If you're after a playful night out with drag shows, go-go dancers, and karaoke all under one disco ball, The Dark Lady delivers. This Downtown Providence lounge keeps things mixed and lively, with a giant disco ball and sequins setting the tone.
Weekend hours run 2pm to 2am, making it a solid afternoon start or late night stop. Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday are your best bets for a crowd. It's casual, with a full bar and outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. The daytime drag shows draw a loyal following, so check the schedule if you want to catch a specific performance.

“Trannylicious Night at Club Body Center after the bar!!!”
Club Body Center, a friendly bathhouse, is just three blocks down the street and features an amazing TG/CD Night. Enjoy the performances and then join on the first Monday or third Thursday of each month.

“kickass place”
I love this place; it's friendly and open to all kinds of people. The atmosphere is great, and the people are wonderful. The only downside was one bartender who had a bad attitude and acted like he was better than everyone else.

You can use the rideshare app with promotion code to get $20 off your first ride, instead of driving home drunk or waiting a long time for a taxi.

“WOW”
It was worth the two-hour drive from a neighboring state. It's a bit too noisy, but the drag show made up for it, being one of the best I've seen recently. I'm planning another trip soon.
