Mirabar

There is indeed a certain kind of man that lives in total contempt of women and he works at this bar…that unhappy scruffy guy with glasses threw my ID at me after checking it, presumably because I am young and beautiful. It is absurd to me that in 2025, at a gay bar, we are treating each other like this. Crazy work. Made a good cocktail though.

The bartenders clearly prioritize their regulars over other patrons and ignore everyone else. Waited for over 20 minutes while the bartenders continuously served the same people over and over again. Once I finally got their attention they acted like I was being super inconvenient and were incredibly rude.

Where to begin… We visited from out of state looking to see the LGBTQ nightlife in Rhode Island. Between the horrible service and very poorly made cocktails…the atmosphere overall leaves little to be desired. We later found out a themed event/party was being held by the bar itself, but it didn’t seem that anyone was really taking that too seriously. (Not that it really matters, I guess) The staff wasn’t very welcoming and mainly focused their attention to the clear regulars at this bar. Having regular patrons is never a bad thing, but perhaps some more focus on making everyone feel welcome is what makes establishments like these feel truly inclusive as they’re intended to be. It took us about half an hour to get a second drink and there were maybe 7 people total in the bar including the two of us. Furthermore…poor ethics and etiquette didn’t go unnoticed either as the bartenders were taking shots while working and perpetuating the unwelcome feeling we experienced. This may have perhaps been why the cocktails we had were quite disgusting. Can’t imagine anyone could properly pour a drink if they themselves are trashed. We hope this review can serve as a learning opportunity for the staff and management. Not everyone expects you to hang the moon…but a little more effort in making a clean, safe, and welcoming environment wouldn’t be asking too much.

Amazing drinks, hardworking bartenders, and down to earth crowd. I discovered this bar through the varsity gay league of sports in providence and it quickly became one of my favorites because of the relaxed atmosphere and reasonable priced drinks. They also have a pool table, which is awesome!

I have been here three times so far. Their food is okay, not bad, good for the price. The drinks is fine. They have karaoke night on thursday, which I like since they have a stage, feels like I am a real singer even though my voice cracking. LOL.

This place has strong drinks! The music here is more queer pop/hip-hop, and the pool table costs but tends to be super friendly, not to mention the good space around it. The staff here have been low-key in a welcoming way. There are two bathrooms. The ladies' bathroom has two smaller stalls, one large stall and two sinks, with a giant mirror on wall opposite the sinks. The men's bathroom has two urinals, a large stall and three sinks with a similar mirror. There is a barrier between the urinals and the sinks, so more privacy and less glances, if that's a concern. All genders seem to use both bathrooms, which is fine. Bathrooms are near the bar, so staff is near-by. The patio is a couple of tables on the sidewalk along the building, and maybe a half a dozen chairs. Thursday night karaoke with a contest for a partially paid bar-tab! This place has way more dance floor than some other queer bars, and also has more casual seating, too. There is decent lighting in the main area and club lighting on the dance floor.

A cute spot very low key. Not many patrons and very boring but a clean place with a nice dance floor. Drinks were reasonable.
