While there are lots of good restaurants around Cape Cod, there are also numerous noteworthy places to enjoy a refreshing cocktail after a day in the sun. Here is a list of our favorites.
This vibrant bar is a great place to enjoy an ocean-front dining and a cocktail.

Whether you want a frozen mudslide or just a fancy martini, this is the best spot for you! The Ocean House offers inside and outside dining with stunning views of Nantucket Sound.
The Beachcomber has been a must-visit summer destination for surfers, families, beach-goers, and music lovers for more than 50 years! The live music, cool cocktails, fantastic food, stunning scenery, and friendly atmosphere create an oasis in Wellfleet at Cahoon Hollow beach.
