About The Nitro Bar

In 2016 founders Audrey Finocchiaro and Sam Lancaster built a subpar coffee cart in Audrey's parents basement. From there they took their wheels to the streets of Providence, Rhode Island -- popping up everywhere from farmers markets, to Brown University, to sheep shearing events, and every event they'd get the invite to. Going anywhere & everywhere their coffee drinkers demanded.

With winter fast approaching, the days of the cart were numbered. Audrey and Sam started the search for nitro's forever home. From there they quickly partnered with local restaurants, breweries and farm stands to get their nitro cold brew on tap. Come that spring over 50 local spots carried their magic bean juice.

Little did they know their story was just beginning. In the winter of 2018 they opened up their first brick and mortar location in Dash Bicycle Shop on the West End of Providence, Rhode Island. Soon this 600 square foot space would be packed with locals lining up to get their hands on their craft lattes and breakfast sandwiches.

Fast forward to today—with 3 (soon to be 5) brick and mortar locations, over 60 incredible team members, and 70+ tap locations, Nitro has become a Rhode Island (and soon to be New York City) staple.
