Liquid Lounge

This booze fueled basement party is a hit for college kids looking to enjoy a chill night of drinking with friends. The DJ, consisting of a man playing music off of his computer, plays the best of the 90’s, but will play most things by request. A night at Liquid doesn’t get better than when the night ends with Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” and the entire crowd sings along.

Roxy

The legendary Boston nightclub has now brought the next level of nightlife to Providence. There are amazing visual effects and even a CO2 machine to make for a unique dancing experience. Beautiful people fill the VIP rooms and hot and steamy dancing fills the dance floor. You must be 21 to get in, but they aren’t very strict with IDs.

Club Eagle’s/Clubbies

Club Eagle’s is the middle ground of local hot spots. It allows for both dancing and conversation and ranges from very casual to dressy in attire. It’s a popular hot spot to hit up after Louie’s on a Friday night. The cover is normally $3, and you must be 21 to get in. But they aren’t too strict on IDs.

Club Hell

Club Hell is not hugely popular with PC, but when things start feeling, repetitive this place will definitely shake things up. Hell themes its nights; Erotica night on Wednesdays and “Communion” parties on Sundays attract interesting goth characters. You must be 21 to get in.

Louie’s Tap

Louie’s is the epitome of a hole in the wall bar, but PC students love it. It comes complete with swinging saloon doors for the men’s bathroom and a trough to urinate in. Louie’s is also popular on Friday nights before heading two doors down to Club E’s. You’re supposed to be 21 to get in, but Louie’s can be pretty relaxed about IDs. Cover is $3.

Fish Co. Bar and Grill

Fish and Co. is another senior hot spot located downtown. Classier than the usual PC spots, ladies get in free on Thursdays. Fridays and Saturdays, cover charge is $5 and you must be 21 to get in.

The Whiskey Pub

PC students enjoy Whiskeys because they can drink from real glass glasses and have plenty of room to get their groove on. It is also enjoyable because you will not be surrounded by forty-year-old locals or non-PC students.

Patrick’s Pub

Pat’s Pub is a nice local hangout that is more of a sophomore and junior bar. Pat’s features tables to order food and drinks, a pool table, and occasionally they host live bands. While there’s scarcely room for dancing, people will attempt it anyway. There is no cover charge, and you must be 21 to enter.

Bradley Café

Brad’s is a hangout bar great for conversing or playing a little Beirut. The mixed drinks tend to be bigger here than other bars and twice as strong. Thursdays are $2 mixed drinks and they can pretty get crowded. You need to be 21 to get in and cover varies, but usually does not exceed $5.

The Abbey

Great for karaoke and for food, the Abbey tends to be an upperclassman bar. It is a relaxed and laid-back environment. You must be 21 to enter.

Eagle Park Independent club (Olds)

An upperclassmen bar, Oldes hosts Karaoke on Tuesday nights and a modern day jukebox is there for your listening pleasure every night of the week. You must be 21 to enter, no exceptions, unless you know the bouncer that is.

Danny's Place

When Louie’s and Clubbies are being strict with IDs, students head to Danny’s Place where they know they will be let in, as long as they haven’t yet reached capacity. Known as the new “freshmen bar,” Danny’s leaves much to be desired for any other grade, most importantly people their own age.

Chad’s

Chad’s is a karaoke bar downtown. It can be a great time for the new freshmen that want to go out, as it is 18 and over. The place is tiny, but it’s a total blast if you’re into singing.
