The Grad Center Bar is a members-only, not-for-profit establishment located in the basement of an old dorm. While all graduates receive a free membership , anyone else can buy a nightly pass for $5. Read more

If you can find it, you’ll need to buy a membership ($35) which will quickly pay for itself, as the drinks are nice and cheap .

Great beer selection and atmosphere. Similar to that of the bar in Good Will Hunting.

You’ll make up that cover charge in a hurry: The beer selections are cheap and plentiful—we’re talking $2 to $4 foreign pints. Read more

You don't have to be a Brown student to get a membership and it is THE BEST VALUE in Providence for boozing.

Literally the best deals ever. Maybe apply for Brown graduate studies just to get free membership .
