Old Colony Tap

This place is all atmosphere. You can imagine sea captains rolling in to drink away their woes, celebrate a great catch, etc. You can also imagine this place getting VERY messy in the busy season in all the right ways. Be forewarned that this is cash only and there is no food to speak of unless you want a bag of chips. You will get very stiff drinks for reasonable prices and the uneven floors, slanting tables, etc., could prove interesting depending on how much you take advantage of their reasonable prices. Have a plan in place for what you're going to eat to soak all that alcohol up. We were there on a quiet day in the off season and we loved it. Not sure I would be as into it in high season, but I hate high season anywhere.

CASH ONLY!! Fun little spot. This was my first time there. My bestie has been here several times over the years and there is a bench for you to carve your name and I took a picture of her with her name carved in it. We had a couple of beers, nothing special. It's a quirky little place with a lot of the locals/regulars. The floors are wonky and tilted. The tables are slanted, but it made for an interesting part of the visit.

It was amazing experience. You can’t find any open restaurant, bar or pub that much. And there is a karaoke bar and it was very funny.

That’s Capt. Buddy Johnson rolling out of the Old Colony Tap which is the best dive bar on Cape Cod. This is a rare time when he was wearing shoes. This bar is in the center of Provincetown. It has 2 big window seats where I loved to sit and watch the sights go by on Commercial Street. Never a dull moment and hands down the best seat in town. The artwork on the bathroom walls are something to behold and the uneven and warped wide-plank floors turn into a sobriety test as you attempt to walk to your table with drinks in your hands. People dancing in the aisle with no worries of judgment because we were all just having a good time. I have some wonderful memories in that dive bar.

The Old Colony Tap is one of the oldest bars in New England. With an outstanding selection of whiskey, scotch, bourbon, and rum, you are sure to find what you're looking for. I've been coming here since the early 1990s and would easily recommend this bar to anyone wanting to step back in time and getting a perspective on what it must have been like bak in the day. Getting off of your fishing boat after a long day and putting a few whiskey shots back. Enjoy and safe travels!!!

My kinda dive bar right in the heart of Provincetown on Commercial St. It caught my eye while I was wandering around and I knew I had to come back and grab a beer at some point. When I did, it didn’t disappoint. It is cash only, and while there is an ATM available I’d recommend bringing cash to avoid any fees. Classic dive experience, made all the better since it’s in a tourist destination and I got to talk with several interesting people from around the world. Service was great, and prices were good considering the location. Best spot to grab a drink in Provincetown if you like a good dive.

Take the plunge into Provincetown's best dive bar! Great location on Commercial Street right in the middle of everything. Fun place to have a drink or 2 or more. Cash only with an ATM. You'll feel like you are on an old ship with the crooked floors and tables in this truly salty Cape Cod old school establishment.

Travis the bartender was a one man show running the bar alone and making us the specialty cocktails of our dreams. We even invented a shot together - make sure to ask him for the “Oopsie Doopsie”.
