Want to dance the uninhibited night away? Jovan's is a jamming nightspot that spins hip-hop, R&B and dance music for grooving revelers until the wee hours of the morning. Saturday nights ooze old-school tunes with Hot 97.7's Reggie Beats and the Saturday Night Throw Down. Jovan's bills itself as New England's largest African- American-owned-and -operated nightclub, and as such, it attracts a diverse clientele. The atmosphere may be casual, but make sure your clothing isn't. Jeans, hats and sneakers are prohibited, and while clubbers don't go over-the-top, they do turn out in chic nighttime attire. Only those age 21-plus are invited to party. A $10 cover gets you in the door for a full night of fun. -- Keri Fisher

falling off
By dstizzle73 on 02/02/2005
Used to go on fridays in the early 90's when it was small. After the renovations and a "Live" (hot) DJ it started attracting a diversified crowd that stayed packed. Management forgot the core people that helped get it to where it was and started getting outrageous on prices. Fridays currently are packed but unimpressive in the sports bar area. Upstairs in the main area is open Saturdays when it used to be strong but is now falling off. Need some better promotion. Parking is a huge risk as I personally know 5 people who have had their vehicles broken into. Not good.

This is definitely the place to be. The place was packed with beautiful people and good music has a NY vibe. Jovan's staff was excellent. Drink prices were no different. I traveled from Hartford, CT to experience Jovan's and don't regret it. I will return.

An honest review...

Jovans overall atmosphere is sketchy at best.The customer service is sometimes lacking and the drink prices tend to fluccuate from month to month.I do give the owners major kudos for having established such a major force in the nightclub industry (Black,White or otherwise).Continue to give back to your long term customers!!This definately will continue to set you apart from the rest.

Meat Market

It's a happening place to go because it is the only place in Providence to go for real hip hop, real r&b and real reggae. The drinks are average. Some are pricy. Ladies are off the hook. Black, white, Latina, Asian are all represented. And they come from all over. Boston, Hartford, and beyond. GET THERE EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 10 youre screwed. Lines reach around the block. DRESS TO IMPRESS. Mostly a mature, thug free crowd. Security is DEEP(Providence PD). They dont play. Over all it is HOT!!!
