Mishnock Barn

There’s no place like the barn. Looking to learn how to line dance this is the place to be. Dan albro knows how to pace his crowd. While the beginners learn the well seasoned dancers feet are kept on the other 2 dance floors to their requests.

Came here for line dancing on a Monday night, beginner was supposed to start at 7:30pm but didn’t start until about 7:45/8 so don’t rush in getting here early. The steps were easy to follow and allowed for such a great time! They have a large bar area and lots of tables to relax in between. There is a small selection of food if you want a snack and the dance floors are extensive. Super casual atmosphere and you do not need to participate in line dancing to go. You can certainly just sit at the bar and relax and watch.
The décor and dress there makes you feel like you are in Texas, so much fun and non judgmental. The line dancing is $ 10 but I am unsure if you still have to pay this if you don’t participate.
The only downfall is if you try to take a bottle of water in, they follow you to your car to ensure you put it back in your car and do not allow you to drink it? I felt like a child getting scolded for going to my car for a bottle of water to drink during line dancing. Apparently water is a sore spot with them and it is not allowed, surprised they didn’t try to arrest me for this, that is how bad I was scolded and escorted to my car haha! Buy your water from the bar or you will be ousted!

Favorite place on this green earth, hands down. Went for some rock music, found a second family. Owners, workers and patrons alike are top notch people; Monday and Wednesday nights for me and many at the mishnock barn are like mass to a catholic.

Sooooo fun. So, so, fun. I really didn’t know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. I went with three friends on a Tuesday night. It’s a beginners night so they teach you the dances then move you to the main floor to do them. The instructor was good, he really knew how to teach so everyone got it. There was plenty of room to dance and the place is so affordable. They charge 9 dollars to get in and the drinks are also really cheap. If you are looking for a fun night with friends and a good workout, this is definitely the place. I can’t stop thinking about going back!

Let me start by saying I just attended a 70s reunion with my sister in law and I spent over 80 dollars between admission and raffle tickets — and as a bartender of over12 years I would like to add my opinion — my first drink was no issue but my sister in law was drinking frozen mudslides — so by the third one the old lady decided to roll her eyes and not use any manners– we did proceed to tip every time $ 1 per drink — by the third mudslide she actually refused to make one and told us to ask the other bartender– completely disrespectful and rude — the other young bartender Jess was very nice and proceeded to make our drink — now if you can’t do your job or your that miserable I don’t think you should be behind a bar — someone should relieve that woman of her duties or there’s gonna be more bad reviews !! Overall the atmosphere was amazing and the bands were amazing !

An absolute Gem!!! I live north of Boston and I travel all the way to West Greenwich as much as possible for lessons on Mondays or Wednesday. It is so fun to see all ages out dancing (from 18ys-​60+). Mondays are slam packed… It’s hard to find room on the floor but it is awesome!!!
There is a bar and a very small snack shop. They let you order from a local restaurant at the bar if you want to order in pizza/​etc.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking to go out, those who like (and don’t like) to dance, and those who just want to hang at the bar and watch some dancing!
Wish there was a location closer to me!

What a great place! The Mishnock Barn is truly one of Rhode Island’s best kept secrets! Get the word out, the place is the real deal! Great people, great laughs and great fun! If you ever wanted to learn how to line dance, look no more, you found it at the Mishnock. Its a family run business headed by Dan and Kelly who are very, very talented. Dan makes learning easy and fun. Talent does run in the family which you can plainly see when you see their kids take to the dance floor! Don’t miss out! You have to check this place out! Its a great atmosphere!

Sooooo much fun, I haven’t stopped talking about it since Wednesday (count ‘em — 4 days later!). Get out your boot scootin’ boogie, saddle up some plaid, red/​white/​blue, maybe your closet cowboy hat and come on down to the back woods of Rhode Island for a GOOD TIME!
On Mondays and Wednesdays they offer line dancing lessons for a $ 9 cover charge, and all the kids are doing it. I saw everything from high school couples, to young marrieds, and seasoned country lovers shaking their stuff to top 40s dance and that twang, albeit modern!
It was merriment all around. Better then Zumba because you can drink (hello, beers are $ 4, drinks $ 6) and I found myself sweating more. So let’s just call this a cheap date I’d like to repeat sometime soon.

Mishnock Barn is an authentic two-​steppin and line dancing establishment. I lived in Texas for 2 years and have seen real-​deal country dancing clubs. When my wife and I walked into Mishnock, it felt like we were back in Houston.
We went on a Wednesday which is open to beginner dancers which is the category that my wife and I fit in. There are 3 dance floors; the one in the back is reserved for lessons; this is nice because you can’t see the other really good dancers on the other floors as you are fumbling around trying to figure out new dance moves. The instructor was very good but keep in mind that you have to be a quick learner as the instructions are fast and presented on the «go». A dance is taught on the back dance floor and once the instruction is done, then you move to the main dance floor to put your moves to the test. This happens for each dance that is taught throughout the night. Back-​and-​forth between the instructional stage to the main stage. There were plenty of new dancers so I certainly didn’t feel out of place as I was trying my hardest to perfect dance steps that I had just learned.
Be ready to learn, sweat, dance a lot, and have a great time. There was hardly a break to chug a beer in between sessions. I had a great time at Mishnock Barn. I will definitely be coming back. I’m a huge fan!

If you like to line dance you will love Mishnock Barn. If you have never line danced then you will love it too! Beginner night, Monday and Wednesday, offeres at least 2 sometimes 3 plus a partner dance lesson by a Wonderfully talented teacher and dancer, Dan Albro.
See you there!
