Led by Fiddler Bob Drouin, a beginer friendly intermediate session. Big on "bread & butter tunes" and singing is welcome. Patrick's Pub can be smokey at times.
This is the most beginner-friendly session in the state, Bob is a very personable and generous session leader, and there is plenty of room for as many musicians want to participate. The owners treat the musicians well, and I have never had a bad time at this session. The only drawback from my perspective, is it does not start until 8PM, and some of us are early risers that need to work in the mornings!

Because of recent RI laws, Patrick's Pub is now smoke-free. I add to the above comments that it's a great beginner-friendly session. Great atmosphere, and some very talented musicians willing to show the ropes.
'twould be nice if it started sooner. I find myself leaving by 10:30 at the latest because I get up at 4am. Still, one can pack a lot of learning.
I dropped by this session while on a trip. The musicians were very welcoming, and the tempo nice and steady. I had to leave it early, but it was a very enjoyable session overall.
