Opened and Closed Feb ’18

Opened
Craft Burger and Beer, opened on Jan 12 and doesn’t have a sign yet, but if you’re a local craft beer enthusiast, you’ll recognize the address as the pub formerly known as Doherty’s-formerly-known-as-East-Ave. A lot of the ol’ staff is back, but the menu is completely new under the guidance of head chef Matt McGreavy. The craft beer is different, but thoughtfully curated. For now, it’s only open from 4pm on, so definitely no free soup with lunch. 324 East Ave, Pawtucket. Fb.com/Craftburgersandbeer

Fuel: A restaurant and sports bar in (and right above, with great racing views) the RI Indoor Karting, Fuel drove through its soft opening on Jan 25 and is having their grand opening on Feb 1. Classic sports bar food with a local spin and a massive brick oven they use to fire their pizzas. Darts (but not near the race cars), pool and other excitement will be on hand, along with raceable go-karts that can reach 50 mph. So watch your six at the drive-thru window. 100 Higginson Ave, Lincoln. Fuelrestaurant.com

Vibe Lounge is a new, poised-for-chillin’ restaurant/dance club with a Cape Verdean theme. 25 Broad St, Pawtucket. fb.com/Vibelounge23

Closed
Bucket Brewery: We are saddened to hear that Bucket Brewery is, well, going to kick the bucket. It will close its brewing facility and tap room in mid-March, so tap in before then for a movie night or “left over” beer. 100 Carver St, Pawtucket. bucketbrewery.com

Grin Gallery: Closing their Providence location – although pop-up exhibits may be in the avant garde gallery’s future. Closing party on Sat, Feb 3 from 6-9pm. Bring a big smile in the face of this unfortunate news. 60 Valley St #3, PVD. grinprovidence.com
