Part of the Gay Provincetown Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Provincetown, Massachusetts
Café and cabaret with drag brunch and nightly live shows.
The Post Office Cafe & Cabaret has anchored the center of Commercial Street since 1974, when Phyllis Schlosberg opened it and turned the upstairs room into a launchpad for performers like Varla Jean Merman. The ground floor is an all-day American café — breakfast through dinner, sandwiches, and two bars — and the upstairs cabaret runs a nightly summer slate of drag, comedy, and live singing. The room is a Provincetown institution rather than a scene bar: you come for a specific show, not to dance. Recent seasons have brought Paige Turner, Miss Richfield 1981, Nina West, and the live-sung DIVA! revue, plus a weekend drag brunch downstairs. It sits a short walk from the Commercial Street nightlife core, so it's an easy first or last stop on a night out — dinner and a show before the bars, or a late seat for one of the cabaret acts.
