The Stable

The Stable is a cozy, equestrian-themed cocktail bar in downtown Providence, and a favorite with the city's LGBTQ+ community. The room is relaxed and metropolitan, with well-made cocktails, a billiards table, music videos on the screens, and a bit of space to dance in the middle of the bar. Out back, a secluded patio is the place to be on warm nights. The calendar leans on drag: performers (some from Dragula) take the stage, Drag Race viewing parties draw a crowd, and Sunday brings the Sangria Sunday Drag Brunch. Reviewers praise the friendly, attentive bartenders and the way the bar welcomes mixed ages and non-drinkers, with mocktails and a focus on community. It's an easy first stop or a place to settle in for the night.
