Cape Cod Nightlife

This isn't Jersey Shore, but Cape Cod has plenty of bars and clubs where you can dance and drink the summer nights away. Arguably the best dance club on Cape Cod, the 'Comber, housed in an 1897 lifesaving station, is definitely the most scenic, and not just in terms of the youthful clientele. It's right on Cahoon Hollow Beach; so close, in fact, that late beach-goers on summer weekends can count on a free concert -- reggae, perhaps, or the homegrown Toots and the Maytalls. Other nights, you might run into blues, ska, or rock, and often some very big names playing mostly for the fun of it.

One place you must check out is The Woodshed Lounge, one of the Cape's best local bars. This hole-in-the-wall bar is a local favorite. It's a converted barn with cheap drinks, life music and a casual atmosphere. Live music is usually Thursday through Saturday, and dancing is encouraged.

One of the town's top clubs, the Post Office Café and Cabaret, despite its cramped space, can be depended on for amusing drag and comedy shows. In recent years, the B-Girlz (Hard Kora, Barbie-Q, and Belle Bottom) have been the featured act. So if you think Cape Cod nightlife is boring, you're doing it all wrong.
