Nor'East Beer Garden

Beautiful ambiance with friendly staff and great food. The food was fresh with amazing flavor and the ambiance made it feel like I was eating in a beautiful garden. There are lots of little details throughout the restaurant that added to the charm and was reflective of the attention to detail in the food and drinks. I recommend the roasted mushroom dip and the shrimp.

I stopped in for a beer. Watching the bartender create a plethora of mixed drinks was mesmerizing. They were a work of art. He was engaging, attentive and a real ambassador for the restaurant and community. I was met with a cool glass of water, which was filled at least five times. The service was the best in town. You will love the refreshing tropical drinks. It’s a great vibe and welcoming experience.

Many vegan & veggie options and everything on the menu sounded amazing! My husband & I loved our meal and drink menu was great too. Loved the atmosphere. 👌🏼 A++ definitely will come back again.

One of the great restaurants on Commercial Street in Ptown. The bar tender at this place is very good vibing person. We went there twice for dinner and both times we had good experience. Their cocktails are different but good. Ambience can be hot if weather is hot but good to sit around the plants whole having your meal. They have few vegan and vegetarian dishes like White bean puree, Burrata. I love that both and their pasta were tasty as well. Overall, good veggie food, good cocktails, good service, good atmosphere, and great vibe. I suggest to try this restaurant.

It felt like having dinner in a tree house it was very cool and unique! It started pouring out and the it was like dining in a lush tropical forest. I had the pan seared scallops in a pea purée with risotto and asparagus and it was delish. Will definitely come here again. Nice staff too!

An absolute must visit when in P Town. Easily best food in P Town. Chef Joe Vitale puts his all into his work and it shows. The cocktails and beer selection are all you could want and more. The waitstaff is so friendly and accommodating. Do not miss out if you have an opportunity to go here.

I went here with my friends, even though we were underage. they had a sizable nonalcoholic menu and an even bigger selection of alcoholic drinks. The bar itself was super cool, with plants everywhere and clean wooden furnishings. They had a lot of snacks and some larger meals, all of which were really tasty. Super chill place and I would love to have something like this where I live.

This bar is beautiful! It’s like walking into a secret garden. My friend and I made it a point to return while on our trip to Provincetown. Delicious cocktails and bites. Super kind staff. Can’t wait to go back!

Best cocktails in Ptown. Great food. Really fun and unique ambiance and excellent food (menu is somewhat limited). But we would go every day if we could. Ben makes the best drinks!

Amazing cocktails! Awesome food! Old-fashioned's with beautiful hidden ice! Perfect

What a delightful surprise. We stopped in for a cocktail and were seduced into staying for appetizers. They were so good we ended up cancelling our reservation for another restaurant in town and stayed for dinner! Waitstaff were super friendly and the ambiance was relaxed and chic. Best Caesar salad we've ever had! Will definitely be back.

Great people, amazing food and beautiful atmosphere. I have never had something here I did not like, and they treat their guests wonderfully.

The dish to order here is the scallops. Delicious with the sauce and rice. My partner ordered the fish which was just ok. The restaurant can become slammed which causes long waits. Maybe additional bartenders would help but I am not sure. Loved the outside "garden" ambiance. This will be one of my go to places in PTown.

