I SWEAR last time I was at Muldowney's, there was a counter along the far wall. I sweahtagahd! However, last time I was at Muldowney's was in 2008, when I was shooting jello shots in syringes, keeping my cousin from jumping out of moving vehicles and into snowbanks, and preventing said cousin from beligerently throwing bottles at people. So I could be wrong about the counter. But I clearly remember it!! Apparently I was wrong (see also: drunk). Muldowney's is a solid Irish bar (again, not how I remember it). Beer is wicked cheap and the Red Sox game is on. There are the requesite plethora of bros hanging around outside. There were no jello shots to be found this last time, which was sort of a disappointment if you ask me. I managed to stay out of trouble (at least in public) in Providence last weekend, which is sort of sinful in and of itself. The bartender was super nice, and again, this place is super cheap. I'm just said it didn't get freakaaayyyyy again.

I really like this hole in the wall pub, we were served right away and the bartenders were really nice. They dont accept credit cards but there is an ATM inside and my wonderful bank rebates those pesky foriegn ATM fees! Can't wait to go again!

CASH ONLY. I came here before the Friars game because Trinity was impossible as usual. I just wanted some beer! Very basic beer selection, but PBR drafts are $2 if you're not picky. It's true: Basic old man/townie bar with Irish stuff and sports stuff and classic rock. Nice bartenders, laid back and friendly. Not very exciting or edgy or fancy, but that's me. I'm keeping it real. If you order a pizza off the menu it comes from Bravo around the corner.

Be out of the way In the middle of downtown Don't expect a crowd You could do a lot worse if you're just looking to drink. Then again, you could do a bit better. This place is strange; it's a townie bar in the middle of downtown. The folks who hang out here seem to fit into one of two camps: either a bit older or a bit more thuggish than the crowd in the surrounding bars. It just seems like either everyone there knows each other already, or at the very least, they don't want to know you. All that said, if you find yourself downtown and would like to slip into a bar where you'll be able to drink without being elbowed aside by a freshly post-collegiate clamoring for another Raison d'être, here's your bar. It's just not mine.

Love it. Super cheap dive bar with Keno and scratchers. If you seek a dive bar, this is it. Only sad that Judy has passed away. She was a great bartender and loved to go there to see her.

During major New England sports events, they have 25 cent wings and 6 dollar pitchers of PBR. The wings are awesome. I wish they had one of these in California.

This place is truly a dump in many ways, lets see, used to like it when the previous owner had it, really cool place, before it was renovated and sold. I had a great time there once, with Angela the bartender but you know, having gone in there few months ago, I had to use the ladies room, but it was full, so I used the mens room, upon going back to the bar, apparantly the twerp ass that worked there, asked us to leave to bar. I asked him why, he couldn't automatically answer me, Then he comes back and says, oh I think you're swearing too much, and everyone else isn't???? He hinted at the fact I used the mens room and my friends heard him and they all looked confused like what the &*%%? He was very rude, not customer friendly and gee, if there were a next time of me going into this bar again, I should just squat on the floor when the sex appropriate bathroom is full. Okay? My friends couldn't not believe that guys behavior. Then my favorite bartender quits, so there is obviously something terribly wrong with management when a bar tender quits. I accept the apology, but I doubt I will return. I been hearing too much b.s. about this place, we just go to SCURVY, oh, where that DJ and that awesome bartender now work.

Weird old dudes reign here. And just creepy dudes in general. They have cheap jell-o shots which are fun to do occasionally, and karaoke on many nights of the week. Although, atmosphere is creep central, have I stressed that enough? Not a place I'd want to hang out in again.
(2)Meghan S.
i think they have the nicest bartender in providence, hands down. she gave us free food on the night she had made beer simmered hot dogs. classy lady, classic bar... sometimes there are some real creepos in there though, so i take it down maybe one star. it certainly beats AS220 though.

Classic Irish pub. Guinness is perfect temperature, lights are dim, crowd during the day is... Experienced, so it's quiet. Outdoor street side seating and cash only, what's not to like.

