Located in Provincetown’s East End, Strangers and Saints is a Medittereanan restaurant and cocktail bar located in what was once the home of a whaler in the 1850s. According to the restaurant, the vibe is a blend of “sea captain salt, swank, and swagger” so think dark walls, tons of vintage nautical decor, and big, heavy leather armchairs. The food, though, is unlike anything you would find aboard a fisherman’s boat: patatas braves, charred shisito peppers, and a lineup of pizzas with toppings like burrata and spring peas are some menu standups.

Restaurants where we could be happy with a great cocktail before or with an amazing dinner (some of which you’ll also see under restaurants below): happy hour at The Red Inn has become a little less informal during the pandemic (no more “show up, grab an Adirondack chair on the deck and order a few drinks”), but they still make a great cocktail and have delicious appetizers; Strangers and Saints which makes terrific cocktails in both their modern-rustic indoor and spacious outdoor terrace spaces along with shared plates and pizzas; the old-school bar at Jimmy’s Hideaway is intimate, cozy and welcoming; Pepe’s Wharf is a sprawling and beautifully decorated restaurant with a cute little bar and a smart living room/lounge/waiting area which would be a nice place for a pre-dinner cocktail (bonus points: in spite of a crowded room at dinner, the gimlet turned up exactly the way I like it). The Patio Grill, an ever-popular choice on Commercial Street that’s been revamped fairly recently with new owners and a fresh look, serves up delicious cocktails — some in mason jars (which my Southern husband always likes) — with lunch or dinner day and night. Also, Victor’s and Liz’s Cafe/Anybody’s Bar, both on Bradford rather than the busier Commercial Street make good cocktails, with Victor’s especially popular for its happy hour.

Strangers & Saints fills an antique cottage and garden with enticing Mediterranean meze, pizza, and libations.