4.5 stars, really I'd bookmarked Nor'East Beer Garden knowing we'd have to check it out. Lucky for us, we snagged the last available covered table when a brief rainstorm hit. The outer patio (had it not been raining) would be awesome for people watching and relaxing in the fresh air. The covered patio toward the back holds a lot of charm, and was just the atmosphere we needed on this rainy afternoon. Trellises covered in vines provide a cozy, intimate feel to the joint. Food - the chicken parm is incredible. Devine. You will want to devour it, but don't. Savor it for a while. My husband kindly shared a corner of it with me. I ordered the Stracciatella - a dish with beats and an Italian mozzarella with cream (the Stracciatella portion of the dish). It comes served with 4 pieces of wonderfully toasted sourdough bread. I'd never had Stracciatella before but live beet salads so I took the risk. It, too, was a wonderful, unique dish. Let's just say, I ate well! Drinks- mostly fantastic but the reason for not a straight up 5-star. I chose more of a sipper - the Negroni. It was perfect. My daughter chose a fruitier cocktail with strawberry which she absolutely loved. It reminded her of these Minute Maid popsicles I used to buy in the summer. Only my husband was a bit disappointed. He's the resident beer guy. He's a casual home brewer and craft beer aficionado. We come from a town that is known for craft beer and have several bars in town which serve 50-100 types of craft beer at any time. So his expectations were that he's have an extensive selection from which to choose; probably unrealistic for an establishment of this size in a tiny tourist town. A couple of the options on the beer menu had been marked as "kicked" plus another he'd hoped to order which was unmarked. The server didn't offer which beers had replaced the kicked ones. That left roughly 9-10 beers on tap plus about 10-12 in cans/bottles. Don't worry, y'all, he found something to drink; he just hoped for a more extensive selection. All-in-all I'd say Nor' East is a terrific choice for dinner, linch, or a drink.

Cute spontaneous find for lunch. Only a few tables so I suggest getting there when the open. So adorable how it's decorated. You feel like you're in a garden with all the vines. I had the mussels gluten free, no bread. Very good.

Don't be fooled by the name. This place is so much more than a beer garden. I look forward to Nor'East reopening every year, because it's my absolute first-choice spot for a cocktail and the food is also stellar. And you're outdoors under a lovely canopy, so you really can't beat the ambiance. The menu changes every year somewhat, with a different soft focus felt primarily in the small plates. This year's theme seems to be Italian, and they pull it off nicely. The meatballs were giant and delicious. The chicken parm was absolutely massive. The gem caesar salad was a hit, as were the cold mussels. I don't think I've ever had a single disappointing thing to eat here. I really can't recommend this place highly enough. It's my unprofessional opinion that they make the best cocktails in Ptown. I'm particularly partial to their tiki and tiki-adjacent drinks. Even though the mai tai is off the cocktail menu this year, they still made me one. Their painkiller is also phenomenal. And if you overlooked making reservations, Nor'East is your friend because they don't do reservations. Simply give your name and phone number to the host, go grab a drink nearby (I recommend AquaBar across the street) and they'll text you when your table is ready.

We had a really nice time the two occasions we checked out this place. Once we came for drinks - they had some kind of strawberry cider that was refreshing, other offerings included Pilsners and a few wines and cocktails. The second trip featured an aperol spritz (but made from something aside from aperol), and dinner. The veggie bowl with barley, carrots, peppers and pumpkin seeds was sufficient for a meal and pretty tasty. My husband had burrata atop a fried wafer (a little more of a small plate). It can get chilly as it isn't fully enclosed, but it was a cozy find for us on our trip.

Chicken parm was amazing! The meatballs were outstanding as well. Portions could be bigger though

Yum!! What a tasty treat this place is. I've been here a couple times previously and I know I've enjoyed it in the past. Really glad we came back in this trip, everything was so good! Great service and ambiance. This is also a really fun little people watching spot (and we all know how great the *people watching* is in Ptown). Can't wait to come back here on my next trip. The Coconut Ceviche was so interesting. I don't think I've ever had anything quite like it. It was a neat dish to try, and I'd get it again. Highlights: - Chicken Cutlet Sandwich was perfect. I thought it was a particularly good sandwich, it totally hit the spot. Also enjoyed the lemon fries that came with it. - Beer Garden Lemonade. Flavor of choice: lavender. Alcohol added: vodka. A little on the pricey side but worth it!

What a treat. The food, the drinks, the ambiance, the bartender were all top notch. We stumbled in here not knowing what to expect and left delighted. Grab a table right when they open!

The best place for proper cocktails in Ptown...lovely hidden gem, tucked away in a lush hideaway. The menu isn't super huge but everything is delicious! We had the whipped ricotta, Caesar salad, meatballs & arancini...highly recommend them all! Awesome staff.

Great place ... awesome beer and cocktail selection + good food. I love the ambiance of the entire place.

