Came to watch my nephew's band, Far Too Late open for Tree. Dark atmosphere. Standing Room Only. Some tables available for an afternoon set. For late evening gigs, you have to reserve the sofa area or the tables. Drinks are great. I had a cocktail and a soda for $6.oo total. Beers are $7.00. Great local and national selections. Signature cocktails are available. Parking on street or in the small side lot. Bathrooms are clean. 2 bars. Great service. No food served here.

The club itself was great, live music was incredible but there happened to be some creepy guys out when my partner and I went. Reported the guy who touched my friend inappropriately to security and they handled the matter correctly. Shoutout to the staff!

First time here to check out a band my buddy wanted to see; this place hosts metal/rock/sludge bands often, as well as other music genres. Two bars, but one was open since it was a small crowd. There are some leather couches for you to relax in between sets. Bathrooms were clean! Super chill place for an 18+ show. There's a parking lot adjacent to the venue but it was roped off. Since the doors opened at 7, finding a spot on a nearby street wasn't a problem. Drink prices were downright affordable: $6 for a 'Gansett is a steal! I like the vibe of this place and see myself coming back soon. Update (5/26): I've been here twice more in just the last month, and really feel like this is my favorite club. While it's not a huge venue like some places in Boston or Cambridge, it's intimate enough that you feel close to the performers. The bartenders are great, and I appreciate the ease that I can find on-street parking. The staff is friendly and engaging, too!

My friends and I went to an early ones only event a couple weeks ago and highly recommend going to a show here. We were originally going in February, but couldn't make it because of the blizzard. We reached out and John was very helpful in switching our tickets to the next event date. Thank you so much, John! The venue was easy to get to and we ended up parking in the lot right next door. The dance floor was big enough to fit everyone and not feel overcrowded, and there were nice lounge areas with couches on the sides. The bathrooms were clean, the staff were very nice and friendly, and they had a big selection reasonably priced drinks. The early ones DJ was the same as the one we had when we went to Boston in March- he was so much fun and we were excited to see him again in Providence. Such a great (early) night out! We had so much fun we can't wait to go to another show!
