2 Best Bars in Nantucket Town, Nantucket

Live music—including some big-name bands—plays six nights a week in season, and weekends year-round, at this unpretentious roadhouse. Ping pong, darts, and three pool tables add to the fun at this time-honored watering hole.

This is a year-round venue hosting live bands and DJs, including the occasional big-name act. The crowd—the barnlike space can accommodate nearly 400—can get pretty wild. There's also an eatery serving excellent pizza, plus burgers, and other pub snacks.
