The Crown & Anchor is Provincetown’s legendary LGBTQ+ entertainment hub. Built in 1836 as the Central Hotel, it’s evolved from a historic inn into a powerhouse complex with multiple bars, a boutique hotel, cabaret stages, and the Paramount nightclub. Known for world-class drag, live music, and queer cultural events like Bear Week and Women’s Week, it remains a cornerstone of P-town nightlife. Now owned by Jonathan Hawkins and Paolo Martini, the Crown blends historic charm with cutting-edge performances, keeping Provincetown’s queer spirit alive and thriving.
