Providence Lounge

Not a bad place at all! You just have to make sure you arrive early to get a table! Theres teo levels with each level having their own bar which makes it great if you are buying drinks from the bar. We went on a Saturday which got very crowded but I still got to enjoy the music. They played latin and hip hop. Will definitely consider going back as long as we have a table reserved. Prices are a little pricey but your are in NYC it is expected! Was very hot on the second level and music seemed to be lower towards the back by the bar on that level. We found parking spots all around the club which was a huge plus!

Where do I start? I went there on Saturday night with my girlfriend to meet up with some friends from out of town to celebrate one of their birthdays. We made sure to look at the dress code before getting ready to go out. They mention guys must wear shoes and button downs, no sneakers, no hats, etc, so ok cool I threw on some khakis, a button down and shoes, looking dapper. I walk up and see a group of guys with foamposits, airmax, and Jordans. Ok fine, they don’t really adhere to the dress code. Then there are two lines outside, one for guest lists and people buying bottles, and one for others. We were on a guest list with bottle service and didn’t realize it until later, but I’ll circle around to that. We finally get to the front of the line and one of the bouncers comes over and was surprisingly pleasant, he just told us to have our id’s out and enjoy our night. We proceed inside and get patted down, fine.
Proceed to the front desk, two girls ask us if we’re on a guest list and I said no… One girl says ok, 40 for you, 30 for her… Stop the record… Did I hear that correctly? $ 40 for me just to walk inside to fight for a spot at a bar to buy an iced down drink for $ 15?! I almost told my girl let’s go spend $ 70 down the block at 20 other places. Turns out we were on a guest list for my friends birthday party so my lady was free and I was charged a $ 20 cover. Now my question is are these prices just made at random based on their own qualifications or are these set prices? Because there is definitely no price list to be seen. What is the reason for such a steep entry fee? It’s hot inside, crowded and guys outnumbered girls at least 2 to 1. I’ve never seen a «club» let in a group of 11 guys, all breaking dress code and without charging them, and turn around and charge a couple the cost that those goons should have paid. Don’t bother getting bottle service, as they cram tables together and groups of 10 try to encroach on your area, stealing booth space. They have an upstairs and we were given bracelets to get up there, but if you don’t, you’re not allowed to even try to go up. Lastly, the thirst is strong with some of the characters in there… ladies, prepare to be hunted. There’s a perimeter of thirst mongers just looking to pounce. Looked like a high school dance on a pre-​workout supplement. Between sweating as if I was at the gym, getting originally charged a total of $ 70 to enter and rude bottle service neighbors… I won’t be going back. The only good part was getting to see my friends.

Was here last night and had the worst club experience ever. Will never give this place a dime again. It started out with the terrible bottle girl who charged me and my brothers bank card and came back lying and said they declined. For us to check our account and see they took money off both cards. So we had to snap on her bout that. Then she says oh I’m sorry it wasn’t your cards. Then there’s no phone service in this building. So if part of ya party is outside they cant get in contact with you so now your running in and out to find your people. Now on to the bouncers that decided to fight with females instead of checking the guy who attacked my sister she wouldn’t pay him no mind. They let the guy walk right pass them and grabbed up a group of females. And the pussy light skin bouncer in the skully punched my sister in the face. and ran after. Yea we seen you punk Some tough guy you are. to this place.

love the Providence was there yesterday and had such a wonderful time ran into old friends the drinks were awesome including the food.

This place has potential to be better.

Music great, drinks good, crowd is so so. There were about 3 fights that broke out, but when your 30 years old all of it is amusing. Good thing they body search you.

If u could give 0 stars I would. DO. NOT. GO. on every level they are completely rude, unorganized and disrespectful. From VIP (bottle service) lines to closing out a tab. I go clubbing in NYC often and this has taken the cake for disappointment.

Went here during a snow storm .no line bouncers where friendly the host who collect money was rude I had to go outside till my party came to avoid As fee anyway great night awesome green apple martini

I came here for a friend’s birthday. This place was recommended to her by a promotor who shall remain nameless. Basically, if you’re ghetto then this is the place for you. Everything about this place is horrible and if you have an ounce of class, I’d suggest you stay clear. Thankfully, I didn’t spend a dime since everything was comped by the promotor.
Summary:
Rude staff
Grungy décor
Super ghetto clientele
Overpriced drinks (from what I heard)
Mediocre music

Celebrated my birthday there. Good spot, all types of music. Promoter I dealt with, Nigel, was great. Erika at Providence was great and stayed in touch with me during the two month process of planning my event. Jessie at the venue was great… the reason why they didn’t get 5 stars was the bouncers… I walked up to one of them (ratty looking guy who needs a razor to his face)…and politely asked what to do since I had bottle service. He was VERY rude and didn’t help me at all… instead acted like a «tough guy» and sent me to get in the line. luckily Jessie was there and remembered seeing me at an event the nigh before and she was able to help me. I’m sorry but if I walked up to the guy with an attitude, I’d be ok with the bouncer speaking to me he way he did… but I was simply asking what to do and he came down on me like I was nothing. I spent over $ 2Gs in there… more respect is needed from the security. Played all types of music… I didn’t go downstairs to the reggae section but I heard it was live! Main floor was cool. I had a vast group of people and everyone had a great time.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! My friends and I made reservations for bottle service 2 weeks in advance and specified that we had 10 people, wanted seating, and put in our bottle orders for this past Saturday night. We arrived around 12am and were told to wait in line. Then they had a seperate line for vip. When you have vip, isn’t it supposed to be speedy entry? We were forced to wait in line for about 40 minutes. By the time we got inside, we were talking to bouncers and other assorted people who weren’t even familiar with our reservation! They even still made us pay $ 20 a piece for admission even though we were getting bottles. Talk about nickel & diming you. Then we finally got in and the waitress didn’t know our order. She wasn’t attractive (aren’t they supposed to be? And aren’t they supposed to be happy to serve you?). She was nonchalant in getting our orders. Then they upped the price of the bottles we had agreed on. She took so long we decided to go. Once we were ready to walk out they apologized and said they’d give us the price we were promised. But when we sat down, the waitress took another 15 minutes to take our orders. When she finally came over she said the price is the same. We decided we had enough and decided to go to amnesia. It wasn’t even packed in providence! Really bad service, lack of a hostess, lack of waitresses. They didn’t really care too much about our experience. Plenty of bouncers though. Do yourself a favor and go some place else. Not worth it! And the DJ talks over records. Ridiculous!!!

Huh? This was an absolute nightmare. From getting body searched at the door… a prelude of what was to follow. $ 20 bucks to enter. $ 3 for coat check. Ordered a grey goose and soda where the bar tender gave me well vodka and my friend got a martini without olives. Both were in plastic cups. Saturday is apparently hip hop and reggae night, reminiscent of a high school block party that was about to go seriously wrong. Thank God we left unscathed. I’m from Providence and and this place had no resemblance of the city whatsoever.

Great NYE event. top 40s till midnight which was annoying but then good house music afterwards. Premium bar was legit but crowded. Lots of h’orderves, was pretty impressed. Bathroom line for women was a nightmare.
