Total throw back loved the nostalgia but in a fresh way
The draft list and cocktail selection at this bar are excellent. The folks working there were incredibly kind, the vibes were chill, and the space was fun. There is a membership fee, which you can read about on their website, but it is worth it. Awesome place.

What a Fantastic little hidden bar. Inexpensive drinks and the beer selection is amazing. So many different styles of beer. We didn't have any food so got nothing for ya. Very cool place.

Cheap drinks but grimy vibe. Mainly for grad students and not the public. Stuffy inside too. The bartender also gets mad if you order a free club soda without ordering another drink.

The drinks and underground vibe add to the appeal. The bartender made good drinks and was knowledgeable about Providence's best dining options.

The drinks are good as well as the ambience. However, the owner was unprofessional and unethical .We came as a group of 5 and spent $10 each for entry, $170 on the bill and gave a $15 tip. The owner came up to us, sat herself on our table and said “in our culture we usually give at least a 20% tip”. While we understood her concern, we asked what a proper tip amount would be and she mentioned at least $35 to $40. We said that we are not affording to tip such a large amount in addition to our entry fee+ bill and the owner went on to say that since we spent $170 on drinks, giving a hefty tip should be within our budget.Forcing a group of customers (who are young working professionals) to give a heavier tip, telling us to leave while we were trying to finish our drink because we did not tip enough, judging what we spent and asking us to conform to the tipping culture was extremely unprofessional and rude. It’s a sad plight to have the owner come up to youngsters and ask them to tip more instead of paying her employees a sufficient wage.

Don't come here. You'll ruin it for the rest of us. ?
I went for the first time (Friday night), and the blonde girl at the entrance (asking for ID) was very rude. The people who were with me there made the same comment about her.
