Beer selection is moderate and local for the most part (RI/CT) plus some further-outs (eg Sculpin varieties as of this writing. PS - there were two solid offers not listed, worth inquiring about when you're in, in case there's any secret goodness you need to be about). I grabbed various beers, each tasty...but the selection rotates, so I'll stay mum on the particulars except to say I was pleased. The food options were a shock for "simple bar food," which I'd expected going in. Nothing of the sort here. Asian, El Salvadoran, and mash-up culinary options were essentially the only choice. I clocked in a shift with the San Miguel Street Fries, but could happily have gone seven other directions. I appreciated the options thoroughly, but here might be the only knock - while the selections were inspired, the offering was merely good, not great, and it was what I was told could be considered a start-here-to-dig-the-menu choice. No problem, just not sublime - and if I return and find better options, best believe I'll upgrade. Environmentally-speaking, the music was pretty boss between latter day punk, real garage, and some fine rock n' roll. (The mood was further enhanced by Providence College basketball giving Villanova a run on TV - though your results may vary). Conversation was lively without roaring. The patrons were having good times; the bartenders were having a good time. In short, the people? Having a good time. Recommended.

There's not many neighborhood bars that I want to venture in to, much less continuously make it a point to go to, in So. Providence. But What Cheer is seriously one of my most favoritest bars in the city. Great beer and booze selections. Super cool owners. The food is really wonderful as well - the imaginative toppings on the hot dogs and fries. Oh, and the wings. A great sized patio. Shoots, I wanna go there now. Meet me over there in 20!
(5)Vilay S.
Great beers, great people, and the food is unexpectedly the bomb. The only other place that seems remotely similar in funky loud food stylings is Red Fez. The tacos and nachos are spicy and so full of flavor. And the POUTINE. I crave it all the time, because where else can you get poutine?
(4)Stephanie K.
Wow since my first review this place got 10x better. The craft beer is still awesome but whoever was cooking this sat night was spot on! Everything was cooked on point! The bacon wings were crispy with tons of bacon and plenty of meat. The moro fries were also crispy with lots of cheddar!
(5)Stephanie G.
Nice local bar with a small but impressive selection of craft beers (and beer flights so you can try a few), good food, an outdoor area, and nice vibe. And if you live in the area, you might just bump into a friend or neighbor. It's just that kind of place, I'll be back soon.
(4)Kyle S.
Pretty safe to say What Cheer is my type of bar. Laid back vibe...check. Good craft beer selection...check. Interesting selection of bourbon / whiskey....check. This local spot isn't very big but it is very low key inside and they have a great selection of local craft beers both on draft and in bottles / cans. It seems like they are always rotating their selection on draft so I enjoy coming in and seeing something new to try. Also, I recently discovered how awesome their food is. While the menu is very simple, the food is eclectic and full of flavor. The mofo fries are a must try...the sriracha sauce and melted cheese on them was sooo good. And for a guy that isn't big into tofu, I absolutely devoured my bombay taco. The people working here have always been very friendly when I've stopped in and also seem quite knowledgeable when it comes to the different beers (and whiskeys). What Cheer is a great neighborhood pub that is certainly worth stopping by and checking out.
(5)Cabernet S.
Eh, I wasn't impressed. Sure they offer beer, but what place doesn't? Even the beer varieties weren't anything you couldn't find anywhere else. It should be noted that the place is actually pretty tiny. More of a shack rather than a tavern. They do have some interesting food choices with spice infusions but the offerings feel like something you'd expect from a dingy place. A lot of the food is oily and has a cheap feel to it. I didn't go in expecting Wolfgang Puck's or anything, but it still wasn't all that. This place is a good addition to the neighborhood and goes in well with the lowered expectations seen around Allens Ave. There is better stuff elsewhere.
(3)Kyle B.
If you're looking for a welcoming staff, one of the best selections of TRUE craft beer and one of the most unique menus in New England...make it a point to stop in to What Cheer. The wings, the fries, the sandwiches, doesn't matter what you get...it's great & your palate will thank you later. The beer! The local brews, the out of state "wow they have that" brews and the ones you've never heard of but are glad you tried is exactly what makes this place worth the drive into providence. Do yourself a favor, get in here! (just not on Sundays)

Nice place! Not very big but it's clean with a good selection of beers on tap. And oh yes, they also offer a selection of appetizers (I had the Mofo fries and bacon wings, both good). Service was excellent, they have some big TVs, and it's a place I know I'll be back to in the future. Tip: Don't be put off by the location on Allens Ave, just find a parking spot on the street (it was easy when I was there at 5pm) and have a beer and some bacon wings!

