Made the drive out to Mario's...

Made the drive out to Mario's on a Tuesday night after reading reviews promising full two-way LDs. This would be my 3rd club in MA, but everything I've read promised more of a Providence-experience without the extras.

Got there around 8pm, paid the $10 cover and ordered a beer at the bar. I wasn't expecting the odd layout, with the bar right next to the tall "U" shaped stage. No one sitting down at the stage, everyone at tables and chairs in the "back". If you don't want to sit at the bar, the choices were either sit at the stage and look up or sit far back at the tables/chairs -- almost too far away.

I thought about sitting at the stage, but it felt a little too high up for me. Because of the length of the club, I guess they need to make it visible to folks sitting at tables/chairs. But my preference is a low stage where the rest of the club is raised up, similar to Mac Two's. Regardless, I wasn't there for the stage show, so I grabbed a table.
