9 Best Cocktail Bars in Nantucket

“Awesome service. Great tasting lobster 🦞 roll and panini“

“As someone who takes pride in choosing thoughtful, high-quality accommodations when traveling, I can confidently say that Greydon House in Nantucket exceeded expectations. Located right in the heart of downtown, it was the perfect choice for a weekend stay. I specifically wanted to be close to the Steamship Authority ferry, great restaurants, and downtown shopping—and this location delivered on all fronts.

From the moment we checked in, we were warmly welcomed by friendly staff and a personable, attentive manager who set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. The location couldn’t be more convenient: a three-minute walk to one of the best lobster rolls you’ll ever have at Walter’s, a charming coffee and pastry shop directly across the street, and the Whaling Museum just steps away.

Given the unbeatable location, we weren’t expecting much from the room itself—but we were genuinely impressed. Our room was cozy and well-appointed, with high-end toiletries, beautiful shower tile, and an exceptionally comfortable bed. Harney & Sons tea and quality coffee were available all day, which was a much-appreciated touch.

One of the highlights of our stay was Via Mare, the on-site restaurant. Although we enjoyed every meal during our visit to Nantucket, this restaurant stood out. The oysters were among the best I’ve ever had, and the cocktails were both creative and delicious.

Despite the cool weather, we found ourselves drawn again and again to the charming side porch. Whether we were reading, chatting, watching the Memorial Day parade, or enjoying takeout meals, it became a favorite spot throughout our stay.

Greydon House offers a rare combination of location, charm, and service—and we’ll absolutely be returning.“

“We enjoyed my wife's birthday at Oran Mor. The service was excellent, as was the food. We shared the Kale salad and the ‘Recelet' cheese starter. I had the Veniaon which was so good. My wife had the seafood tagine, and my daughter had the black truffle pasta. The portion size was perfect. The venison was cooked to perfection. We shared the coffee doughnut dessert - incredible - definitely will go back. Noise level was a bit loud.“
