a bar with two stools

You definitely have an opportunity to get wrecked at the shipwreck and that may be all you need. This lounge has an upscale feel with a fire pit and some awesome outside seating. The drinks were decent and it is a fun place to gossip. You do have to walk up a hill to get there but you certainly can roll down it with the right beverages when returning.

My friends and I visited Shipwreck Lounge on our last night in Provincetown. It was a cold night, but they have a single fire pit outside that another group was at so we sat in the comfortable wicker patio set nearby instead. The outdoor patio has a really nice vibe, warm lighting, and some cocktail tables. We ordered drinks inside. There's a $25 credit card minimum, which is an outrageous amount (I've seen $10, which is legally compliant and more realistic), but given that one drink costs $12-$13, it's not too hard to hit that minimum. I ordered a rum punch -- well made, tasty, and with a paper straw, too. Bartender was alert, friendly, and easygoing. The restrooms are on the lower level and very clean. I would visit again!

Came for the weekend and will be back! Great place to grab a drink with no attitude. Mike at the bar inside was great and we enjoyed our stay all three nights! Will be back again. Not sure how we missed the place all summer long! Great vibe for sure!

Unfortunately despite a great atmosphere and lovely decor it appears that I'd been taken advantage of by a bartender. After ordering two vodka sodas for something like 40 dollars, I went on my way... returned home and found a few days later that an exorbitant tip of over 50% had been added to my receipt which I most definitely did not issue myself. Had I not received an alert from my bank (because the tip was so ridiculously high it came off as suspicious..and that, for two drinks I simply ordered and walked away with, no service to speak of) I wouldn't have known at all that they took such liberties with their customers. Truly appalled.

I came here with friends during the summer and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Jacob made our drinks and they were ok. I couldn't find Marly but the other cat, Dylan, was right next to my seat which was absolutely wonderful - he was a super friendly and calm cat you could pet while hanging out. The people who came here that night were also friendly and sweet and the place in general was comfortable with multiple places to sit and chill. Ultimately I came here to have a good drink with friends and though the atmosphere was wonderful I wish the drinks were better to justify a higher rating.

By far my favorite bar and place to hang out in all of Provincetown! Jacob makes the best cocktails and always does so with a smile! The decor is very modern and cozy. On Easter, they put peeps on top of the martinis! So cute! I love to relax on the outdoor patio next to the big firepit and socialize with my new made friends. Heaven.

You can't really leave P-Town before coming here. Crown & Anchor is a consolidation of attractions:…read morea hotel, a restaurant (Butch's), a video bar (The Wave Bar), a piano bar (Dive Bar), an art gallery, and several venues focused on the predilections of their patrons, whether it be leather kink (The Vault), cabaret (The Crown Cabaret), or where Jamie W and I went, The Paramount Club, the largest space in the complex replete with two bars. We came to see drag legend Varla Jean Merman in The Errors Tour. Yes, it was a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Taylor Swift and her Eras Tour intertwined with Varla Jean's own career highlights including her off-Broadway musical stint with Leslie Jordan. Going through several costume changes, she was a hilariously throaty delight with a trunkful of one-liners. Tickets were $44, and seats weren't as crowded together as I feared.

We agreed to sit in the last row of chairs if we would be reimbursed the difference. He offered us a free drink. My Husband or myself do not drink alcohol. He then said we could have water. That was just a big insult to the issue at hand. And I told him that I frequently visit the establishment every time I visit Ptown. His reply was I don't know what to Tell you buddy. I will Not be returning to this establishment in the future.

You will too, but you've got to first step over the threshold. Incidentally, I'm not a fan of the term dive bar. It's disrespectful. Someone owns the joint and made it just the way they like it.

Definitely would never go to this bar again. I'm obsessed with PTown, but this bar needs be under new appropriate, professional, respectful management and need to take care of our community!

Bring cash, do not say no one warned you, bring tons of cash…read more Sal's Place was one of my favorite food stops in Ptown. The restaurant is so pretty, the view is gorgeous, and the staff is so nice. Our waiter, Ivan, was a real treat. He made sure we were having a good, fun time from the minute we sat down. We were particularly impressed when, on realizing we were all going to share the Caesar salad, he brought out the salad already portioned into individual bowls. Also shout out to the focaccia bread and the amazing staff making sure we always had enough! I cannot recommend this place any more. If you're in town, you must make a reservation, it's worth it

We were seated at a cozy table for two with beautiful views of the bay, and from that moment on, the experience was flawless. Ivan was the consummate professional, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. He guided us through the menu, made thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel like regulars from the moment we sat down. His colleague kept our glasses filled with ice-cold lemon water all evening, a small gesture that was especially appreciated on such a sweltering night. We also had a second serving of delicious focaccia without even asking!! The service was effortless. You never had to look around or wonder where anyone was. Someone always seemed to appear exactly when you needed them. The wine was perfectly chilled. The food arrived piping hot. Every dish was beautifully prepared, balanced, and full of flavor. Nothing tried too hard; everything simply worked. One of my favorite parts of the evening was the atmosphere. No blaring music competing with conversation, just the soft hum of happy diners, the occasional call of a seagull, and the peaceful feeling of dining by the water. And then came the fudge at the end. Really? As if they hadn't already won us over. Sal's Place isn't just dinner, it's the kind of experience that reminds you why people fall in love with Provincetown. Thoughtful hospitality, incredible food, a spectacular setting, and a team that genuinely cares. We can't wait to return.
