18 Best Bars in Nantucket

“Have been going here a long time but yesterday my sister had to go to ER due to blood sugar. The staff (and other patrons) were amazing. Stayed calm and called the hospital. Jeff, our waiter, confirmed we should go and packed evening up and even before that stuffed mummies himself with blue cheese. John, the manger, helped us and said the owners called to make sure all was ok. Btw the food and atmosphere is amazing. Going in 55 plus years there. Thank you“

“This is not Karen this is Kenny B and this there is no finer place to be, I've Been Everywhere Man cross the mountain bear man breathed the Mountain Air man and there is no finer unless you're deep in a? Well you know, in the morning? Top Notch nothing but the best all around and Sam loves it too, my place also has a bartenderess named Sam what could be better, and as a bartenderess I have never met feiner and I have been around for those who don't know me, I'm not only an old hippie that don't know what to do but I've spent some time on both sides of the bar and she is Bar None Stellar personal service and you don't find that much no more oh, that's all I have to say about that, you will have to make your own decisions Beyond this report“

“The food was amazing! We ordered the tuna tartare, dumplings, and several different types of sushi. The spicy tuna roll was definitely our favorite!

However, I do think the staff member who greeted us could have been more polite and welcoming. When we arrived, no one was at the front desk, so after waiting a few minutes, we walked in to look for someone. She was quite rude when she approached us and gave us attitude, telling us that we couldn’t do that. We completely understand if there are certain rules, but the situation could have been handled in a much friendlier and more professional way.

That being said, after that initial interaction, the service was very good, and we really enjoyed the food!“

“Our waitress was fantastic, the food was great, but the hostess couldn’t have been any worse, she was downright nasty and unaccommodating.“

“My husband and I hosted an anniversary party at Proprietors and could not have been more thrilled with the experience! Our guests raved about the food and the service alike. They were incredibly attentive to our guests with dietary restrictions in particular. On top of that, they allowed us to take our time and provided beautiful flowers, menus, and place cards — a lovely surprise! I highly recommend planning an event here!“

“Great Food, but proceed with caution regarding the bill

I recently stumbled upon B-ACK Yard BBQ after a quick Google search and decided to take a gamble on it for dinner. I’m glad we did, because the food was genuinely delicious. The burger was absolutely amazing, and the selfie platter was a standout—everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor.

However, the experience wasn’t without its frustrations. First, the menu is extremely confusing. It is not at all clear what comes with your meals versus what are extra add-on sides. The layout is disjointed and really needs a professional redesign to make it easier for customers to understand what they are ordering.

The real issue, however, came at the end of the meal. When we asked for the check, we noticed a major discrepancy: the paper copy of the bill showed one total, but when we looked at the digital tablet, it was charging us about $100 more than what was on the paper bill. It was a shocking discovery to make at the end of a nice night.

I would strongly advise anyone dining here to be extremely careful. Double-check your paper receipt against the tablet before you finalize your payment to ensure you aren’t being overcharged. I do plan on coming back because the food is just that good, but I will be keeping a very close eye on the bill from now on.“

“Monday nights are the best on island at the chicken box. That’s when the crazy roaster himself comes out @djlazyboy.“

“I Do think is the best restaurant in Nantucket soooo good !!! Everyone are nice and food and drinks are amazing“

“Yummy drinks and great atmosphere.“

“Lunch time and we were seated right away. S3rvice was great, and food was great! Husband had the reuben, and it was tasty and generous in size. My 2 yr old had the kids fish and chips and he gobbled that right up. I had a garden sald and the Guinness onion soup, it was tasty and fresh!“

“The service was great and the food was delicious.“

“Have stayed several times and always a great stay. Staff are always friendly and helpful and the rooms are amazing. The bikes are a plus! Great location.“

“Always have such a great time. Buck for a shuck is in full effect. Great raw oysters by the dozen. Always my first stop when I get to Nantucket“

“A great towny bar with good food“

“Such a friendly and great place for reasonable food. And it’s always good!! Try the turkey reuben or the chicken nachos. It’s a great sports bar kind of place.“

“Absolutely fantastic! The best meal and dining experience we have had on the island by far. The lobster fradiavolo is delicious as is the steak frittes and the pudding desert so unique and decadent- enough for 4 to share! Buffalo dip also a big hit! The lovely Paulina was incredibly pleasant and attentive the entire evening and even recommended some fun things to do while here! Highly recommend!!“

“Nice place for outdoor dining for lunch“

“We've been going to Faregrounds for years and have enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere. We returned recently and wondered whether the magic would continue under the new owners, and were delighted to learn that it has. We ordered widely different things--shrimp scampi, chicken sandwich, fish and chips, grilled chicken club, and chicken Milanese, with honey sciracha wings to start--and everything was delicious. Service was efficient and friendly. We'll definitely be back!“
