About Me

JERKY'S..The bar features a beer special every night and a signature drink special for some of our hardest rockers and DJs. The bar also prepares a killer mega scorpion bowl. On tap we've got Guinness, Hoegaarden, Sam Adams, Magic Hat, Harpoon, and Bass.
the grill
Jerky's is home to the world famous Slice. Developed specifically for and served only at Jerky's in two varieties (cheese and pepperoni), the Slice is a quarter of an amazing pizza that has a perfectly grilled and seasoned crust, fresh and melty cheese, and amazing sauce.
the live music hall
Our live shows are not genre-specific and cover everything from hardcore to hiphop. Jerky's also supports a number of local sports and special interests groups. These include the Providence Roller Derby, Providence Rugby, Dart League, Death or Glory Scooter Club, Danger Danger Birds Burlesque, Rhode Island Rejects, Black Repertory Company, and so many more. . We host local comedians and comics as well, and sometimes, our own employees and musicians can bring the comedy to the bar.

last week

04.07.07
Jerky's was taken by surprise by New York rockers Lourds. Despite a lineup change and a blown circuit breaker (that's how fucking badass these guys are!), the band and the bar rocked hard, and didn't slow down for anything. SixStar General and Reflections of Mortality also brought their own surprising brands of rock and metal. The night was amazing. Keep your eye on Lourds, because they will be getting very big.

04.06.07
RockHunt participants GROW came out with Kris Hansen and Big Jon Tierny for a fun night of new and fun music.

03.31.07
Route .44 and A.K.A.C.O.D. kick out an awesome show. How fucking awesome to hear a saxophone used as an electric guitar? And of course, Route .44 got the audience dancing with their own special brand of rock 'n roll.

03.30.07
KANERKO, SOMA CITY, and RISE tear up the bar with an amazing rock show. We can't wait to see them all on our stage again soon!

03.22.07
SHAKEDOWN had its final night at Jerky's. DJ Shred Alert and Van Hand Job decide to take the night to METAL MAYHEM... death, hair, black, heavy, nu... if it's metal they're going to play it. Fun times were had with SHAKEDOWN but its time we embraced the nature of the beasts...

03.02.07
Local psychobilly kings SASQUATCH and the SICK-A-BILLYS slay the stage with The Arkhams (NY) and Providence's hotter-n-hell The Fury III. Miss Natalie fills in on drums for the SICK-A-BILLYS.

02.24.07
New York rock extravaganza Bling Kong takes over the club with Providence's The Cold War and Will Brierly & the Roller Hoasters. The show was something kind of trippy but rocked out hard, and we can't wait to have them back this April...

The F.I.D.'s rock the club with Short Drop MethodUK. Awesomeness all around.
