A Splash of Vodka
Perfect 1864 Vodka Introduced in Rhode Island
By Paul Pence
Not being a liquor drinker, I can’t tell you personally whether or not Perfect 1864 vodka is indeed the world’s smoothest vodka. I can tell you that the Grandes Distilleries Peureux is actively marketing this new liquor in Rhode Island, first with an unveiling party at the West Deck in Newport and then sponsoring the 20th Annual Bastille Day Race at Pot au Feu on July 14.

Organized Mahem
Unexpected Company brings spontaneous comedy to the Ocean State
Entertainment Article By Paul Pence
Often, on Sunday evenings when I'm headed to bed, I mentally kick myself for once again missing a chance to laugh myself silly. That's because I missed yet another presentation of side-splitting comedy by Unexpected Company, the best Improv troupe in Rhode Island. ...
Boot-Scooting Fun
Learning Country Dancing at the Mishnock Barn
By Paul Pence
Even in Rhode Island, there are some people who yearn for the strains of a country fiddle, the croon of a voice singing of the basic joys and pains of life, and for the feel of the wood floor bouncing when a hundred dancers step to the Cotton-Eyed-Joe. For thirteen years, Dan Albro has opened the doors to the Mishnock Barn and welcomed both seasond and new country dancers for Texas three step, line dance, and choreographed partner dance.

Dinner, Music, and a Pint of Irish Ale
Ward's Publick House, Warwick, RI
Review by Paul Pence
Everyone has a favorite Irish pub. We've visited a few here in Rhode Island where some are Irish only in name, where the only thing there that is Irish is Guiness on tap. We have, however, found an exception in Ward's Pub.

WaterFire
A Presentation of "Trois Venues"
By Linda S. Manning, Staff Writer
Have you ever traveled to Europe and explored the city squares of Italy or France? Dotted along St. Mark’s Square, around the Trevi Fountain in Rome, and in small groups peering up at the grandiose Eiffel Tower in Paris, you'll find a communal gathering of people leisurely strolling for a daytime or evening promenade. Whether you stroll along the banks of the waterfront in Europe or in downtown Providence’s Waterplace Park with new acquaintances, close friends, or visitors to the Renaissance City in search of a way to slow down, to saunter or to take pleasure in the streets lined with people, a feeling of tranquility surrounds you.

Whate Happened to Thursday Nights?
The Providence Nightlife is Changing
By Brian Maksymowicz
What happened to Thursday night? That’s what I want to know. The last couple weeks haven’t really been that great for a night out in Providence on our weekly “club night.” Did I miss a memo or something? Has the glory of going out on Thursday night just died away? ...

Rhode Island Irish Pubs
Celebrating St. Patrick's Day The Right Way
By Brian Maksymowicz
There comes a time every year when everyone can go a little crazy, drink a pint of green beer, and call themselves 'Irish'. It’s St. Patrick’s Day. Where in Rhode Island can you go and celebrate this colorful holiday properly if every bar and restaurant in Rhode Island becomes an “Irish” bar and offer “Irish” treats? Where are the real Irish bars?"
Four Flavors of Dance In One Place
Mardi Gras, Cranston RI
By Mat Johnson
For the dancer with a broad taste in music, or perhaps one who just can't quite make up his mind, Cranston offers Mardi Gras, a dance "location", with four dance floors, each devoted to different music.
Not All Clubs Are Created Equal
The Keg Room and Finnegans Wake
By Mat Johnson and Brian Maksymowicz
Providence has so many different night clubs that you can go to that it can sometimes be a challenge to find out which ones are worth going to again and which you wish you got your money back for.
In and Out of Providence
Renaissance, Atwell Avenue, Providence
By Mat Johnson and Brian Maksymowicz
Going to a club in downtown Providence some nights is just plain tiring. It’s not the actual club or dancing, but everything else that comes with it. Everyone knows that on a Thursday or Friday night that the city streets are going to be packed. Maneuvering around everyone who doesn’t know where they are going and those people who just don’t know how to drive in a city gets old fast.
Supporting a Great Cause by Sampling Beer
Mat and Brian visit the 17th annual After Dark Beer Tasting
By Mat Johnson and Brian Maksymowicz
Who wouldn't support a cause that offered a night of free beer tasting for a donation? For the past 17 years, the Multiple Sclerosis Society has been doing just that; each year a host of beer producers brings their best beers to be sampled by donators in a convention-style setting. This year the location chosen to hold this event was the Crown Plaza Hotel in Warwick, RI.
Cognac, Cigars, Martinis...
The Grind Martini Bar, Cranston RI
By Mat Johnson and Brian Maksymowicz
When thinking about a pleasant place for a nice cognac and cigar or even martinis and sweets, you wouldn't immediately think of Pontiac Avenue in Cranston as a place to start looking. And even if you do spot The Grind on a ramble through Rhode Island, you're unlikely to realize that you've discovered a superior martini bar and the ideal place to unwind...
Making a Splash in the RI Nightlife
Harbourside Night Club and Restaurant, East Greenwich, RI
By Mat Johnson and Brian Maksymowicz

Boston Billiards
More tables than you can shake a cue at.
By Mat Johnson and Brian Maksymowicz
If you’re looking for a nice place to get a drink after work with some friends, catch a quick bite to eat that’s not fast food, and, most importantly, play a game of pool on a real pool table, Boston Billiards is the place...
Get the Euro Feel
Club Ultra, Providence, RI
By Mat Johnson and Brian Maksymowicz
When thinking about going to a club in Providence, what matters most to you? Is it the atmosphere, the music, the surroundings, the selection of alcohol? Or is it the people that attend? If all of these in mind, Club Ultra offers possibly the best club experience in Rhode Island...
Union Station Brewery
A place for a quiet drink and good food
By Mat Johnson and Brian Maksymowicz

By Paul Pence
Flowing wine, ribald song, abundant food, and even a fun-loving wench or three! What a way to spend the evening! ...
Nightlife Isn't Just For Kids
IYAC in Providence's Westin Hotel
Live music, dancing, food, and spirits to lift the spirit might seem the realm of the 20-somethings who pack Providence's hot-spots. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of options for people who don't crave ear-splitting music and elbow-to-rib crowds.
Chan's Jazz is 25
A history of jazz and eggrolls in Woonsockett

Drinking for a Good Cause
After Dark beer tasting for MS
By Linda Eagleson
One of my favorite things is spending the evening with a favorite friend, enjoying a sense of decadent decor in a beautiful old hotel, and participating in a cause that was very worthy. I recently went to the annual MS After Dark Beer Tasting, at the Biltmore Hotel in Providence, to support research and development for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis and had a great time...
