I'm a fan of the Wave Bar.
Sure, the drink prices are quite high, and the drinks are not exactly the most powerful, but it's a tourist town, so what can you expect? Â It's not like I'm going to be spending 1/3 of my paycheck here every weekend.
I admit I've fallen into my fair share of tourist traps over the years (places that like to rip-off visitors and don't care about treating guests well because they'll never see them again regardless), but this is one I love to come back to over and over. Â Why? Â Not because I'm a masochist. Â It's just because it's so darned fun and free-spirited! Â Where else can you sit outside by the pool while watching a drag queen host karaoke events? Â It will be the time of your life if you just let go a little!
I've been here every summer since 2008 and I'll keep coming back every time I visit Provincetown. Â
It's clean, there's plenty of seating, and the servers are generally friendly and polite, but disengaged (as is the standard of service in New England). Â
I did drag queen karaoke for the first time ever in August 2008, when I sang "Oops... I did it again" by Britney Spears, and "We Built this City" by Jefferson Starship. Â It made me realize how fun and free-spirited drag queens are! Â You won't experience a such an open-minded and fun-loving atmosphere anywhere else in America. Â Everyone is equally welcome regardless of sexual orientation, as long as you are tolerant and respectful. Â (Why anyone who was opposed to homosexuality would hang out in Provincetown baffles me anyway).
