Straight Friendly Lodging/Nightlife

We are a 40-something straight couple. Been going to P-Town for years but always for day trips. Thinking it could be fun to actually be there at night for dinners and going out. Any recommendations for upscale lodging,fun restaurants/bars or lounges that would work for us. Thanks in advance.

Straight Friendly Lodging/Nightlife

Crowne Pointe comes to mind:

Ross Grill for dinner:

Though it%26#39;s known primarily as a gay hangout, you should check out The Little Bar at the A House if you want to have an afternoon drink. They have a jukebox with lots of variety, and a great rustic old atmosphere.

Beside Crowne Pointe, other upscale lodgings that come to mind are Lands End Inn www.landsendinn.com (over the top decor) and Brass Key. There are other places too. Check out the Provincetown Chamber of Commerce site.

For dinner, there are a lot of places. My favorites are Fanizzi%26#39;s (on the water), Ciro %26amp; Sal%26#39;s (ok food but great atmosphere), Mews (recommended), Devon* (sidewalk gourmet cafe), Ross%26#39; Grill, Jimmy%26#39;s Hideaway, Enzo*, Bubala%26#39;s*, and Edwige*. There are more good places too.

* only in season, after mid-May

Check out the John Randall House @ www.johnrandallhouse.com. An INN for all seasons and were strangers becomes friends! :)

Almost all the Inns and hotels are ';straight friendly';. Only a few fringe places cater strictly to gay clientele, and none of them are upscale.

For dining, in addition to Ross%26#39; Grill, there%26#39;s Napi%26#39;s, the Mews, Front Street, Edwige at Night, these have all been pleasant experiences for me.

As for bars %26amp; lounges, most of these have some sort of entertainment going on unless they%26#39;re attached to a specific restaurant. The Crown %26amp; Anchor often has live music on weeknights that covers a range from jazz standards to pop to showtunes to torch songs. It%26#39;s mellow, entertaining and not too out there. I%26#39;d also suggest taking in a play or a show that piques your interest. P-town nightlife isn%26#39;t just drag shows. There%26#39;s great theatre, improvisational acts, performance art, one man/one woman shows, and headlining comedians and musicians. Most of the venues hosting these performances also have full bars.

Have fun when you next visit.

The Crowne Pointe also owns the Brass Key. The Brass Key is opening up a new lounge/bar called the Shipwreck Lounge which should be a nice upscale addition to town.

I consider myself a ';foodie';, and having been to the Mews 3 times, I%26#39;d say they were the 3 best dinners I%26#39;ve ever had. I can%26#39;t recommend it enough.
