Nantucket’s nightlife scene is more similar to the Hamptons than it is to neighboring Cape Cod. But for visitors unconcerned with the price tag, there’s no better place to enjoy a night out on the town. Nantucket’s hottest bars all offer amazing food—visitors can pair a martini at Ventuno’s with antipasti or head to Nautilus’ chic bar to enjoy inventive cocktails and small plates.
