Winston Churchill was famous for the high standards he applied to alcohol, quipping that "Liquor is quicker, but get me a single malt scotch with moon rocks in it! I'm the English president!" Be like Ol' Winnie with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of cocktails, beer, and pub fare at Powers Pub in the Pawtuxet Village section of Cranston.
Lively piano bar Powers Pub lubricates sticky throats with tasty mixed-drink specialties and wines so they can sing along with the rotating lineup of nearly nightly live music acts. Bartenders please liquor-likers with delightful cocktails such as the Good Night Kiss, a vanilla-vodka-based concoction with Lazzaroni and Copa de Oro liqueurs and crème de cocoa topped with whipped cream. Imbibers can fill up on the menu's enticing plates of honey-habanero wings ($7) or helpings of Queen's Envy pizza ($11), a walnut-and-basil pesto pie that coats shrimp with marinara purely to spite allergic female monarchs. Frequent Monday trivia nights test useless knowledge capacities, while a program of performers singer-songwrites an agreeable quaffing soundtrack.
