thx

Does anyone remember a venue from the early 90's right next to the old McDonalds and Sportsman Inn in downtown. Forget the name

Sorry to hear this. I hope one of the suggestions above can help you minimize your cat’s suffering at the end.

This is near you. Don't dismiss it, lots if friendships and couples have formed contra dancing and it is super fun, live music, high energy and great exercise. No alcohol. No partner or experience needed. I am your age and I promise you this is not square dancing like we were forced to do in Junior High gym class. DM me if you want more info.

Gregg’s at lunchtime.

youre welcome, I think you would enjoy it there.

gracias!

Field House pub in East Providence. Live music and dancing

133 club seemed to be an older crowd last time I popped my head in. Definitely more of a bar but they have live music and pool tables.

edit: I just wanted to add since you're not much of a drinker you could try an art class at the Steel yard or one of the clay studios, or check Meetup.com for a group that lines up with your interests.

West Greenwich Animal Hospital is very knowledgeable and compassionate to both the people and the pets. Highly recommend. I'm sorry for your loss and your cat's pain.

Columbus Theatre

thanks holli

Not providence, but, theres a bar called the last resort in smithfield and there is usually an older crowd there. they always have live bands. good food and beer of course. good luck!

From what little I know, it used to be much harder to join one. A person would have to know 3 languages or have done some academic achievement that is comparable. They are clubs for people who want to improve themselves, or just hang out and have a beer.

Most likely not your cup of tea, just posting to show they are out there.

If you’re curious, it was this show that got me interested in lodges.

I noticed someone posted something about social clubs, I guess they could be the same thing as a club or lodge?

ok, thanks

I'm not sure this is exactly what you're looking for as it's not a night club, but Providence Swings is great (in Pawtucket). Solid range of ages represented, they're excellent at teaching swing dancing, you rotate partners so even if you came with someone you meet people, and they host social events after lessons/regularly.

i guess i don't really know what a lodge is. i'll check it out

I think lodges are cool. They have athletic events, I bet some take part in amateur sports like softball.

thanks!!

nickanees or dusk

lol.. thanks. im not that old. lodge? :) i am athletic and happy... but where do people in 30s and 40s go? no venues cater to that demographic? i see a couple suggestions above.

You know you could just not reply if you don’t know the answer to a question online right?

thanks. i actually live 30 mns east of providence, but not much happening here. so, its an hour round-trip to go toprovidence, but i dont mind. but, i thought there must be someplace where people go thar are a bit older. i'm no much of a drinker but want to socialize more.
