EGO Providence

If I could give zero stars I would. The bouncer felt me up and then didn’t let us in because they thought we were too "drunk" when we had all had one drink prior to showing up. I used to love this club but I will never come again. When we waited on the public side walk for our ride, the bouncer shoved us. Be careful of this bar, especially if you are a female.

Great atmosphere, very friendly bartenders, and excellent service. The only negative I have to say is the attitude of the security guards; they're very rude. When you arrive, some are very nice, but when it's time to leave, they don't even wait two minutes; they're just plain out of the way and have attitude. But otherwise, it's very good. The drinks came to $9.50, which isn't too bad. And they were very well prepared. There is no food service. As far as I know.

I have been going to EGO for a few years now and never had any problems until recently this year (2025). The security/bouncers are just so rude now and it makes me rethink about going back there. Why should I give a business my money when they treat me and my friends like shit. I understand it can be frustrating dealing with people especially when they are drunk. But when my friend group is actively walking out the club and a security guard threatens to smack my friend if they don’t hurry up and get out, that’s when I have a problem. You don’t threaten people especially when they aren’t doing anything to you. It’s sad, really enjoyed coming here and whenever anyone suggested going to EGO it was a no brainer we were always down, but I think it’s time to look for a new place to have fun that won’t threaten us :). Aside from the disrespectful security/bouncers- the bartenders have always been super sweet and the music is good. So thank you to the bartenders and DJs, y’all are amazing.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Very unprofessional and disappointing Went to this club last night with a friend, and the staff completely messed up our night. They gave me a wristband at the door but not my friend, even though we both showed ID. About an hour later, a security guard rudely snatched my friend’s drink and tried to kick him out because he didn’t have a wristband — which was their mistake, not his. When he went to show his ID again, they even denied seeing him come in, which made no sense. The manager eventually gave him a wristband, but the whole situation was handled so poorly and unprofessionally. The staff clearly needs better training and communication.

The people working security here are on another level. As I was getting patted down the female patting me down grabbed my breast and asked "what's this" while touching my bra. She then proceeded to glid her fingers across my downstairs area in between my legs which I've never experienced during any other pat down. made me feel very uncomfortable. Another time I was the designated driver for me and my friends for the night and I was denied entry for being too drunk the bouncer even said "honey you're a mess". I think they thought this because I was limping due to an injury but besides that I was very clearly sober. After getting past security you'll have a fun time.

I went in the dead of winter with my friends. I paid to have my coat checked. We had lots of fun and the vibes were good. However, when we were leaving, we discovered that the person doing coat check was clearly not actually checking tags. They lost my coat. When it became clear that there was a problem, the coat checker pretended that she had actually been checking tags the whole time, which pissed me off. The manager was kind and helpful, and eventually compensated me for part of what was lost, but I had to walk around Providence in January in a thin sweatshirt. Less than ideal.

What a weekend job and a black shirt does to inflate a security guards ego is insane. I see why the club is named that because most of the security team is on a power trip. Judging by other reviews this isn’t just a unique experience but I’ve had a drink ripped from my hands and thrown away because I let a friend hold it. We left soon after. I felt like eyes were all on us the entire rest of our stay because I let my friend hold my drink to take a photo. The bartenders are so sweet and complimented us and made a pretty dang good mixed drink! Yet I couldn’t even taste it for very long as it ended up in the trash. Physically grabbing it out of someone’s hand is crossing the line. You work security at a queer night club. Get over yourselves.
