I know this is described as a speakeasy-style spot, however, I didn't really get that from it…read more Since it's not very mysterious and is located downstairs, I almost think they should call it an underground lounge instead. There are TVs all around, which gave me more of a sports bar or karaoke feel. It's definitely lively and it seems great for groups. We came here after dinner for drinks. The drinks were not my cup of tea. My friends and partner thought they were okay. The cocktail names were creative, however, they were on the sweeter side, which isn't my preference. This probably isn't our usual type of spot, though I can see it being a good place for dates or groups before or after the club. It has a younger, energetic crowd, and I can see people having a good time here. Street parking can be tricky. Overall Service: Service was fine. Everyone was nice, and they were able to get us in on a busy night, which I appreciated.

Really disappointing experience at Rooftop at Providence G. The cocktails were not good and the…read moreservice was poor across the board. I ordered a bottle of white wine and the server just set it down on the table with no ice bucket. When I asked for one, she came back with an empty bucket -- no ice, nothing in it. The food was just as bad. The chicken wings tasted like plastic, the baby carrots were served completely burnt, and the tuna tartare had zero seasoning -- literally just cubed fish with nothing on it. On top of that, no one ever checked back to ask if everything was okay -- not the server, not the host, no one. The spot honestly has potential, but the staff seriously lacks professionalism. The only positive was the fire pit. I absolutely do not recommend this place.

A fun Cinco de Mayo private event last night at the Rooftop at the Providence G! The atmosphere was…read morelively & festive, with great energy all night long. The food stations were a huge hit: delicious tacos, loaded nachos, assorted pizza, unique egg rolls & a trio of churros with chocolate & dulce de leche sauces. It was a fun mix of options, so there was truly something for everyone. The staff was friendly & easy to find whenever we needed anything, which made the event run seamlessly. One unexpected highlight was the view! I don't usually think of Providence as having a standout skyline but it looked absolutely beautiful from the rooftop. A great venue for private events, celebrations or just enjoying a different perspective of Providence!

The music is loud and it feels like a club vibe inside so definitely not a family restaurant but super fun for date night or drinks with friends.

Honestly really disappointed with this experience. From the second we walked in, the staff made us…read morefeel like we were inconveniencing them just by being there. We ordered a hummus tray as an appetizer and somehow it came out at the SAME time as our entrees. I genuinely don't understand that, especially when it's hummus and pita chips and there really isn't anything that needs to be cooked. Why bring the appetizer out with the actual meal?? By the time I tried to enjoy the hummus and move onto my entree, my food was already cold. The hummus itself was pretty bland, the burger was overcooked and burnt, and the pita chips weren't good either. There was also this cigarette-like taste to the food that I couldn't get past. Unfortunately, between the service, the timing and the food, this was just a really disappointing experience. I really wanted to like this place, but I wouldn't go back based on this visit.

But updating to describe the excellent cocktail Bianca made me!…read more I've been getting the espresso martini by default here cause they are quite good...but my drink of choice is usually a citrusy gimlet of sorts. I mentioned this to Bianca when I was ordering and she essentially said "say less"... made me the perfect drink. I was so pleased... it can get quite busy but if you know the general profile of what you're into- Bianca will get the vision and make you the perfect cocktail. It's that personalized touch that'll get me back again and again!

Maybe could've been done in a nicer way, especially because I still tipped and covered the drink (and it was not busy in the slightest). Anyway, the space was really nice but I wish they would've let her turn up her music more so we could've danced.

I visited Medici Lounge for the first time today for the RI Tacos and Tequila Fest with a friend…read more Overall, it was a fun afternoon and I'm grateful we were able to go. The venue itself is spacious and handled a large crowd well. The multiple margarita stations were a great touch and added to the experience, though a few could have used a bit more ice as the day went on. There was a long line for tacos and at one point we had to wait for fresh batches, which slowed things down a bit. I also wish there were more options for those with food allergies or dietary restrictions. That said, we enjoyed connecting with a mix of new vendors and familiar faces, which made it feel like a great local event. The nachos from Casa Azul Taqueria were definitely a highlight. We also loved the photo booth, it was hysterically fun trying to switch props in three seconds. Another standout was making succulents with @sassysucculentsri, such a fun and unique addition to the event. Medici staff were friendly and kept things moving during a very busy event, which I appreciated. The music added to the energy, though it was a little loud at times. One small note, GPS brought me to the wrong entrance, but signage helped once I got close. It was a fun experience overall. A few tweaks would make it even better, but I'd absolutely check out another event here.

This is the definition of a TRUE speakeasy…read more Grad Center Bar originated as a beer bar and expanded to cocktails, wines, and more. I cannot tell you how much I love this place. Entry is $10, or $35 annual memberships (start September every year). The prices of the cocktails are so reasonable and rare to see in Providence at $10 to $12. The beer offerings vary from cans or draft, with impressive offerings such as Bissell Brothers from Portland, Maine. As someone in their 30s, I do give warning this is more an undergrad/grad place so late hours are usually crowded with students (after 9pm). I usually drink there earlier in the evening as a pre game spot lol I will always recommend Grad Center Bar.

We visited around 8pm on a Saturday, and there was a line of about 15 people in the stairwell. We waited about 20 minutes to get in, with $5 entry fee per person. And it was well worth it all because - honestly, you just gotta experience it! It is a typical dive bar with affordable drinks, but it's not shitty drinks either! We got a green tea shot to get our night started - Jameson whiskey, peach schnapps, sour mix, sprite. Very refreshing and goes down pretty easily, can't even taste the alcohol but it's definitely there! Such a chill place to wind down and catch up with buddies! Maybe play a game of pool while you're at it!

I was a former Chicago Nightlife promoter for 10+ years. Therefore i may have a bit of a bougy taste... What!? i'm just saying. this may be the best nightclub/lounge in providence, but clearly i've experience better. -=Parking=- Parking is always an issue when going out. We drove around for a sold 20 minutes and ended up valeting it. At the end of the night, the valet service was quick and promot -=Decor=- whoa! i think i like what i see... the decor of any venue speaks for itself.. therefore this new little lounge was yelling modern, clean, edgy and fun to my face... and i was yelling back with my dance moves! oh yeah! The owner did a fabulous job on the decor... i just hope they keep it clean -=Bottle Service=- Getting bottle service here was a bit confusing... I walked up to a random table looking at the bottle menu and expected someone to come to my attention... but that didn't happen. luckily i knew one of the cocktail waitress what was working and order a bottle of henny ($275). They service the bottle of Henny with orange juice, cranberry juice and pineapple juice; this is a bit odd since you would expect this from a clear liquor such as belvedere or gray goose... but what ever, they need to work on their protocol behind the bar... Regarding the Cocktail/Waitress Service, our service was awesome! give these girls a raise! clearly made our bottle service worth while. -=Entertainment=- Coming from a guy, they had a sexy and seductive dancer on two pedestal.. haa-ba haa-ba! Please reference the pictures attached. ^_^ -=Dance Floor=- Is it me, but guys in rhode island dont dance? So i felt a bit out of place busting a few moves...
