Belly up to the bar for some brews and super fresh Wellfleet oysters and steamers . Must order these at raw bar , so have one person get beers and save seats while the other gets the seafood .

Groovy tunes makes for a fun dance party on a Saturday night with outdoor beach bar .

The “Comba” as it’s known sits atop the sandy bluffs of the National Seashore and has the best view anywhere on the cape. There is a live band just about every night and plenty of beers to go around. Read more

Note - there is a parking fee of $20 cash but you get a voucher for $20 worth of food or souvenirs. Can't be used for alcohol . Food was incredibly fresh. They make their own custom magnette 4 oysters

Hit the raw bar up towards the back of the outside bar . A la cart style. Cherrystones $1, Peel and Eat shrimp $1, Oysters $2 (opened right in front of you)

Coming to this bar for years. Great location on the dunes of Cahoon Hollow. Parking is a nightmare. Great mudslides and daiquiris , beer is overpriced. Staff often thinks they're the shit

Kristin Carey

Eat the tuna sashimi and pretty much anything from the raw bar - Wellfleet Oysters ...yum! Great casual menu and awesome cocktails and bar staff . Goombay Smash is the signature drink !

We were turned away because place was shutting down for an hour.We were a party of 12 and it was pouring rain. There was no where even close and couldn't walk around. This was a total bummer!

Lori P

Raw Bar & Goombay Smashes are a must!

Lee West

A Classic. Not sure I’d eat here though

NikNak Bar

$15 cover for the night club . Food stops at mid-night. There were a lot of people smoking and the tables were not clean so seating was hard to find.

Andrew Kelemen

Get there by 10:30am to get a parking space @ the restaurant . You can use the $15 parking pass as a voucher .
