Entertainment in Provincetown can be as simple as sitting on a bench in front of Town Hall and watching the entire world go by or as exhilarating as a drag show which makes you forget that it’s really not Judy Garland or Marilyn Monroe on stage. Big names and no names share the stage. It’s all about fun and that’s what we all need, especially when we’re on vacation!
Our Inn steps you back in time while providing all the comforts you expect, and then some. It is known to be Provincetown’s oldest hotel still in operation built at the last stop of the national stage coach, and for having hosted four Presidents. Boasting with authentic Provincetown magic right in the center of town, you never know who you will meet but everyone here belongs. Open year round.
Rare for Provincetown, our complex comes complete with a multifunctional hall serviced by a commercial kitchen, bar and stage. If you can dream it, we can host it. Intimately, the space lends itself to any number of events from a drag show to a wedding celebration, pop-up cabaret, educational seminars, or wellness retreat.
Porch Bar: The perfect spot to reunite with old friends or spark a conversation with a fascinating stranger, the Porch Bar has been a Provincetown institution since 1858. Craft cocktails, a gaming room including a pool table, and a wide open veranda set the stage for unforgettable connections. Open 5pm until 1am every night all year.
Love Lounge: Sometimes we all need a stage. Our lounge is equipped with a baby grand, and a microphone. In this magical space with a bar, you never know who will get up and sing, or recite, play or pose. Many call the space magic but ultimately we know it’s you. Whether you are singing or singing along, you’re part of the Provincetown stage here. Open most nights during season.
Club Purgatory: Raising Hell can be Heaven on our on site subterranean queer space that features nightly DJ sets by underground electronic DJs and special international guests. Let your hair down, let your guard down, and let the night do the rest. Open until 1am every night in season.

Suede tours everywhere but calls the Cape home and enjoys playing a few shows a year here. She sells out NYC’s Birdland, San Francisco’s RRazz Room, DC’s Birchmere, St. Louis’ Sheldon Hall, and similar venues worldwide. She performs many benefits all year, raising funds for numerous great causes. Critics say Suede is like “Adele meets Diana Krall meets Bette Midler – sassy, smooth & intoxicating.” She is a multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, trumpet), but voice is her first instrument and entertaining, clearly her greatest passion. She plays with varied combos – from duo to 12 piece bigband. Suede has 4 CDs and DVD for sale. The DVD has aired on 55+ PBS stations during fund-drive efforts. All titles are available on her label, Easily Suede Music, and distributed on her website and all online retail sources. Find out more: www.suedewave.com, www.facebook.com/suedewave, twitter @suedewave. DEFINITELY catch a live show. You’ll be glad you did!