Good Ole Dive Bar Muldowney's is my old standby when I am going to show in Providence. Cheap beers, good juke box, pleasant service. It's cash only so be prepared. I see that the place got some bad reviews but what are the reviewers expecting? This is a simple dive bar in Downtown Providence. If your looking to save a few bucks for the same drink that you can get 2 doors down from here. Try Muldowney's, if you like dive bars. Thanks

Basic dive bar.. But for the love of god, get rid of the horrid karaoke on sat nights!! Id much rather be able to hear some tunes from the jukebox then to hear the same drunk woman butcher terrible 80's slow jams. Switch it to another day

This is definitely a dive bar. If you don't like dive bars don't come here. If you don't want to encounter an older male crowd then don't come here. If you don't have cash, don't come here - it's cash only. What I like about this place: It is consistently less crowded than all the other bars in Providence. It has outdoor seating where you can drink and people watch. They have a turkey burger with sweet potato fries for like $7.00. Pitchers are all domestic but cheap nonetheless. The bartender is usually always an older women and very sweet even bringing my food outside for me. I've been by myself before and being a 24 year old female some of the characters can be a little weird especially when you're outside smoking but all are harmless and from what I have gathered - good natured. Most of the time I prefer the laid back atmosphere as opposed to a lot of the other places in Providence.

Hey, welcome to 'Downey's, here's a beer a biatch and a sharpened pool cue. Have a good time. I'm giving this place 4 stars because, well it's a dive, basically, and out of dives it's a 4 star one. PBR's $2, and the company is good. They have a DJ some nights, and they have karaoke other nights. Pool table, and an ATM. You're allowed to bring your beers that are in cups outside to drink. Cash only, and everyone will know your name/ knows each other. Service was quick, and if you sit on the wrong side of the bar the people playing pool will ask you to move every 15 seconds. Maybe I just like this place because two chicks hit on me when I walked in, sure they were drunk, and it was probably because I was dressed so out of place that the forbidden fruit must be tasted...but I like to think it was my lumberjack musk that wafted over to them and aroused the senses, demanding satisfaction. Either way, check it out if you're downtown and are all like 'woh i only have 10 bucks left, is there anywhere we can just go chill, buy cheap beers and scope out da shawtiez? Bruddah you KNOW a tattoo gets my engine goin' and such.

What a crappy, nearly intrigue-free bar. Drunken foolishness is one thing. Ending up here because almost everything else was closed was my own fault. Citizens, plan ahead and avoid my mistake. And by mistake, I mean darkening Muldowney's door. Just...junk. If you know you'll frown to yourself in the morning in a "what a waste of money" way, ramble on. Please. Cash only, and acts like last call desperation for longer than even your average watering hole where that's to be expected. I gave it a try - you can safely avoid doing the same.

I have such mixed feeling about this place. Downey's has been my "Cheers" for the last 2 years or so, but lately the crowd has seemed to of changed a lot. We used to be able to walk in there and know everyone and enjoy a drama free night. It seems as though in the last few months when we go it's either hit or miss. Sometimes it's the regulars, sometimes it's a mix of people, and sometimes it's just a plain circus. They have themed nights (free pool Mondays, $3 tini Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday is karaoke, and Thursday is a hip-hop DJ) which influences the crowd a bit. Drinks are strong and fairly priced for being a bar in Providence. The bartenders are all really friendly (90% of the time, you can't always expect people to be happy on a constant) although some have a much wider knowledge of cocktails than others. Outdoor seating is a plus. Food before 10 is a plus. Size is a minus. All in all, it's worth a shot if you want some cheap drinking.

One of my favorite dive bars in Providence! Im a fan of drinking for cheap. Its cash only so no plastic!! I usually get a citron and soda water and its approximately $6. Not bad at all. A few weeks ago a friend and i ordered Cafe Patron.. It was only $6 a shot! Thats the cheapest ive seen. Bartenders are all very friendly and attentive. As for the atmosphere, its as divey as you can get. Bathrooms are kinda gross bit thats why you hover. The crowd is usually on the older aide. Not a.place to pick up anyone unless theyre drunk on the floor.