There is not a bad thing to say about this place. I've been coming here for about 6 months, but a new Yelper. The beer selection is always changing with quality crafts and the cocktails are top notch. The crowd is always friendly and fun, and in the warm months the patio is a great time. This is the premier spot in the Southeastern part of Providence.

As a craft beer lover I'm so excited my friends introduced me to this place. If you drove by you'd be likely to miss it. This is a small place with LOTS of charm. Free street parking so that's always a plus. I have been there a few times on the weekend and have always been able to park no problem. The bartenders are attentive welcoming and friendly. They are also knowledgable which comes in handy since they change the craft beer list all the time. If it's new they have it. If if hot they have it. If it's tough to find they have it. I always have had something new to try there. Speaking of beers the prices are very reasonable. I haven't eaten there yet but will have to since all the food Around me looked Pretty amazing. If your looking for a casual place to get a great beer with attentive service this is a great option. Go check it out and take me With you !

Great Beer! We also sampled all the food. The pig tails were especially interesting and came in a finger lickin' sauce. I like the pickled veg!

Great little hidden gem! Small menu but great food!!Tried the crab and bacon wontons and I was pleasantly surprised. Wings were full of meat, well cooked and not greasy or fatty! Tried the thai and bacon ones. Good choices! Nice little spot for a quick bite. Bartender was super nice and attentive. Will be back!

Don't be fooled by the outside appearance, while it may be small and not stand out as much as other places in the area, it absolutely holds up food and drink wise. I had been a few times previously and always known the beer list here is phenomenal but decided to try the food last night for the first time. So glad I did. We ordered the Tijuana Street Fries and the Chili Lime wings. Both were very good. The fries were absolutely delicious as they had large pieces of pork with a green salsa and a couple of cheeses. It was so good I wanted more once we polished off the platter. The wings were tasty as well and cooked perfectly. Not too messy and nice and crispy. Having tried these items I am excited to return to try other menu options. Next time the Poutine will be a must!

Here's a great little neighborhood place to kick back! A group of us stopped in after a meeting for drinks and snacks. Very friendly bartender/server, and an interesting homemade small plate selections. We started with chicken wings (served by the pound) and ended up ordering a couple of different types of those, along with homemade pickles and fries (with pulled pork, no less!). They also serve a variety of taco and ramen dishes. Small and cozy with an outside area as well. Good selection of craft beers but limited wine offerings. Definitely worth stopping in!

One of the top craft beer bars in the state Rotating taps of the best local RI (and New England) craft beer. Best wings in the state (Bacon Wing) Great atmosphere Welcoming and friendly staff

I don't know what to rave about first... The beer list is phenomenal, the food is a pub-friendly interpretation of multicultural fusion, the liquor selection is rockstar. Great staff, great service, great crowd. You wouldn't know from the outside, it just looks like a humble little bar, but this is one of the greatest spots in the state. What Cheer is one of the reasons to visit providence, make sure to stop by.

I don't usually hand out 5 stars, but man, here it is. This bar looks like a shithole from the outside and it is clearly not in the best neighborhood. Once you walk in though, all bets are off! This is a beer lover's dream. The selection is handpicked, obviously by seasoned beer lover. There is probably about a dozen taps and each one pours out something amazing. Don't expect to find a Sam Seasonal or some other whored out label. It's just a great mix of great drafts, always rotating out. What's even more impressive than that is what's in the cooler. All your favorite bottles and cans easily displayed for you enjoyment. What puts this places over the top is the food. It's gourmet comfort food! I swear to god there is a chef in that kitchen. The noodles are awesome. The fries are amazing. And I dare you to find better wings. The atmosphere is just the icing on the cake. If you are a 20 or 30 something, this is your place. Don't be afraid to make a friend or two. My only gripe is the hours. Obviously, this is own and operated and they can't be there 24/7. But a man can dream, can't he?

I'm so happy to have found What Cheer in my Providence travels. What a great, unpretentious, local bar with an awesome bourbon, whiskey and local craft beer selection. I mean, isn't that what we all dream of? We went on a Saturday afternoon right after they opened and were able to grab a table near the front of the small, inviting bar. Since we were there early on there weren't any servers on just yet but the bartender (and also the owner) was very welcoming and helpful in answering any questions we had about their bourbon selection. The bourbon we settled on was his personal recommendation after asking quite a few questions on our preferences. It was fantastic and I definitely did the whole "let me make a note of this bourbon's name in my phone" and accidentally deleted the note a few days later. That having been said, I would suggest you go in, speak with the bar keep, and discover your own new favorite whiskey.

