A-House

Atlantic House, better known as A-HOUSE, is one of Provincetown’s best-known gay nightlife venues and the only year-round gay nightclub on Cape Cod.

The venue is split into three distinct spaces. Little Bar is the original tavern-style room and a classic cruise bar with a jukebox, fireplace and nautical decor. Upstairs, Macho Bar is the leather-and-denim bar, while The Dance Club, also known as the Big Room, is where A-HOUSE hosts DJs, themed nights and late-night dancing.

A-HOUSE also has a big place in Provincetown’s gay history. The building dates back to 1798, and the bar has been associated with gay visitors for generations, becoming openly gay-friendly by the 1950s. Today it remains one of the town’s best-known gay institutions and is open year-round.

If you want a more cruisy atmosphere, head for Little Bar or Macho Bar. For dancing, the Big Room is the main draw.

A-HOUSE is actually one of the oldest gay bars in America - if you count the years it was in the closet.
