About Me

The Greenwich Hotel is located at 162 Main Street, East Greenwich, RI 02818. 401-884-4200. The lounge is open 7 days a week: Mon - Fri: 5:30pm - 1am, Sat: 10:30am - 1am, Sun 12noon - 1am We also rent rooms by the week and night.The building is 112 years old this year and has been undergoing a slow but successful restoration. Check out the before and after pictures located in the pics section. We are in the process now of expanding the lounge area and offering expanded entertainment. This new venture will be called "Cafe Mahogany."
. ... Check out this new CD by a new favorite band of mine for only about a year now. I saw them for the first time last year on Cyndi Lauper's True Colors tour and I think they are fantastic. It's like punk meets the theatre. This is their new release>>> LOVE LOVE LOVE the DRESDEN DOLLS.. :) check out their myspace too: http://www.myspace.com/dresdendolls and http://www.myspace.com/whokilledamandapalmer This is Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls song called "The point of it all." I think she is one of the most talented new people out there. She's fresh, has style, stage presence, and I just love her music.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

...anyone who would like to stop in and see the Hotel and it's architectural beauty and all the changes it's been going through over the last several years. In the past, the Hotel has had an infamous reputation of being a little rundown and rough around the edges. Over the years, I've worked very hard to clean up that diamond and now, it's beginning to sparkle again. The architecture speaks for itself and I just ask that you to come in and have a drink and make up your own mind. Can you survive a drink in the Greenwich Hotel lounge? You be the judge! . .

Music:

We are grateful to be blessed with the support of all the talent that has been playing at our open mics and in our new Thursday night Original Acoustic Music Series. THANK YOU!!!! . . To all musicians inquiring about open mic hosting or the original Thursday night acoustic band series, please contact Frank Martyn regarding all bookings at: www.myspace.com/frankmartyn

Movies:

Mahogany with Diana Ross... "Do you know where you're going to, do you like the things that life is showing you, where are you going to, do you know? Do you get what you're hoping for when you look behind and there's no open door, what are you hoping for, do you know"

Heroes:

Mom and Dad for being there no matter what. RIP Dad, miss you very much. Boy George and Diana Ross for giving me the musical inspiration that has led me down this path with the Hotel. Had I loved sports, I might have made it a sports bar. Nah, I love music!! :) However, we'll always try to accomodate those who love sports too. We can all live together!!! Thanks to everyone who has helped me during this restoration process. The list is endless. And on a personal note, thanks to all my customers and friends who have supported the Hotel throughout the years. I appreciate each one of you, THANK YOU so much.