No Bud, no Coors, no Sam Adams...Good! WhatCheer is a tavern for beer lovers. In addition they serve some really great food items that will vaporize your panties! You'll get along fine here as long as you don't think that you're finding the new McFaddens. I've had many hot wings in my life. These are about the best I have ever had. Seriously.
(5)Kristi A.
There a very few small local bars you can walk into that instantly make you feel like a regular. Staff is super friendly and engaging. Food is fantastic and beer selection is second to none. I highly recommend checking it out!

This is a nice and quaint place. I thought it was going to be very busy as it is right next to a college. However, we came in around 6:30pm and were easily able to find a table to sit at. The menu has a variety of unique but delicious items! We had the bacon buffalo wings and regular buffalo wings! The sauces were delicious!! We don't care for battered wings, but they were cooked very well! The owner seemed very nice and appreciative to his customers. He even offered us a sample of a new beer he received which was good! He has a great selection of beers and definitely cares what he has at his bar. Will definitely be coming back to this place and hoping to try some other foods like the kimchi hot dog!

Nothing bad to say here. Great neighborhood bar.. I am so lucky it is close to home. Great draft beer and bottled beer selection, all craft and a lot are hard to get. I love the small bar menu. Interesting takes on tacos, hotdogs, French fries and wings, some of my favorite things! Try the kimchi hot dog, the poutine or the BACON buffalo wings, you won't be let down. Prices are fair and the atmosphere, is great. I love the kind and knowledgable owner. He has great taste in beers. A cozy and small bar space for the colder months, great outdoor fenced in patio with tables and umbrellas for the warmer months! It is a great place to be a regular patron.

This is my roommates favorite bar, so I will admit that for a long time I felt I wasn't supposed to go here, because it was her territory. I got over it and I'm glad I did. I will admit, that I don't really know anything about beer except for how it's made and the fermentation reaction that produces it, so basically in the past I have made Liana pick for me and in the times I've visited with other friends I've literally played eenie meenie miney mo with the chalkboard. This has thus far been a successful strategy, which means to me that their choices are well thought out. They also get a million bonus points for being ridiculously close to my house and for having a nice staff. I have never made it here before the kitchen closes but others report the food is great and I look forward to trying it. I have never used the bathroom here but friends who have, have never reported a toilet paper shortage.

The only thing preventing me from giving them 5 stars is the beer selection is pretty small. Both bottles and drafts. You don't have a lot of options so hopefully you find something you like. The food however is some of the best bar food I've ever had. The buffalo wings are without a doubt the best buffalo wings I've ever had in Providence. They have a bunch of cool takes on tacos, with my personal favorite being the hipster tacos. A great combination of Korean bbq flavors, kimchi, pickled cucumbers and a crema. Along with the good selection of tacos there are some creative fry platters, including a curry dominated plate, and poutine with actual cheese curds instead of just melted cheese. I plan to schedule my next heart attack after a night out at What Cheer....

I remember what used to be in this location. Do you remember? I'm so glad to have a business like this so close to my home. The owner and the staff are wonderful people, the beer selection is absolutely amazing, the food is absolutely to die for, and is locally sourced as possible. You can truly see the pride in all the work done there from the renovation to the products they serve to the way that they treat their customers. The menu is seasonal with some favorites kept on all the time but in the winter the addition of Pho and Ramen is absolutely amazing. You can really see pride in all the work that they do there. Last time I went I had the bacon hot wings and DT you want to street fries. The wings crispy not overly spicy and the little bits of bacon really shine through.The fries are hand cut and crispy pulled pork cilantro and cheese and a spicy pepper blend perfectly complement those hand cut fries. I can't wait to eat my way through all of the soups as well. I'll be seeing you guys again real soon and I'll bring great people back with me.

What a fantastic bar! Sad to say I had never heard of it until this past week. The quest for the illusive Founders KBS landed us at What Cheer since we had discovered they had the brew on tap!! The bar is on the small side, but I loved the cozy intimate feel of the place. I believe our bartender was the owner or manager and he was fantastic. No crap on tap here - great place to grab a craft beer. We were hungry and decided to split an order of spring rolls and the carne asada tacos.... fantastic! Food definitely was better than I expected. Prices were definitely fair and this is one bar I'll be back to for sure!