What a great little hidden gem. A very awesome selection of drinks and small plates. The guys provide service and are super friendly. When you are there you feel you are out in nature! Went in October and they have the heat lamps on at the bar. Just perfect. Check out the changing seasonal drinks and beers!

Food was delicious, and a great beer and cocktail selection! Great options for tables outdoors and wonderful service.

Nor'East Beer Garden was the first restaurant we went to since the beginning of COVID. We were in Provincetown for a weeklong getaway and had happened to walk by the restaurant the night before and really liked their outdoor setup. I'm not sure what it looks like usually but they had about 6 outdoor tables, each separated by old glass paned windows. And there was great ivy all over it - it looked like a secret garden. When we walked in they made us sanitize our hands before going to the table. We decided to get some drinks and share a few plates. We got ceviche, veggie tacos, bok choy, and a tuna tartare. The food was pretty good, we loved the bok choy and the ceviche! We wish they had fish tacos. It was bit pricey but overall was a great first dinner out after many many months. We felt safe and left full.

Small with mostly outdoor seating. Lots of greenery and feels like a real beer garden. Service was great, the beers and drinks were excellent, and the food was creative and excellent. Would definitely return. The fried dough with burrata and peas was awesome.

Such a super gorgeous spot! The plants climbing the trellises surround you and you feel like you're in a secret garden while you enjoy your meal. The high tops by the bar seat 4 and are separated by very nice windows so you have nice privacy. We came as a last minute party of 8 and they set us up as two parties of 4. It was perfect! The food is great for sharing - everything we ordered was delicious, good quality food! The host was so kind and accommodating as well as all the wait staff. Would definitely come again.

This bar is beautiful! It's like walking into a secret garden. My friend and I made it a point to return while on our trip to Provincetown. Delicious cocktails and bites. Super kind staff. Can't wait to go back!

Absolutely delicious! Came here for the arugula mojito; unfortunately they were out of arugula so I opted for the Hunky Dory. 100% pleased with the cocktail & the service is impeccable. Watched a server squeegee water off someone's seat cuz we were mid rain storm. If you're strolling through the heart of Provincetown, please make this a stop.

Didn't have any food because the kitchen was closed. Service was OK. Ambience was very interesting and nice. Beer is really nice however, with many choices to be had for most pallets.

Fried food, and lots of it with ridiculously high prices. Had the arugula salad which just wasn't that tasty. The table had sandwiches fries etc. Seems like they could do a much better dish by skipping the frying and using great quality ingredients prepared really well. Skipping for now.

I never miss a chance to come to the Beer Garden when I'm in ptown! The food is amazing, the drinks are bomb, and the vibe is great :) I tell everyone I know to stop by

Used to love this place but visits this year weren't as great which was a bummer. The food menu this year was blah and overly basic. Couldn't really put a 'meal' together with the options. And more unfortunate, the staff was incredibly rude and seemed bothered to serve customers. Hopefully it's an 'miss' for this season and next year they'll get a better chef, better menu and nicer serving staff.

Really cool beer garden in the middle of commercial street! The beer selection is cool and the ambiance is charming. I also got the bluefin pate as an app and it was really good!

We arrived in Provincetown for a last-minute getaway, dressed up for a fancy dinner, and then wandered around unable to get seated anywhere because we hadn't made reservations. Lucky for us, a table for two had just opened at the Nor'East Beer Garden! I didn't expect this to be the place we would find delicious craft cocktails and creative vegetarian small plates, but it was a delightful meal. There weren't quite enough vegetarian offerings to choose from, but the burrata and the oyster mushrooms with cranberry beans were delicious. I also want to give a shout out to the hostess who was working on Sunday the 27th - she had to put up with a lot of rude treatment from folks who were annoyed about the wait for a table and she handled it very calmly.

