A-House

Heard great things about this place from friends, extremely disappointed. Rude bouncer at door, went in, ordered a drink and was charged $12, friend I was with ordered the same exact drink and was charged $8. After first drink felt extremely tired and drunk and was not previously before coming in. Don’t trust this place especially as a straight woman. So many nice bars in Ptown with super nice people and service workers, this place is not worth it, especially with a cover.

Super fun dance club in Provincetown! We always hit this place up when we are in town. Awesome music, and inside dance club. Outside patio is super sweet amd a lot of fun!

Bartender at the smaller of the two bars inside the main room refused to serve us water and told us he would be happier if we left. When we ordered a cocktail to please him so he would give us water, he continued to raise his voice. otherwise, place seemed good and the bouncer was so nice. Won’t be back.

Went on 6/8. The experience itself was fun, bartender at the outside bar was great, but the inside bartender was rude. When I asked for a second tap water (didn’t want to buy the $4 bottle), he refused to give it to me because “we don’t sell cups here, honey”. I said I’d go back and get my first cup, but he had checked out. He looked away & ignored me.I apologize that the money for those cups comes from your paycheck.

The bartender by the bathroom inside was the rudest person we encountered in all of PTown, he accused me and my friend that would not pay our drinks and that we couldn’t touched them until we pay them (thing that he didn’t do with the white kids in front of us). The manager and the owner refused to take action and they said he has the right to be racist.This was literally the worst experience we have had in PTown in several years coming for vacations.

In general, the ambience at all three of these bars that are located within the same complex are great. The bartender at the Macho bar is especially friendly. Had a terrible experience last night with the bartender near the middle bathrooms (at the A house) who was completely rude and threatened to have me thrown out for asking what types of beer they serve. Im wondering if he was just agist since he was polite to the 20- somethings he served after me. I was completely flabbergasted and hope the management takes note of the several of the bad reviews regarding service.As a fellow business owner, I am absolutely baffled by the lack of response from the business owners of the A-house.It only points to the fact that they are complacent, complicit and care nothing about the level of service they provide their customers. Nor are they concerned about their employees’ unabashed and blatant bigotry. Come on guys, It is 2024 - even on the Cape!

The bartender was absolutely shockingly rude from the start in the place where most of people are relaxed and friendly that was especially disheartening. Would not come again to this bar.

I’m giving this place five stars because the DJ on both Saturday night and Sunday night turned it out. Some of the best house disco sets I’ve been to recently. Outside is a vibe, multiple bars, and diverse crowd. Only bummer is the place closes right when the dance party is getting good. Would recommend, place livens up at 11pm.

Weve had many fun nights here! Dance & drink to your hearts content, all summer long!!!

The place was open/accepting to queer women, but the vibe was deff more for men (understandable). Good music, and great pours 👀👀

The staple gay club in P-Town. It’s a fun and cool gay club. Good music and drinks are ok. The only issue really is that the cover is pretty steep ~$20 and the drinks are also mid- to high- range for standard cocktails. I would hope that the cover would at least get you a 1 drink voucher. I didn’t experience any rudeness from the staff like what many of the reviews were complaining about. There are plenty of bars, both indoors and outdoors, available. Again, it’s a fun time, I just wish they didn’t overprice at the door and at the bar.

Interesting place, nice music, but the bartender is a beggar. You pay $20 to get in, then $12 for a drink, and youre asked if you can give him another dollar. They have no shame! I dont understand how you can ask for a tip for pouring a drink that took 10 seconds...

Based o the previous reviews, I was a little nervous about going but my friends and I came here 2 nights in a row. In fairness, it is Pride weekend. With that being said, it was packed! The music was good. The drinks were good. Coming here was probably the only thing that made this trip worthwhile. The weather this weekend sucked because it in the low 50s and wet.

I wonder what is the cover for? The DJ was a disaster anyone can tell he has no experience. Also the bartender at the little bar on the left facing the patio is so rude. They really need to instruct him before they lose all the clients. We had a water a RedBull and a drink for my partner it was $22 but they only take cash and we had 20 and my partner told him that he will go for cash, but he just snapped the RedBull out of my hands just because of the $2 difference. Later talking to another people it turned out that he is rude with everyone 🙄. He should. It be working on the night entertainment industry if he hates this job so much. The little bar upstairs had great music and the bartender was super friendly, but the bad experience made me feel so miserable and bad that I won’t comeback to this place for sure.

Arrived at Provincetown bear week 11th July) after 10 hours of travelling, my friend and I came to this bar to find they only took cash, I ordered 2 drinks (one alcoholic and one ginger ale) that came to $13 and tipped $2 as that was all we had. My friend went to get us more cash from an ATM. Unfortunately the bartender refused to serve us after that, putting his hand in my face as he walked by us to serve other people, we waited for about 20 minutes then just left. Completely unprofessional and I won’t be back or recommend this place to anyone.

Bartender on the 1st floor with suspenders,ignored me after various attempts to get his attention.Then served two non Latino clients who approached him after, and then told me “to not come back” when I didn’t leave him a tip.Here as tip: Treat people with decency and don’t disparage people when you don’t get congratulated for poor service.

