Cocktail bar founded by Congressman David Cicilline to open in Providence

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — “Clementine,” a new cocktail bar founded by Congressman David Cicilline, will open in Providence.

Cicilline, who’s a former Providence mayor, named the bar after his great-grandmother, Clementine.

The bar will take a creative spin on classic cocktails, also serving non-alcoholic drinks and small plates.

Clementine will feature spot-light pop-up chefs and guest bartenders.

“Now, at Clementine, I want to create a space where people feel welcome, whether they’re connecting and socializing with friends, taking a break after a busy work day, or enjoying a cocktail before heading across the street to watch a show at Trinity Rep,” said Cicilline in a release Friday.

The bar will open next month. It is located at 200 Washington St., across from Trinity Rep Theater.
