Electricity Social Club

Electricity Social Club occupies a loft-style space inside Atlantic Mill, a historic industrial complex in the Olneyville neighborhood of Providence, at 122 Manton Avenue — Right Tower, 2nd Floor. From the outside the building reads as a plain old factory, with no signage pointing to what's inside. The interior opens into a spacious loft-fitted club with a dance floor, a stripper pole, a full sound and light system, a BYOB bar stocked with mixers, lockers, and a dedicated smoking lounge. It is an on-premise, members-only lifestyle venue and one of the most talked-about lifestyle clubs in New England. The club runs Friday and Saturday nights from 9 pm to 2 am, with specialty events — including a bi- and pansexual-friendly Bi Voltage night — on the calendar. All guests must hold an annual membership (available at the door) and pay a per-party entry fee; valid photo ID is required at every visit. The crowd skews toward couples and single men, with reviewers placing the typical age range in the forties to fifties, though visitors span their twenties to late sixties. The atmosphere is described as laid-back and friendly, with action picking up after 11 pm. The play areas cover a wide range of preferences: a large main group room with couches ringing a dance floor and stripper pole; a small dungeon stocked with a rack, sawhorse, and floggers; a side room with beds and fresh linens; exhibitionist beds in a hallway where a velvet rope signals openness to company; and approximately ten fully private, attendant-managed playrooms. The club is BYOB — bring your own alcohol, free mixers provided — and is cash-only at the door. ESC describes itself as on-premise and welcoming to LGBTQ, pansexual, and bi-friendly guests.
