Justine's

Pretty sure you are just cooler for walking in the door of this place.  I refuse to call it trendy - Justine's is too good for that. Sexy? Yes. Edgy? Certainly.  Like everyone else has mentioned, there is no sign, and you ARE in a rather sketchy part of town when you come here.  Next to New York System, and in a building that houses a lingerie shop that doesn't quite fit the area, you walk in, get carded and behind a velvet curtain is the hippest little spot to hit Providence in a long time.

Oh, and did I mention...$5 drinks? Can I get an amen?

And these are not weak excuses for cocktails, no no: These are old fashioned, pre-prohibition style cocktails to go with the cool speakeasy vibe of the place.  I have been here twice, and my favorites are the daiquiri, and the Southside, which is a refreshing cocktail (do not quote me, but I am pretty sure it is a gin drink), and I am told, one of their signatures.  Get there early enough and saddle up to one of the booth tables to snuggle with your date or gossip with the girls.  

Justine's, I think I am a smitten kitten.

i'm a fan i'm a fan i'm a fan!

speakeasy is an abused term in this day and age. i'd go so far as to say that 90% of those purported, self-proclaimed spots are sadly mis-advertising. not so w justine's.

like the others, i'd prefer you to go and experience this intimate gem for itself. and gals, don't go alone, this neighborhood has all the trappings of an "uh oh, shouldn't have left home w/o my mace"

in my opinion, look for schmaltzy, not schmancy when it comes to the darkened doorway of this particular lingerie establishment and have fun!

Great $5 cocktails in a well-hidden location.
