Locals in downtown Providence gravitate toward Trinity Brewhouse on Fountain Street, The Hot Club on the waterfront, and Snookers on Aborn Street. AS220 Bar inside the AS220 art complex on Empire Street is a long-standing favorite of artists and Brown and RISD students. After 10 p.m., the crowd shifts toward Federal Hill on the west side or Wickenden Street on the east side, both a short walk or quick rideshare from downtown. Tourists tend to cluster at hotel bars on Exchange Terrace, which locals generally skip.
