About this place The Stable

The Stable, a gay bar at 125 Washington Street in downtown Providence, offers a laid‑back vibe and a crowd that spans generations. Just a few blocks from Trinity Rep and the Providence Performing Arts Center, the bar sits on a quiet stretch of Washington Street where office workers and theatre‑goers drift in after rehearsals. It’s not a club; the space feels more like a neighborhood hangout. During the week you’ll find regulars nursing after‑work drinks, while weekends bring a louder, fuller room as newcomers join the mix. Patrons consistently mention the bartenders—quick, friendly, and surprisingly knowledgeable about the cocktail menu. The drinks themselves are solid, with a few house specials that keep people coming back. The Stable opens at noon every day, shuts its doors at 1 a.m. Monday‑Thursday and stays open until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Its hours make it an easy first‑stop or last‑call in a compact downtown LGBTQ scene where most venues attract a broadly mixed crowd.

Great Sunday Funday bar! Came here with my boyfriend after brunch for a lazy afternoon and had a wonderful time. It gets busy mid afternoon so get here sooner or be patient while the friendly staff makes their rounds up and down the long but accommodating bar.

Stable in Providence has really stepped things up. The new menu is fresh, creative, and full of great options while still keeping the laid-back vibe the place is known for. It’s also the first stop on the Fruit Loop, which makes it a perfect place to start the night. You can tell there’s strong management behind the scenes because everything runs smoothly and the staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Definitely a great spot to grab a drink and check out the new menu.

Place is very easy to get to. Such a wonderful atmosphere. Very inviting with great music and a beautiful crowd. Bartender Brent Varao is such a jerk and is always leaving early. I'm supposed to give him 2 stars but he is so gorgeous, he gets a pass.

One of many gay bars in Providence. They have music videos playing, and some space in the mid bar area to dance around. The service is great even though the drinks are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for given the size of the glasses they serve aone of the drinks in. It can get a bit crowded depending on the night you go, but what bar doesn't get a decent amoubtbof people in it especially on the weekend?
