Tinkers Nest About

It's going to be a great 2010 at Tinkers Nest! With a new menu, extended beer selection, super entertainment line-up, and renovations under way, this will be our best year ever...and you're invited to join us!

Tinkers Nest was established in 1994. Since then there have been many changes and we've doubled our size, but we've still maintained what Tinkers was intended to be: a friendly neighborhood gathering spot, in the Irish Pub tradition. Don't settle for a corporate owned Irish "style" pub...the real deal is right here at Tinkers Nest.

Owners Dave and Rose and the hand-picked staff work hard to ensure that your visit is a memorable one. Whether you're stopping in for a pint, joining us for dinner, or checking out the great music, you'll always find friendly staff and patrons in an atmosphere that brings you far away from where you've just been.

Historic Warren Rhode Island is on the Massachusetts border, only 10 minutes from Providence. There is plenty of free off-street parking in our lot directly across the street. Visit our directions page on how to get here!

Our food menu is always expanding and changing. We take great pride in offering you a great selection of wonderful appetizers, sandwiches and entrees, including seasonal specials such as Rose's stuffed quahogs, and Dave's Mutual Aid hot wings!

Our Beer selection is one that any pub would covet, with over 60 imported, domestic, and specialty beers. Our bar selection is equally as admirable!

Let Tinker's Nest host your next private party! We'll take care of everything from special menu items to decorating and entertainment. We'll ensure that your guests will enjoy a memorable time in an extraordinary fashion!

Enjoy live music every Friday and Saturday night, when we feature some of the finest entertainment available. You'll hear everything from traditional Irish and Celtic music, to popular and classic rock and blues. Check out our Calendar for the current schedule, and our Band page for information about our musicians. We also run special entertainment Events at other times throughout the year, so check back often, or join our email Newsletter for the latest happenings.

Tinkers Nest participates in the Great Guinness Toast every year, and also presents the hilarious play Finnegans Wake in February. Spoofing a traditional Irish funeral, this event is enormously popular and celebrates the famous and ever-present Irish sense of humor and fun.

On St. Patrick's Day, there is no place quite like Tinkers Nest. We recommend that you pace yourselves accordingly, as we open at 6am for a full Irish breakfast, followed by the best corned beef and cabbage this side of the Atlantic for lunch and dinner. We erect a tent in the backyard featuring a full bar and live music, in addition to indoor entertainment and countless other activities that take place throughout the day until closing. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable celebration of all things Irish!

The Tinkers Nest Anniversary Party is held in June as a special 'Thank You' to all of our customers. Free food, giveaways, raffle prizes, and many of our regular bands show up to entertain you throughout the day.

Anytime is a good time to visit Tinkers Nest. Stop in to throw darts, listen to music, have dinner, or just enjoy a pint. But be aware that most newcomers become regular customers, and we're happy to have you join us!
