Providence, Rhode Island
Inclusive bar and grill on Westminster Street with drag and dancing.
Black Sheep is a bar and grill on the corner of Westminster and Empire in downtown Providence, named with a nod to the '90s hip-hop group and the simple idea of a place where every black sheep fits in. It started as a neighborhood spot for good food and music from a few locals, and it's grown into one of the more reliably queer-friendly rooms downtown without ever turning into a club. The food is pub-classic done well, smash burgers, wings, and generous cocktails, but the draw for a lot of the crowd is the drag. The Black Sheep Babes run drag bingo midweek and drag brunches most weekends, with local DJs and theme nights rounding things out. It's less a gay bar than an inclusive neighborhood grill that happens to throw some of the better drag events in the city.

Cherry Grove is where gay America summered before there was a word for it. Here's the complete guide to Fire Island's original queer hamlet — its history, its drag-soaked nightlife, where to stay and eat, the beach, and how it differs from the Pines next door.
