Nantucket Nightlife

During the summer months, take the kids to one of the Theater’s engaging productions for children like “Story Time with a Princess,” a past performance. Kids’ products are held mid-July through mid-August.

For the past 30-something years, this laid-back bar has been the go-to spot for finger-licking pub food and live music.

This bar serves – you guessed it – 41 different wines by the glass (“wine-tenders” help you pick the right one, making it perfect for connoisseurs and novices alike). Its charming, romantic décor, with accents like brick walls and oversized photographs, is worth toasting.

A popular local hang-out – to really fit in, refer to it as the “AC” – this cafe is usually abuzz with regulars. After a few visits, you’ll be greeted by name and treated like family.

It’s easy to lose yourself in their 150-variety-strong wine list, but don’t forget to spend some time perusing the dinner and brunch menus, both of which offer global, high-end cuisine like curried mussels and spicy fried rice.

This rocking, 21+ joint offers everyone with a youthful spirit a cheap cover charge and a chance to dance to great live music.

Even if you didn’t have romance on your mind when you arrived, you will when you leave thanks to the bar’s piano music, subdued lighting, and candlelight.
