Western Stars, with top-notch musicians, was playing when I was there. There was no cover charge, but they did pass the hat. I love the fact that they have live music at 6PM on a Friday night. It's not surprising that it was a relatively older crowd, with some great dancers who were really fun to watch. Street parking only, which makes it a little difficult when there are piles of snow.

Gotta love this unpretentious local spot to see live music. I've seen a lot of bands here but my…read morefavorite was a Vapors of Morphine show. It's rarely crowded so you can almost always have a good view of the stage. Friendly, chill vibes and a decent selection of beers.

The Strand Ballroom & Theatre (formerly the Paramount Theatre, Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel and commonly…read moreThe Strand) is a live music venue located in downtown Providence. The theatre opened in 1915 as a vaudeville theatre and later became a cinema and concert venue. I have been to the Strand several times for concerts and live shows. It's a small venue with a busy calendar and very expensive concessions. It used to be called Lupo's until 2017 when it was renamed the Strand. The few times I've been, the shows have not started on time and they are not very good telling you what the delay is about....nevertheless, it's a place for live music for young and old to get entertained.

Myrtle, which I think is one of the coolest bars I've ever seen (it has its own in-house boutique!) was packed this morning. They served a $15 brunch which looked great but, since I had just eaten breakfast, I chose to forego and enjoyed a delicious Irish coffee ($12) instead. This might be my go-to bar from now on.

I found the alcohol reasonably prices & the bar service surprisingly better than expected for a live music venue. There is some street parking nearby that makes it easy to get in an out if you arrive before the headliner. Music quality was good but probably a little louder than it should have been.

It was probably the hand painted art inside with red curtains adorning them. I have to day the photos were quite captivating. Makes the place seem more inviting. The guys at the front were nice. I was rocking Malibu and pineapple all night. Heavy handed with the pour, thanks, but still had flavor. The show was set up with chairs. Thanks for the option but I wanted to stand. People did what they wanted but it was nice that a dance floor area right in front of the stage was left open for when Kid Charlemagne hit!

Wouldn't go out of my way to come back but also wouldn't avoid it in the future, especially if I was in the area.