It was raining and my friends and I were the only people in the line. The bouncer yelled at us to stand in the rain to figure out how we would pay the cover, and then yelled that he wouldnt let us in if we didnt get out of line, even though no one else was behind us. Never seen such a mean hearted, unnecessarily aggressive bouncer. The few friends who entered said the music was mid

The AHOUSE is the most iconic, most popular, longest running LGBTQ nightclub in Provincetown (arguably in the whole US) The complex features 8 different bars, including the Little Bar, a fun neighborhoody “everyone knows your name” sort of spot, the Macho Bar for the rugged Leather & Levi’s crowd along with a spacious dance club featuring renowned DJs from the LGBTQ club scene; multiple bars and a large outdoor area. Although being an LGBTQ safe space the club is all welcoming to those who respect others and the vibe of the establishment. First opened in 1798, serving as a tavern, an inn, and briefly as a courthouse, and frequented by such notable names as Tennessee Williams, Eugene O’Neil, and Marlon Brando, the AHOUSE is a stop on any Provincetown vacation not to be missed. Take the negativity in some of those other reviews with a grain of salt; the staff here are wonderful people .. individuals who are too intoxicated or behaving poorly understandably may have a negative experience but remember there are two sides to every story !! I ❤️ the AHOUSE and I am sure you will too!

I’m not sure what people expect based on some of these reviews…it’s a seedy bar and dance club, not a cocktail bar or Cheers. For what it is, it’s a silly, fun time. Drinks are basic, and the all cash model is obnoxious but is what it is.

A fun place for some drinks and dancing, but a $ 20 cover is a bit too much. Maybe a cover and 1 drink for free is more suitable. I know a lot of music and songs but somewho the dj manages to not play anything I recognise

Went to the A-House last night and had a blast. To all the straight people complaining because they don’t feel welcome here, all I can say is welcome to knowing how that feels. The gay clubs were once one of the only places we felt safe enough to be ourselves, most of them have closed but the A-House is still that place and I hope it doesn’t change. I appreciate and applaud the fact that straight people now feel comfortable enough to go to gay clubs but dang, you can literally go anywhere and feel comfortable so don’t get mad if we don’t want to be a side show for another bachelorette party.

American prices, canadian alcohol servings. High cover, and music is a bit of a miss.

Well unfortunately tonight was a repeat of the unnecessarily rude and disrespectful service I received from this place. I had the experience once before and thought I’d give them another try. But the bartender in this dump managed to give me worse service than the first time. After standing near the bar minding my business, he refused to serve me, look at me, talk to me, or explain why he would not serve me or my friends. There are much better places to spend your money in this town and you need not waste your time here. They charge a cover. And, the service is among the worst of any place I’ve ever experienced in any town, let alone Provincetown. I will not be back. At any point in time.

If I could leave zero stars for this place I would. My friend and I received many recommendations from friendly locals to hit the A-House while visiting P-Town; “great place with a great vibe”. We were allowed in, paid for drinks and tried to order a second drink. We were told by the rudest bartender to leave. When we asked, why the bartender immediately summoned the bouncers and police. We asked the bouncers and manager (who lacks any kind of backbone) why we need to leave. We were told we just needed to leave. We asked the police the same question and they could not answer. If you’re a straight woman or straight man you will be bullied out the door, discriminated against and treated with utter disrespect. P-Town is beautiful with great restaurants, shops, beaches, bars and entertainment. I now know what the A stands for in A-House.

Not impressed. Crabby bartenders all three nights. Every time my hubby and I ordered two drinks it was over $20. What a rip off. Then if u go in the dance club they want $10, 15 or 20 for cover charge depending on the night just for the honor of over charging u for drinks.

It just really sucks to bring 1 queer female friend, and for her to be verbally diminished in front of everyone in line by the bouncer. In a community where allies are getting harder to find, and then can’t even be allowed in to a gay bar — is just shameful. As a community who is always put down, it’s sucks to feel like you’re in place where you actually feel safe, but then you are forced to question it.

A fun bar but the price to enter the club was steep - $ 20. Tried the dance club just one time and visited the 2 - level bar most of the time. The crowd was awesome. Didn’t have to pay another $ 20 to enjoy the same crowd and drinks. I wish they take credit cards. One of the most popular and well - visited bars in Ptown. It’s right in the very heart of Ptown close to restaurants and bars.

Love the A house. Such a great feel in the little bar. We visit Provincetown a few times a year...far from regulars, but the bartenders always remember our faces and make us feel like regulars. Guy and Mrs. Anderson are a couple of the best bartenders. A nice heavy pour allows you to get your money’s worth.Some of the “breeders” and pretentious folks seem to be turned off by the vibe. GOOD. Love the fact that they send bachelorette parties packing. Not the place for screeching self absorbed breeders. Love the A.

Can‘t recommend - bouncers & staff does not take action when visitors get harassed & intimidated from other guest(s) inside. Some visitors were are very territorial of this space and aren’t welcoming to any other parts of the rainbow community except white gay cis men.

