Located in the dead center of town, on the busiest corner across from the harbor and the harbor parking lot, the Governor Bradford offers pool tables, backgammon, chess, and occasional live music. There is a basement room to visit, as well as a view of the street life from the ground floor windows.
An amalgamation between a restaurant and nightclub, Sundancers is one of the city's prime dining and dancing spots. During the day this waterfront venue is a laid-back, restaurant serving a vast variety of classic seafood dishes. Its menu features a delectable variety of scintillating local-inspired dishes such as the Cape Cod Rueben, Black Angus Hamburger and Baked Stuffed Shrimp. Come the evening, the excitement is amplified as this casual eatery is transformed into a lively nightclub. Popular DJs and live bands keep the crowd alive with a fine selection of contemporary and classic hits, while a variety of events create a break in the monotony.
Management at this casual eatery understands that most patrons prefer outdoor seating, so the decks are chock-full of tables overlooking the harbor. This establishment has two large bars and lounges and three dining areas. Watch the Nantucket ferries come and go as you try the lobster roll, the rich and creamy clam chowder or abundant sandwiches. Heartier fare complements the evening menu. Tugboat's is a great refuge, even on rainy days. A popular nightspot, head for the tiny upstairs bar where folks at the bar swill tropical drinks to music with a Caribbean beat.
