Gay Provincetown in a Minute!

Commercial Street is the main thoroughfare of Provincetown, with plenty of restaurants (offering some of the country’s best seafood), cafés and boutiques (both high-end and touristy souvenirs). There are also tons of gay bars scattered down both sides of the street.

  • The Boatslip, for example, is renowned for its daily T-Dance that runs from 4-7 p.m. every afternoon.
  • The Wave Video Bar is another popular spot to party. Part of the Crown and Anchor complex. Also in the complex are Paramount, a space that often hosts circuit DJs and big events, and The Vault, a cruising bar featuring porn on the TVs and plenty of dark corners.
  • Atlantic House, or A-House, is P-Town’s year-round dance club, playing host to circuit events and the weekly amateur drag competition Showgirls.
