EGO Providence

This is the worst establishment I’ve ever been to. The place has minimal crowds and creeps. They have rejected my real ID as well because I didn’t have my Covid card in 2023. The people that work there have been quite rude every time I’ve been there 5 separate times. Would not recommend this place to anyone. Protect your peaceFood: 1/5

If this had 0 stars I would rate it 0. The bouncers did not let me and my friends in because the guys looked straight and said the girls can get in though. This is absolutely disturbing! God forbid this happened at a normal club not letting in a LQBTQ member because they “look gay”. It’s 2023 either EGO needs to get new bouncers that don’t kick out people that look straight or I will ensure to start protests outside of the club on the public sidewalks. The bouncers are predators and are clearly trying to keep away masculine guys to ensure they have no competition to wonder off with under the influence people at the end of the night. It is absolutely sickening. Look at all the comments! This is not the first time this happened. It’s 2023 EGO… hire bouncers that can actually do there job and not act like there above the law. I don’t care that your a private club and can deny entry whenever. Just wait till cops find out under age people are getting in and “straight looking” people can’t. And the funny thing is my best friend is a trans man and he got denied to. It’s a joke. Bouncers all have zero respect and won’t go anywhere in life hence why they are 40 and bouncers.

Rafel and Rob the two owners our wonderful guys and offer great services to the customers in this nightclub. It is cater to a younger crowd however anyone can have fun regardless of your age. The music is always great the staff tried their best to be nice to all the situations going on and most of all quite a few of the bartenders are very nice and helpful. They make good drinks that don't cost you a fortune and the dancers are always great. The security team is always good there and very overprotective which I think is valuable in today's climate . They do check you out the door and pat you down to check you over for safety which I fully agree with and I'm glad they do so people are safe. The drag performers are amazing and well put together I totally recommend this place 100%.

If I could leave no stars I would. Bouncers would not let my friends into the bar because they looked straight. The gag is one of my friends is gay and the bouncer told him there had been a history of straight people causing violence in the club but my friend corrected him and told the bouncer he was gay. Then the bouncer kept changing his narrative saying "Oh well sometimes it’s the gay people who start the violence". My friend is tall and black and this bouncer racially profiled him and assumed he was violent due to his race. This bouncer in particular abused his power and veiled his racism by pretending to care about queer lives when in actuality, he does not care at all about queer people. Definitely not black queer people. If you’re queer and black don’t come here! He and his other employees who didn’t call him out on his blatant racism should be fired. Period.

I’ve been going to ego regularly for the past 5 years. It used to be a safe space for my friends and I to go and feel accepted/comfortable…until recently. The bouncers have been completely abusing their power. I recently went with a group of 8 friends. 4 of us got in, and the other 4 were told to leave and not to come back because they were too straight. They told us not to bring our straight friends back. That was the second time one of my friends wasn’t allowed in. The first time he wasn’t allowed in because he “looked like someone” who had gotten in trouble there weeks before. It was not him, and they did not care to listen. I do not feel like ego is a safe space any more. Security is way too strict and simply rude. They have no regard for the loyal customers who have been giving them business for years and years and will continue to cater to the young white college crowd.

Security outside here is awful! They are rude, and arrogant. I went with 5 girls, and immediately was harassed by some old guy with a staff t-shirt. He started interrogating me about “why was I here” and “if I knew this was a gay club”. The experience was just shocking and I will never be returning here again. I promise you they will kill your vibe before you even step foot inside. It is absurd that these guys are still there because I thought these reviewers were exaggerated but nope.

Worst place I’ve been to, don’t waste your time. They over charge for everything and the bouncers are rude for no reasonFood: 1/5

Ego is a judgemental club so if you look straight or have straight friends you will be turned away by the guy at the door called Mike. The club is dirty the staff get security to clean up which isn't there job...if you want a clean bar hire cleaners.the bar also constantly smells of weed due to staff smoking inside. One dj just uses a YouTube mix all you've got to do is Google search the songs they play and it'll come up with a YouTube Playlist. Nothing about this bar or club is lgbtq inclusive or friendly if the staff like you they will treat you well otherwise don't expect to get let in due to this mike wanting to be a God in this bar

This place is definitely not a friendly place to be, I always feel so awkward in there like I don’t belong. I’m so scared to even try going to a different club because this one is just full of pretentious people who look at you like you have five heads. Security is very aggressive, from my few experiences here. Dietary restrictions: No food

over the past few years ego has been widely known as a “gay” bar for underage straight teens to go get served and they really outdid themself this pride. i have never seen/known so many people under 21 blacked out in the streets of providence. horrid. points cus theyre queer and only cus theyre queer
