Western Stars, with top-notch musicians, was playing when I was there. There was no cover charge, but they did pass the hat. I love the fact that they have live music at 6PM on a Friday night. It's not surprising that it was a relatively older crowd, with some great dancers who were really fun to watch. Street parking only, which makes it a little difficult when there are piles of snow.

I enjoy coming here from Boston area but parking can be tough so everyone come here, get early enough for good parking spot. Great musical experience !

The Strand Ballroom & Theatre (formerly the Paramount Theatre, Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel and commonly…read moreThe Strand) is a live music venue located in downtown Providence. The theatre opened in 1915 as a vaudeville theatre and later became a cinema and concert venue. I have been to the Strand several times for concerts and live shows. It's a small venue with a busy calendar and very expensive concessions. It used to be called Lupo's until 2017 when it was renamed the Strand. The few times I've been, the shows have not started on time and they are not very good telling you what the delay is about....nevertheless, it's a place for live music for young and old to get entertained.

Myrtle, which I think is one of the coolest bars I've ever seen (it has its own in-house boutique!) was packed this morning. They served a $15 brunch which looked great but, since I had just eaten breakfast, I chose to forego and enjoyed a delicious Irish coffee ($12) instead. This might be my go-to bar from now on. Street parking; get there early.

We have been to NYE and Halloween parties here and they did not disappoint! I haven't been to any of the burlesque shows yet but I definitely want to check that out.

I found the alcohol reasonably prices & the bar service surprisingly better than expected for a live music venue. There is some street parking nearby that makes it easy to get in an out if you arrive before the headliner. Music quality was good but probably a little louder than it should have been. I hope the Fete continues to book small, medium &hopefully some day larger bands.

The food, drinks, energy, and overall atmosphere are all fantastic. Everything we've ordered has been delicious, and it's always nice to see everyone having such a great time. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience, and that's been true every time I've visited. I can't recommend this place enough. I would be a regular if I lived in RI. For now I'll say, I'll definitely be back, and I can't wait for my next visit.

Since there were four of us, we ordered a few appetizers (feta and empanadas). Two of us ordered The Tower to share and two others ordered individual brunch entrees. The Tower was perfect for 2-4 people to enjoy. It included fresh fruit on the top tier, protein on the second tier, and pastries and breads on the bottom tier. I really enjoyed the salmon and avocado toasts...they were so delicious. The cocktails were amazing (As usual) as well as the mimosas. One of the owners stopped by to say, "Hello" and make sure we were good...we were better than good with the amazing feast we had spread out before us and after the drinks starting kicking in, but it was nice to enjoy genuine hospitality from the top down to our server who was professional and attentive.

It was probably the hand painted art inside with red curtains adorning them. I have to day the photos were quite captivating. Makes the place seem more inviting. The guys at the front were nice. I was rocking Malibu and pineapple all night. Heavy handed with the pour, thanks, but still had flavor. The show was set up with chairs. Thanks for the option but I wanted to stand. People did what they wanted but it was nice that a dance floor area right in front of the stage was left open for when Kid Charlemagne hit! Large bathroom, pretty clean. 2 bars and a little entry way for long lines getting in or a smoking area. Great size for an intimate show.

I appreciated that they were checking vaccine cards (January 2022), the great cocktail list, and the cool lounge vibes. The seating would be really pleasant for a small group or a casual mingle but I imagine it can be loud and hard to maneuver if it's busy. Overall it was a great spot for what we were looking for and we'd probably come back the next time we're in providence!

There are lots of queer patrons here so it feels like a very inclusive environment for folks of all walks of life. The outdoor patio is nice though we chose to enjoy our drinks inside. The bartender wasn't the friendliest, but the service was very quick and we were happy with the drinks overall. Wouldn't go out of my way to come back but also wouldn't avoid it in the future, especially if I was in the area.
