The Dark Lady

(122 Ratings)
Giant disco ball and sequins
A fun, spacious lounge with drag shows, retro dances, go-go dancers, and karaoke. The dark lady is a local favorite for drag shows and dancing.

Crazy Fun Time

Hey all you travelers to RI(Providence). There's a little old club in our quaint city named Dark Lady. If you like Drag Queens(Yes) Dancing(Yes), Drinks(Yes)Fun(Yes).Yes it is then. Come in and see how much trouble you can get into.

Star-f*%ing good time!

If you want to see the Providence gay-elite, Dark Lady is the place. Rumor has it the gay Mayor loves to hang out here, and in one night I saw Mr. and Miss Gay Rhode Island, Jonathan from the latest season of Project Runway, and Jessica Wild from RuPaul's Drag race! The place is well decorated (in the dark), with chandeliers and a great layout that lets you stand above the bar action and watch the hunky crowd below if you prefer. Like other places in town, there's no sign with the name of the place or even a gay flag... just look for the drag queens smoking around the front entrance on Snow St.

Relaxed but never dull!

Dark Lady is a relaxed bar, but there is never a dull moment there. Take, for instance, this Thursday when they are spicing up their usual Thursday night hot body contest with an American Idol style judges panel! They are open every night of the week and always have something going on!
