My boyfriend and I love Bar 31. The manager, Brian, is excellent. Whenever we go in, we are greeted with a friendly smile and hello. It’s a great place to dine and take your time, while enjoying the lounge-like atmosphere. We highly recommend the Mediterranean plate to start, and some of our favorite main course dishes include the shrimp, calamari, and hanger steak. We’ve participated in the trivia night there as well, and when it’s warm, we love the seasonal outdoor seating. It’s all about the details here; from the chilled beer glasses that are frosty, to having the door opened when you leave. That goes a long way. It’s a special place to go for us, and we can’t say enough good things about Bar 31!
This restaurant is phenomenal! The food is 5-star and the menu is quite eclectic. The name is quite deceiving as it gives one the impression that it is just a bar -- which is not the case. I stopped in for tapas and ordered the Mediterranean plate which was superb. The dinner menu is equally fabulous. Also, the service is superb. Stephanie waited on us and was a pleasure - She even introduced me to her signature cocktail, a blackberry Mojito, which was excellent. I'm really looking forward to going back soon and highly recommend this restaurant to family and friends. �
Bar 31 is one of the gems of Bristol, RI. When you walk in the staff treats you like a guest in their home. The executive chef and owner puts his heart and soul into every dish and every meal is mouth wateringly delicious. If you are looking for excellent service, great food, and a relaxing atmosphere look no further.
The Tapas menu is delightful as well as the regular menu. Great cocktails, Draft beer, wine and Live music. It's all great.

We just discovered this spot when we went to listen to a friend's music. Loved it. Great food, great staff, great music!
Awesome food and a pretty decent drink selection. Good choice of beer on tap. The people that work there are always friendly. Cozy atmosphere. Has become one of my favorite places!
Who is responsible for this? I am sitting at the bar, just finished the house salad- working on the garlic shrimp tapas with garlic bread. I had to order more garlic bread. This is phenomenal. Jacob, our bartender, dealt with my indecisiveness perfectly and created a delicious drink. His food recommendations are on point. This is my second time eating here and I have absolutely no complaints. 6 stars ������
We decided to go there last minute since the places on the water had over 35 min wait. We walked right in and sat down ! Had the best service and drinks. Dinner was phenomenal. One of the best meals we had in ages.
Excellent! Great food, drinks and awesome atmosphere! Stephanie was wonderful! Highly recommend!
A special place with exceptional food and a hard working, friendly staff that pays attention to the details. Thank you!
What a great addition to Bristol! Went last night with friends for my birthday and, before I even had my coat off, everyone in the place sang Happy Birthday to me!! From the customers to the owners, it has that wonderful small town vibe..Our bartender /server was excellent! ! Food is tapas style and we had great fun ordering a bunch of things and sharing..great selection to choose from and everything was great!! Surprise birthday cake and another rendition of Happy Birthday made for a perfect night!! We'll be back for sure!!
Food and drinks were amazing. The new owner and staff are top notch
Great place and great food!! Should change the name to Pier 31 food and drinks!
I have been to Bar 31 many times with various friends and we have always enjoyed the food and the service. I was there one time when there was entertainment (a three piece group from Bristol, unfortunately forget their name) who were great.
Unbelievable atmosphere and food ! Seriously everything on the menu is delicious! The waitstaff is so friendly and welcoming !
Fabulous Sword Fish special! Chef and owner 19 years at Hemingway’s. Really very special attention to detail!

Thank you Brian for your hospitality! This was my second time at Bar 31 to hear Carson. Cucumber drink and calamari are awesome.
Food, service and drinks were phenomenal..I can't wait to return. Btw....best cosmo in RI
Happened upon Bar 31 while visiting our daughter at RWU. My husband and I were having a lovely overnight stay in Bristol when we happened upon Bar 31. Great find! Best Grey Goose Cosmo ever and a fantastic espresso Martini. Delicious charcuterie and warm spinach Salad! Great and attentive staff too! I’m looking forward to a return visit.
Awesome service!!! The chef was really cool, from Guatemala. Bartender was awesome and thought I was a local. Can't wait to visit again soon! The Espresso Martini pairs well with the Creme Brulee!
The chef/owner is wonderful. Really went all-out to treat us well on our first visit. Food is outstanding. Scallops, steak and garlic shrimp especially stood out. Great, fun place to enjoy good food and good people.
Excellent drinks for our group of five. The service was some of the very best I've ever experienced.
Always an amazing time! Food is always excellent! I locked recommending bar 31 to my friends!
All of the food was wonderful, steak cooked perfectly. You must try the risotto!
First time and the place is great! This is their
Chocolate Churro Martini - Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, Stoli Karamel Vodka, Rum Chata, Topped with a Chocolate Drizzle. We shared the Mediterranean Plate but we were so hungry & impressed we dove right in without a picture first. I have ended with their Dark Espresso martini which was actually made with Godiva Dark Chocolate liqueur and it was great! Huge martini glass full. I swear an 8 oz glass! Great place to try bar side if you can, FCFS. Otherwise quaint cozy and inviting place with tapas style options for a great time out.
Excellent food, nice atmosphere and a great staff. Spent my birthday there recently.
