Providence Piers

Fabre Line Club

Welcome

We have just opened the DOCKSIDE DINER and the SPAR BAR at the entrance to Dock Conley. The Spar Bar (so-named because our principal articact is the Pirates of the Carribean which had been temporarily affixed to the Sloop Providence) has a Class B (full) liquor license. Come for lunch at dockside or for drinks, snacks, or ice cream at twilight on Tuesdays through Sundays during the summer months and until the Providence-Newport Ferry ceases its seasonal operation on October 16th. The Fabre Line Club now has a full service bar. In addition to beer and wine, we are now licensed to serve mixed drinks.
