Hidden away in the infamous Crown & Anchor resort, The Vault is the centre of the Provincetown gay leather scene. Attracting a generally older crowd of bears, their admirers, and men in uniform, this dark and seclude club is a hot spot for cruising. The place may be small but there are plenty of dark corners to retreat into, mature videos on the screens, and stiff drinks at good prices to keep you going into the early hours.

Located in the upscale Brass Key Hotel, Shipwreck Lounge has a classic but modern, relaxed yet vibrant feel. It's the perfect spot to meet up with old friends over handcrafted cocktails, made from high quality fresh produce and exotic ingredients from around the world. Skilled mixologists shake up the perfect blend of ingredients and flavours to complete your Provincetown getaway, transporting you to another world as you enjoy your drinks around the fire in a super cosy setting.

Aqua Bar is located at the Aquarium Marketplace, boasting a beautiful waterfront deck as its proudest feature. The deck looks out at magnificent views of Provincetown Harbour (and the sunset if you visit in the evening), providing a scenic place for you to enjoy creative cocktails and delicious food. There are 7 restaurants on site, each offering something a little different for you to try. Aqua Bar is a must-visit destination for a stylish night out on the coast.

The Gifford House Inn is home to Purgatory, one of Provincetown's most popular LGBTQ+ dance clubs. In the basement below this charming vintage inn, you'll find a lively party that attracts a cruisey crowd of leather guys and plays great house music late into the night. If you need a break there's also the Porchside Bar hidden just inside the lobby of the inn, where you can enjoy a quieter drink in a lounge-like atmosphere.

Established in 1971, Spiritus is a family run pizzeria and coffee bar serving delicious thin crust pizza and homemade ice cream. Everyone is welcome to take in this quirky spot for lunch or late night drinks, as the kitchen continues serving pizza by the slice after all the bars have closed. You'll often find the community gathering around Spiritus in the early hours. The pizza and delicious shakes are made with care using quality ingredients, and the venue displays works from local artists, creating a true sense of community.
