Entertainment in Nantucket

  1. A

    Rose & Crown

    This is the place in town to go for dancing; it’s a friendly bar/restaurant that clears the tables at 10pm and turns into a dancefloor. Music varies with the night, anything from jazz and blues to DJs and rock, so call ahead to see what’s happening. The crowd tends to be mostly 30-somethings.

  2. B

    Chicken Box

    This former fried-chicken shack at the south end of town has evolved into a roadhouse for live jazz and blues. Actually, depending on who’s on the island, these days it can cover the full spectrum, and you could hear anything from soul to trance.

    Cambridge Street Victuals

    Dim and boisterous C-Street is the hippest bar in town. It’s the place to try the crantucket mojo, made with Nantucket’s native red berry, or the other homegrown favorite, Whale’s Tale Pale Ale by Nantucket’s Cisco Brewers.

    Gazebo

    Great star gazing (both kinds) at this open-air crowd-pleaser right on the wharf. You can keep one eye on who’s getting off the ferry and the other on your fizzy drink.

    Starlight Theatre

    Nantucket’s 90-seat theater screens indie and other award-winning films. It’s also a venue for live entertainment on summer weekends.
