Overview
Toast to Ptown’s past on a Commercial Street stroll blending craft cocktails and bohemian history. Perfect for drink lovers and history buffs, this tour celebrates our maritime, artistic, and LGBTQ+ legacy.

What To Expect
Sip a Blueberry Martini surrounded by views of Ptown Harbor. Stroll past the Lobster Pot to the Old Colony Tap, a gritty 1937 dive built with shipwreck wood where fishermen swap tales. Pause at Lopes Square, where an 1801 anchor marks the 1873 Old Colony Railroad path—the line that brought artists like Eugene O’Neill to town.
Mingle at Cannery Wharf Park for stunning waterfront views, then spot the UU Meeting House’s 1847 Greek Revival steeple, a beacon of inclusion since 1829.
Next, head inside the Ptown Library, a former 1860 church, to marvel at the Rose Dorothea, an incredible half-scale schooner right inside the reading room! Pass the Atlantic House, a 1798 tavern where Tennessee Williams wrote plays, Billie Holiday sang in 1955, and the LGBTQ+ community found refuge since the 1920s, making it one of America’s oldest gay bars.
Then, elevate the energy with a shaken Espresso Martini at an iconic waterfront landmark as nightlife begins to glow. Finally, conclude at the famous Boatslip Resort (est. 1965). Join the legendary, open-air Tea Dance, a disco-fueled LGBTQ+ tradition pulsing since the 1970s. It's the ultimate mix of history, drinks, and fabulous company!
