Bar is overrun with loud college kids, most of which are straight frat boys so coming here as a queer person can be very uncomfortable… I wish the atmosphere had more diversity.

Unfortunately they are likely racist. Yes businesses have the right to remove people from their establishment but they shouldn’t be discriminatory in the process

From the street, Glou presents a charming and demure atmosphere. A white cedar shake hut, with a well lit patio, on a tree lined street. Imagine my surprise when, before even opening the door, club music was blasting so loud that the door handle vibrated in my hands. It’s dark, it’s cozy, it’s deafening. Had 2 amazing carafes of wine, but bar staff notable did not offer or present any water. The cookie was good. The music was much too loud for the crowd, evidenced by the fact that no one was dancing and everyone was shouting. Maybe it was an off night, or whoever had the aux was thrashing at the confines of their cage, but for a couple that wanted a cozy quiet night. We were pleasantly surprised by a sit-down club. 5/5, just give me water next time.

Shocked that you wouldn't replace my cold red wine when I told you I wasn't enjoying it...do people drink cold red wine? Sangria is one thing but I mean come on...is this a RI thing? Also, get some acoustic panels for goodness sake, maybe you would hear your guests are not not as happy as you think, pay attention bro

Love this small cocktail bar. Great outdoor space, interesting wines and awesome cocktails. Would love to see them change up the cocktail menu once in a while, as I've had all of them, but they will also make anything else you want. Had a great dirty martini.
As a resident of your neighborhood I'm so glad Glou is here! The drinks are all great, they have a wonderful selection of wines, and the atmosphere is gorgeous, clean, and relaxing. The bartenders are great and always make you feel comfortable and obviously they make great drinks! You MUST check it out if you appreciate well-made cocktails and a vibe that fits everyone <3

Great vibes and awesome drinks. The mocktails are also good. The hummus plate was exceptionally tasty as well!

Cool place. Something about 80’s disco and black strap rum really gives this place a homey vibe.

There’s a new 5/5 cocktail bar on the scene in Providence! (Ok, ~new~ may be relative, but I was able to try Glou for the first time yesterday on NYE after having them on my list to visit for months!)Spectacular cocktail program, service, and vibe all around. Another win for Fox Point to have such a cozy, inviting, and innovative cocktail bar in their backyard.There were 6 unique cocktails to choose from in addition to 2 bonus NYE drinks, a wine/beer list, plus non-alcoholic drinks, and food. We got there early in our NYE revelry and we were able to find a table for 3 no problem. (We even scored a window seat!) There’s also a heated patio out back to check out if you have a larger party.The cocktails were spectacular. Well-balanced with an array of different liquor bases and aperitifs—rest-assured there’s going to be something for everyone on this menu. The bartending team is also amazing and wonderfully accommodating. There was one drink I really wanted to try that had roasted cherries in it, but I have a cherry allergy. I let the bartender know and we were able to pivot into a Gin Fizz with honey, ginger, and a dusting of sumac on top!Can’t wait to return more frequently in 2024 and try the food menu as well. Cheers to the team at Glou!