My wife and I were out one night and after playing with Twitter while waiting for my meal, I found out that What Cheer Tavern had a somewhat rare beer on tap that I was dying to try. Being a bit of a craft beer geek, I just had to stop in. We rolled in and met Dave, the owner, who was kind enough to change all the tv's to the Bruins game, and we hung out and watched the game, while enjoying some of the "awesomeness" that was on tap. Not only is the beer selection amazing, they also have a very eclectic and delicious assortment of food. Definitely not your typical lineup of "pub grub"! I think the best part of What Cheer is the staff and the patrons. Dave and his team are awesome to chat with, and do a great job with attending to everyone. I've had the fortune of meeting a lot of great people who love good craft beer as much as I do. The vibe in this building is just terrific! Look.... if you're coming here expecting cheap, crappy domestic drafts, go elsewhere. But,if you're looking to sample some of the world's finest craft beers, have some great food with a bunch of great people, then you've come to the right place. Come on in and sit down. CHEERS!

I think this place is great! Dave the bartender/owner is super nice and knowledgable - tons of local beers and local chickens from RI. Only been open 8 weeks - check it out
(5)Jennifer R.
Awesome. This is a hidden gem. They have a very small menu but everything on it is absolutely delicious. They also have an awesome selection of local beers on tap... and an outdoor patio.
(5)Jaki G.
It's small and intimate with great beers on tap! I love just swinging by this place. About half the time I go here I can't find a seat though, maybe someday they will/can expand.
(4)Joyce A.
We enjoyed this bar! Very different because they have a limited menu. Bacon wings were good! it's a very small place so i don't recommend going with a big group unless you arrive as soon as they open and you can save one of the tables.
(4)Lyd M.
I've only been once, but I really like the feel of this spot! It looks very small from the outside, but it's surprisingly spacious with a nice big bar and high-top tables as well as tables in an inclosed outdoor area. It's decorated in a comfortable, welcoming way, and I totally forgot I was on Allens Ave while I was inside :) The bartender was so nice! Very warm but not too chatty. They carry lots of local products: Thomas Tew, Sons of Liberty, I don't know...a bunch of others I can't think of right now....but yay! It sounds like they have some pretty solid bar food, although I didn't see or try any. But I would like to some time soon! I'm glad this is here because it fills a real neighborhood void!
(4)Sam R.
Great craft beer selection. Funny and friendly staff. Love that it's a small clean place with a beautiful patio out back that's large and fenced in. Very towny feeling; I've always been a fan of bars where you walk in and you know they're all locals who go there every other day. Love it.
(4)Chris W.
Great little dive bar that surprised the heck out of me. Great selection of fresh local beers on DRAFT and food was amazing. So wild- from amazing carnitas to wings to ramen. Who would have known??

I should probably be ashamed of myself for taking so long to get a review up here. This place is great. As a suffering grad student, I find this bar to be my weekly respite not just for the alcohol which rest assured is a massive bounty but truly because the food is off the charts amazing. I live in North Providence where a bar like this would be shangri la and to be able to stop here on the way home and nosh on some truly unique eats is respecfully appreciated. They have wontons, they have artisan tacos, poutine, sneaky hot dogs with a myriad of accotrements and korean street fare that will knock your socks off. I swear the owners are totally screwing with their patrons because with all that good stuff on the menu I find myself hard-pressed not to create a fusion meal. I bet they go in the back and say, did that girl realy just eat beef bulgogi with poutine? Yes, she did. Shame, shame. Alas, I did it and I don't regret it. What I regret is that I get tired in class and sometimes I drive past the bar on my way home sometimes and fail to stop in. Rather, I should drink a coffee and tough it out because thre isn't a chance in hell I've left the WCT without an innate sense of bliss and joy! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, trust me. Its amazing in every sense of the word how delish their food is. Like I said, bountiful spread of booze but for me, the food is where its at!
(5)Jeff R.
Very cool little neighborhood place with quality brews on tap. They only have 10-12 taps, but they rotate frequently and they're usually pouring something new. The food menu is small and looks interesting, but I haven't tried anything yet. I wish I lived nearby because I would be Norm at the end of the bar. Uh...maybe it's a good thing I don't live nearby...

Great beer selection and awesome pub delights...a must go ! Thanks Liz McB. For introducing this place