We had the most wonderful and surprising experience tonight at Nor'East - such a unexpected surprise - thought for sure it was a burger / beer place. The absolute best Chicken Parmigiana and Rigatoni w amazing red sauce and Meatballs - PTown Chefs watch out ... Chef Joe - a real star and our bartender Declan was the sweetest and Maddie the hostess was just lovely - Great surprise and can't wait to go back

The food was very good, we had chicken parmigiana and a pasta dish, decorated very nicely, beers very cold, wait staff very nice except one that acted as a manager. The front of the restaurant was not easy to find and we walked up the ramp where we had seen the address 206-208 assuming that was the way into it. Mind you the business number is 206 so we followed it. When getting to the top we saw the sign to the bathroom and decided to use it before we got a table. When coming out of the bathroom, a wait staff with a stripped shirt, curly hair and glasses that acted as a very rude manager yelled what are you doing this is not a public bathroom. We said using the bathroom before we get a table to the restaurant He said it doesn't matter it's not a public restroom and you can't use it. It was exactly 3:59 pm. Now mind you we were apologetic and explained that we didn't realize that wasn't the entry as it wasn't a blocked off ramp and that we were about 30 seconds too early. He was very rude, we will make this our last trip to this establishment.

Cool spot to hang out, grab drinks and chill. Their beer selection is really good, they have a good variety of local north eastern beers. For food, I only got the bluefish pate as a shareable, which was really good. Whenever I'm back in the area, I will definitely come back here for food and drinks both.

This place was rude. Said we could only sit if ever single person ordered food and not just drinks. Honestly weird.

I've been going here for years and the food and drinks just keep getting better. Ben is awesome behind the bar and Joe is fantastic in the kitchen. I'm a regular here and am never disappointed! I also love the vibe and the different people I meet here every time. If you're in town it should be on your list of places to try!

Serious problems at this restaurant - unfortunate. Staffing? Management? dunno. We were excited to be seated at the bar and there was a crowd. My partner's brew came right away - but my margarita came about 5-7 minutes later - how sad is that? The waiter (AT THE BAR, MIND YOU - not the bartender) said the house margarita is "really good" - WELL it was THE WORST house margarita EVER gotta say. It had to be made with the powder stuff you buy at Stop and Shop. So, end of story - we decided to cut our losses with the $16.00 powdery margarita and left.

This is one of the most unique bars I've ever been, not much space but it is a gorgeous place to grab a beer or cocktail. It appears they have about 10 beers on tap, with a good variety of styles. While I didn't have a cocktail I watched the bar tender make a few and they were quite complex and made well! I would definitely recommend trying this place to drink.

Fabulous experience here earlier this week. We were lucky enough to show up during a moment when a table for two - practically on the street (which is what we wanted) - was available. Staff was awesome, friendly and accommodating! We started with two locally made beers (delicious!) and ordered the "toast" (with feta and walnuts)...along with the hummus. Both were perfect options for sharing. The food was excellent; these two particular dishes are heavy on the carbs (lots of bread...really, really good bread). The hummus was great and we loved the crunchy cracker/pita chips that accompanied it. Good food! Good beer! Good people!

Wonderful! The food and the ambiance here are great. In terms of ambiance, Nor'East is in an outdoor setting, with a tarp-like roof overhead. It's definitely unique from any other restaurant setting. It's sort of a beer garden feel, but a bit more intimate, which was nice. The service was also great. We sat at the bar and had a server who was incredibly attentive and friendly! The food hit the spot. I had the burger which was delectable -- lots of interesting tastes including a delicious harissa aioli! My husband had the halibut which was served beautifully! To drink, we had a good grapefruit beer along with a wonderful cocktail -- the Maple Leaf. Definitely a good spot to try in Provincetown -- with a different type of menu that isn't just shellfish!

Been coming here since they first opened. Great food and staff. Was here this past Thursday. The female host and our server were awesome, as well as the food. Went back tonight (Saturday) and was given major attitude by the male host. Told us there was an hour and a half wait...this was 830. I asked if there was seating at the bar....there was. He said, again, an hour and a half. Without a beat, he offered the bar seats to a guy he was flirting with!! SMH WON'T RETURN IF HE IS AT THE GATE.

