This was the place to be on New Years eve, and Ill definitely be coming back because this place has it all. Theyve got the pole, the stage, the disco ball, and even a separate room for your more casual bar-goers to sit down and chat. Only downside is that the drinks are a bit pricey

Fun gay bar with frequent drag shows. I enjoy coming here with friends to dance and watch performances, but usually try to pop in before they start collecting entrance fees.

$70 for ONE round of THREE drinks during PRIDE. That was two vodka sodas and one Truly. Have been many times and this was price gouging at its best and is illegal. Bartender had to look up the price of a drink. Will never go back. Same round of drinks at the stable and eagle were 1/2 that or less, also during PRIDE. No thanks. They should be shut down by the AG Of RI. Already filed a complaint. Not worth it.

Great place with great staff, only complaint I have is that its a time bomb. They need wayyyy better security. You can walk in with anything and seeing two fights break out and one of the dancers having to get involved was too much. Other than that its lovely

Getting charged 3 different prices for a shot vodka & corona is interesting. First round was 17, second round was 15, and third around the as 14. I always tip 25% Black people beware you will be treated differently.

Love this place! Welcoming atmosphere. The staff are always very friendly! So thankful to have such a welcoming and judgement free space to dance and mingle. Great drag shows My! My only critique would be the playlist on sauturday nights. It is literally the same Playlist for the past 6 years! My friends and I can almost predict the next song before it plays. Also, not much current/relevant tracks played. We have been through a lot of changes since the pandemic, opening up the dance floor should reflect that. Regardless, this club is always a good time.

Along with the adjoining Alley Cat, this is our favorite bar in Providence. Everyone is welcome, the staff is friendly and the music and funky decor are excellent. Theres a very unusual sculpture or two and one of the largest disco balls Ive ever seen. The Dark Lady is normally a dance club, but because of coronavirus it has been reconfigured with suitably-spaced tables and is for the moment a chill cocktail lounge. Still well worth a visit. The Alley Cat next door is currently being used as the service bar and is not open to the public.

No lesbians allowed. Went in with my girlfriend, we were caught staring at each other in the line and when we went in to pay cover, we were denied entry without any explanation. A friend of ours with us even pointed out the look of disgust from the bouncers at us. Really horrible way to treat people trying to come into your “gay” club to have a good time. Don’t waste your time here, better go somewhere where they respect people and there are no bigots.

Typically I love coming here, great owners and attractive staff!! But it’s becoming a repeating theme of a drunk drag queen talking about politics all night inside/outside the club..kind of off putting. I came here to relax, dance & laugh! Just food for thought. Other than that, I truly love it here!!

I used to really like this place. Its Friday night and they are having a horrible drag show. Its almost 1am. My friends came down from Boston and I took them here. Next time Im going to Ego. We wanted to dance. The show sucked. The show should probably be at 9 or 10pm not at 12am when people want to dance.

Went on a Saturday night. Place was very busy and had several bachelorette parties there. There was a drag show around midnight. Drinks were typical pricey bar prices. However in my opinion a $15 cover charge was way too high.

I do love coming here when I visit providence! However the drag shows always ruin it for me. They go on for too long with really bad audio. You can’t hear what the queens are saying so it just sounds like really bad white noise when they talk. By the time the show was over we had about one hour to dance the rest of the night.

Paid a cover to get in, went outside to meet a friend, they wouldnt let me back in because it was to late even though I had a wrist ban on. It wasnt too late 5 minutes ago when you took my money. Argued with the bouncer who called the cops. The cops told the bouncer that theres nothing they can do because Im not inside the establishment so the owner got pissed off and came outside to call me white trash
