There isn't. Last time I went to a proper dance club here was a decade ago and I am fairly certain that was gentrified into Plant City. There wasn't a huge scene back then and there seems to be less of one now (from what I hear).

I totally forgot there was a club there. 👀 what was it called? I wanna say the Loft but I could be wrong, I only went there once.

According to Google, it was the Loft. All I remember is that it had the coat check, DJ, dancing, and Bottle service you'd expect to actually see. Only time I've ever seen anything resembling that kind of set up in Providence, but it looks like there was some kind of issue with the city and they shut it down (only time I ever hear clubs mentioned here is when the city is trying to pull a license).

I think that the city probably finds the lack of clubs a feature and not a bug. There are rarely more than a handful of bars which close late and are located near each other and even rarer that those bars all offer dancing. My hometown (different state) had a club district exclusively made of bars and it was always a huge mess to dump 100s of drunk people out on the same street at 2am.
