This dark, subterranean watering hole on Commercial was the very first bar Jamie W and I patronized…read moreonce we landed in P-Town. For some wishful reason, I thought it was a full-out gay bar, but no, when we heard the booming voice of the drunken slattern at the bar, we knew it was a place that welcomed anybody and everybody. Nothing wrong with that but some show tunes would've been nice. We soon realized P-Town doesn't really have straight bars, just different flavors of gay ones. The bartender was friendly, but the vibe was off for us. We weren't into pool or ping-pong but still made time for a couple of their signature cocktails in paper cups, the $16 Margarita for Jamie and the $14 Blue Hawaiian for me (Photo 2). They were on the watery side, but hey, the evening was young. COCKTAILS - 3 stars...not quite the kick we were looking for AMBIANCE - 2.5 stars...the rec room dungeon vibe wasn't quite our scene SERVICE - 3.5 stars...bartender was cordial, even to the female megaphone TOTAL - 3 stars...not our favorite bar in town RELATED - Exploring Provincetown?

We left genuinely impressed with the overall experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

I'm not certain that I want anybody to know how much fun this place can be, lest it fill up with…read moretourists. It's where the locals hang out, and an occasional befuddled tourist happens in. It's dark, very small, low ceilinged, filled with "characters" and show people, and very high energy. Not for everybody though, but cheap draft beers, and you can "Scream Along With Billy" on certain nights, when the REAL Billy comes alive. And when it gets too hot, you can spill out onto the sidewalk courtyard and watch people walk by. But please don't tell anybody? One gaggle of "Bachelorettes" could spoil the whole thing!

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.

The vibes are off the charts, the food is impeccable, the drinks are strong. I dream of their frose all year. I enjoy the semi self service. Order the food at the counter, get your drinks at the bar, they bring the food to you, and you clear your own table. This makes it easy to hang out for a long time or just a quick bite. Food always comes out fast and fresh! We went twice this year and tried something different from the menu each time. Their play on a poke bowl blew my mind. It's definitely big enough to share and loaded with fish and delicious veggie salads. If you're craving something fresh and nutritious AND delicious then definitely get this!! Can't wait till next year...

There's plenty of seating, both shaded and in the sun, which made for a really nice atmosphere. The food was average overall and seemed more pre-made than homemade or gourmet. The classic margarita was on the smaller side and a bit too sour for my taste. The classic mojito, on the other hand, was refreshing with plenty of mint and quite good, though not exceptional. What really stands out here is the atmosphere it's the main reason to visit. The staff was also very accommodating and friendly, which added to the experience.

Monkey Bar is a whole vibe!…read more Had such a fun night here during our trip to Provincetown. Our server David was amazing--super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. You can tell he really cares about creating a great experience for guests. We ordered a little bit of everything: two creative martinis (the Cinnamon Toast Crunch-tini and Jack & Thyme-tini were both hits), plus a mix of apps and sushi. The potstickers, crab rangoon, sesame BBQ boneless ribs, pulled pork bao, and Asian cucumber salad were all packed with flavor. And the Whitney Houston Roll? Chef's kiss. Everything came out fresh and beautifully presented. Loved the atmosphere too--chill but stylish, with great energy. If you're in P-Town and want a fun spot with great food, drinks, and standout service, definitely check out Monkey Bar. Bonus points if David is working!

This is a place to have good whisky and steak at first glance, but the menu opens up to banh mi and inventive burger options. I love cozy interiors and I caught them about 40 minutes before closing. I decided take out because I didn't want to keep them and sat at the bar where the staff was friendly and warm even as they were wrapping up. The food was stand out in terms of taste and portions. You're getting a good sized meal with leftovers for Ptown Holiday or in my case, holigay . LOL. We had Southern BLT and Old fashioned burger, we were primed for nueske bacon but the menu can be durable for more vegetal and gluten free options that are just as scrumptious. Burger was sizable and cooked perfect to medium request. Bacon was rich but crisp and the Grafton cheddar had a melty sharpness you needed. Fries were hefty with crisp and fluff interior. Awesome onion strings so crispy! Fried green tomato held up well in the sandwich and the BLT was delicious overall. Loved this dinner and was a highlight of my vacation. Definitely recommend going for starting in or take out!

IMHO the best burger around (cooked as ordered) and their homemade french fries more than satisfy this admitted french fry addict. Other good choices: guac and chips, fried artichokes, the wedge salad, and the pork tostada. Recently tried their Painkiller and will surely order it again.
