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?

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!

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.

Canteen has been one of our faves for years--great variety of food options, convenient, awesome…read moreoutdoor seating (in the sand!) in the warm months, frose (frozen rose), fast service. It's always on our list of recommended dine-in spots when friends/family visit Provincetown. We got TAKEOUT for the first time tonight and were impressed enough to write a review. We're in town for Holly Folly (Christmas/holiday weekend) and have a 9mo old. We knew we'd be doing takeout for dinner. One of our other favorite spots in town wouldn't do a takeout order (too busy). We were hesitant to get something from Canteen because they had been slammed all day with a crowd from their outdoor holiday market (also highly recommended), but took a chance. Two orders of fish and chips. Staff (probably exhausted from the busy day) were so kind and friendly. The order came out fast. Really good quality. Big portions (see photo) incl French fries, coleslaw, tartar sauce. We're glad our initial idea didn't work out and we had a great takeout dinner from Canteen! Thanks so much!

We checked yelp to find a place with oysters, they do not have them, tho the menu pics said they did. When I asked I got a "no we don't." The lobster roll was good, we had it warm, but it needed more salt or some hot sauce. Something. We also got cauliflower fritters, I would skip those, we ate half of one. The outside bar area is wonderful, great views. Inside of the shop is super cute. The food was just mid, and the hospitality chilly.

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.
