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!

Such a cool atmosphere! I walked by this place a few times and decided to go here with a friend before dinner and it was so chill! Loved it! The design of the space is also very chic!

Glou is a bar with some snack options. The bar has cocktails, mocktails, wine, and beer. The indoor area is low lit with lots of small tables. Outside they have a large patio with string lights. I've gotten two mocktails and both were really good. I particularly like the spice baby drink I got recently. It had all the flavor of rum with spicy citrus.

Wonderful, relaxed spot to get cocktails!Glou is a cozy little spot with plenty of outdoor seating which makes it a perfect place to get drinks in the evening during the summer and early fall months. The drink menu is a rotation of the current house cocktails which offers a decent variety of liquors. They do also offer zero proof cocktails which we greatly appreciate!They do also have a small selection of small bites to snack on.The atmosphere indoors is very dark, giving the space a very intimate feel. We visited with our friends this evening and had a wonderful time.If you're looking for a place to get good cocktails to start off your evening we highly recommend this spot!We will definitely be returning!

I love this place! It was small and a big space at the same time. The drinks were great! I felt comfortable and safe here.

Good drinks but we waited 30 minutes to get a drink very slow service.
Hip, charming, mod.- Creative cocktails- Wonderful ambience- Gorgeous architecture/interior design/lighting- Bomb playlist (Dabuell - whoever is on aux has impeccable taste)- No wifi (so be it)- No under bar hooks for coats/bags (I forgive you)- Friendly/talented staff- Well equipped bar - from chartreuse to luxardo- Outdoor seatingIn many bars' quests to be the perfect, nonchalant neighborhood joint, somewhere along the way, the vibe becomes too fabricated. Not to wax too poetic here, but Glou is clearly trying the *right* amount of hard. The vibe is enviable. Well done.

10/10 for drinks and atmosphere. You can get a cocktail or a beer or a wine. Also little finger bites. Highly recommend.