Went for dinner on a Thursday night at 5 with 3 others, this place is very cool but tiny and tight, I almost walked right past it. I started with a mezcal cocktail which was tasty and well presented. I sampled a variety of the current pop-up menu which all looked and tasted great, the fries were quite possibly the best I've ever had, the food came out very fast so what I hoped would be a leisurely meal was more of an in and out as fast as possible kind of deal. I would go back in a heartbeat for the fries alone but would love to try the rest of the menu.

Spent Bear Week this week stopping here 3x already! So excited to see the updated food menu - the piri piri wings are AMAZING! Most importantly the staff - Ben, Lily and Stephen are some of the nicest folks you will meet! There's nothing better than being on vacation while enjoying great locals. We'll be back next time in town! PS - get your name on the list early. It's popular!!

Cool little spot right on the street and if you're lucky you get a front row seat to the awesome people watching on Commercial. Good selections of beers and they were frosty cold.

Amazing service and even better food. I recommend you try a little bit of everything and share it with your table. Some of my favorites were the pretzel with beer cheese, the burrata & the lemon fries. We also ordered the pan seared scallops that were honestly out of this world. Next time we go I'll have to try the rest of the menu. Also, they have a really great list of drinks, as well as wines and beers. I can't wait to go back and will definitely be recommending them to my other friends that come to visit Provincetown.

Great spot! Not very big so get there early especially if you have a group of people. Beers were very good! Pretzels were good with beer cheese as well.

We went here 5 years ago and had a wonderful time. Back in PTown and we were super excited to go back. Well they have the most F'd opening hours listed online that are grossly inaccurate. When we finally found the place to be open, we were met with the hostess that could not have been filled with more charism, uniqueness, nerve and talent. Those in the know, know. Those that don't, this is a terrible review.

The food is fantastic. The service is amazing. Really great drink menu. One of the lost creative chefs in Provincetown.

Adorable outdoor bar with delicious small plates. beer and cocktails and super friendly service. The food is inventive takes on small plates, and was interesting and delicious. I had the Fish kofta (really fish cakes) and the cheese board with manchego, grilled haloumi and a soft cheese along with a good serving of grilled toast. Ice tea was refilled without having to ask,and everyone was super friendly. The vibe is super chill among the hubbub of Commercial Street in mid-summer. A great place!!

Visited this lovely place for dinner a couple of weeks back. The food was really great. We started off with the appetizers and then the mains. APPETIZERS toast - this was really great, the walnuts (roasted and crushed) add a different flavor profile but blends in really well with the overall dish. Wings - this was okay-ish unless you really dig dry rub wings. Really great flavor here as well. Falafel - the falafel was a bit too deep fried but the green sauce on the plate along with the lemon zest was really a good combination MAINS Chicken musakhan wrap - really nice and great taste with awesome flavors. Fish kofta wrap - the fish was deep fried and then included in the wrap, not too oily really good. Overall really great place, the drinks were okay-ish we had the old fashioned, jungle bird and pe

What a lovely spot, I think that the walls that were added during and for the virus add to the quaint beauty of the location. We snacked on pretzels snd then some delicious wings all the while sipping a couple sweet drinks, one called a painkiller ( which was a lime, coconut cream type of drink) and a vodka and soda.

What a great find! The margaritas and cocktails by Ben were delicious! The pork tacos, Peruvian ceviche, and Nam Sod salad were all delicious and unique. Would definitely recommend. Covid - each table is outdoors and sectioned off, staff are masked. Felt clean and safe!

This place was fantastic. Sat at the outdoor bar for what was intended to be one drink to get out of the sun- that turned into 4 drinks and several apps among my group. The beer selection was nuts- had stuff I had never seen on tap before. The apps were fantastic, shared a bunch of items and no one had any complaints. Bartender was friendly and entertaining. Will definitely add this to my list next time I'm in the area.

This place is the business! What a find! Ultra cool vibes, great music, AMAZING drinks and food. We did not want to leave. Ben is the best at mixing drinks and the ultimate bartender. Thank you Ben for the killer drinks! I am still dreaming of them! Make sure this is on your list to visit - we cannot wait to come back again and spend all day here. Love it!!
