Is club ego a gay night club

To create an atmosphere of inclusivity, EGO hosts theme nights, including its Detention Thursdays, Twerk Fridays and Latin Sundays, that represent different parts of the community, according to Sanchez. It has since grown to become a staple of Providence nightlife, featuring various themed nights and becoming home to the drag ensemble EGO Babes.

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Sanchez first entered the club scene in On what was meant to be a short vacation to New England, he visited Avalon, a nightclub in Boston. From there, Sanchez began hosting his own events, working his way through the nightlife industry until he met Harris. And then I worked as a busboy, and then from there became a runner, then a barback, then a bartender.

Quickly after they met, Sanchez and Harris realized they shared an aspiration of opening their own venue, particularly one for the queer community. With their background in the industry, they mobilized their connections and experience to bring their vision to Providence. This led Sanchez and Harris to realize that they wanted to support community members whom existing queer spaces tended to overlook.

After spending years building up its reputation and clientele, the club was forced to shut its doors for the better part of a year due to the COVID pandemic.

Nonetheless, with the advent of vaccines earlier in the summer, EGO hosted its grand reopening on June Pulp emphasized that EGO aims to serve as a refuge for the queer community. Now, the club is operating once again in full swing. The reopening has allowed EGO to return to its place as a key space for queer folks across Providence, with creating and safeguarding community remaining its number-one goal.
