About
Step into Bobby's Place and you'll find a large, multi-room club with a vintage Chevy Monte Carlo parked on the dance floor. The front video lounge plays retro DVDs, a middle room holds two pool tables, and a spacious patio with a tiki bar draws smokers and drinkers alike. The mixed gay/straight crowd can be a bit unfriendly on some nights, but the space itself has genuine potential.
Open Wednesday through Sunday evenings, the bar serves standard drinks and foods at a third-tier price point. Designated Bear Nights happen on Fridays, though the crowd can be small and include curious straight patrons. The video room's DVDs can glitch, and the vibe varies widely between visits. Happy hour is reportedly strong, and the bartenders are cute.
Located in Taunton's South Shore area, this is a long-standing gay bar outside the major city hubs.

From the community
A good mix of gay men, queer folks, and straight women. Always comfortable going there dressed as a woman. Karaoke is fun, music is great, bartenders are cute, drinks are strong, and the vibe is low-key but rowdy. Happy hour is good, but don't bring your mom. The crowd is fun and the place has a swanky feel.

Bobby's is actually located in Massachusetts, about 20 miles east of Providence, so it's a good distance away by New England standards.

“A disappointment - but oh, the possibilities...”
I visited Bobby's with three friends on a designated Bear Night, which was a Friday. The crowd was very small and mixed, including several straight people there out of curiosity who were decidedly unfriendly. That's a shame because the place has great potential with large rooms, a nice dance floor featuring a vintage Chevy Monte Carlo, a pool room with comfortable seating, and a pleasant patio for smokers. However, old DVDs playing loudly in the video room often malfunctioned. I understand a bar in a smaller town has to appeal to different tastes, but the bar's claim of offering something for everyone seemed, at least that night, to offer nothing for anyone.

“A Little Bit Of Everything”
This club is fairly large for its location. The front area is a video lounge that was playing a lot of retro videos when I was there. The middle section has a couple of pool tables, and the back has a big dance floor. There's also a large patio with a tiki bar that's popular with smokers. The crowd is quite mixed but pretty friendly overall.