Complete trash. We have travel to so many bars within USA and I will guarantee this is the worst service bartender we have ever met. The place is cute, the service is awful!🤮 We couldnt believe people still come here. Never again.

Jfc - have you seriously read these other reviews? This place is exactly what its meant to be - cheap drinks, good service, and bad decisions (I mean, not all of them were bad). We had fun - dance floor was fun and macho bar was... macho. Look - you might as well call it The Eagle of Ptown. If thats not your vibe... well, read the poor reviews. Only the strong survive.

It was early! But I like the decor and the red lights. My lower rating goes because there was no mulch or pea gravel in the garden.Please, some treatment to the garden would be nice. Mosquitos not allowed.

Great size but did get pretty packed. Cash only bar was odd/dated but several to choose from. One of the bar tenders had a nasty attitude which is why we left after only being there for a short time.

I been going there for over 20 years. Great memories and always fun times in the little bar, specially in the winter months, drinks by the fireplace.Summer time nights dancing at the A-house till 1am. Friendly staff.Macho bar up stairs. Awesome.

We were walking by this bar tonight, leaving a wonderful bachelorette party. We heard the bouncer keep saying, Nope. Youre not welcome. Keep walking. I told him how disrespectful that was and he told me that my kind was not welcome here. I find his behavior horrific. What Ive always loved about Provincetown is that it doesnt matter where youre from, what you look like, or who you love. This place does not embody what this incredible place is about. Im glad we kept walking.

Rude bartender. didnt want to provide iced water, and instead trying to sell a bottle water for 4.00. Gave me attitude and stated to get water from the bathroom sink. All i did was ask nicely for iced water.

Didnt know that there was such a hateful, sexist establishment in P-Town but we found it! Do not go here if you are a woman. While standing there, minding our own business, the demeaning bigots told us that we had to leave because women were not welcome at the bar. Pretty unsettling experience for a community that prides ourselves on being open and excepting.

Went there last night and kind of disappointed that now they’ve doubled the admission price to $20 (total price gauging)Not worth it. This place can get overcrowded in such a small space that I don’t feel safe. Especially after what occurred in Provincetown just a little over two months ago.

Best gay bar in P-Town as the DJs play the best dance music. Plus there is a huge outdoor area to talk to others you meet on the dance floor.

Everyone in town comes here to dance. In my opinion, the music is ok, but it is definitely the place to go to meet people and dance It’s good for after midnight, but there’s usually a cover.

The bouncer was completely disrespectful. If you are at a bachelorette party, DO NOT BOTHER. He told us that we were not allowed in unless we had prior reservations!

The bar is racial, they dont allow me go to 2nd Fl. The guy behind me went to the 2nd Fl, has no problem.

Bartender was scary, unfriendly, uninviting. If you arnt an overly masculine 50 year old gay male youre not welcomed from the feel of what could be such an awesome bar.

Fun atmosphere late night!

Popular dance club in Provincetown. Has a great outdoor area when you want a break from dancing. They sometimes will have a cover during popular times in Provincetown. Cash only.

U can dance if you like what the dj plays, but dont expect to request songs, even if the dance floor is dead, the dj assumes he knows best...

When I went in it was scary and didnt want to be there but boy Im glad we stayed. We had some sweet tunes on the jukebox going, good drinks and locals too!!

Loved the fact that they kept the noisy drunk Bachelorette party out of the bar.So much wooing and stinky perfume.Finally a place for men.

One of the best gay bars in town! Cover was $10 but by midnight it gets popping with lots of dancers.

I expected more A from A-House, you have to hit it on the right night so ask the locals which night that might be. Lovely decoupage and chowder in the bathroom though. 👌

Had a bad time. Rude bartenders. Overpiced. Not worth visiting. Spend your money elsewhere.

Lovely bar. Upstairs has explicit content. Lively crowd. Cash only

I love A house and will be there next week. The upstairs bar is a ton of fun.

The bouncer/manager hated my friend that has MS and was not accommodating!!!!!! Never coming back! Terrible person. I thought the northeast was accepting....

Cheap drinks; rude bartenders; overpriced cover; terrible DJ.

Haven’t been here, bad reviews are REALLY BAD! Yikes!!! Shut them down BBB

Poor service

It is what it is. Never quite the right vibe. But its one of the few games in town.

The place has deteriorated over the years. Time for a new game in town A-House.

This bar is a staple. Always fun!

Only take cash, no credit card. The service is terrible and they count on tourists. Pass!

Always a fun time, great music and d

Quite unfortunately, due to covid. The hours is now closing at 11.

So much fun over the years with friends here.

Hardcore gay porn with women staring at patrons. Strange!

Dissapointed website said open ..but it was closef

Guess this is a place you have to go if you want some grooooooves

Welcoming atmosphere, strong drinks, dive.

Rude bartenders, weak drinks.

Very rude.

Such a fun vibe

The best place in town!

They hate the straight!

Fun

Love this place!

If you want to meet new people, chatting is the right place. We went there to dance, but this is not the place for that.

Everything very good and rich
