Nantucket usually has an attractive crowd of barhoppers making the scene around town. The best part is, everything is within walking distance, so you don't have to worry about driving back to your inn. You'll find good singles scenes at the Boarding House and the Club Car, which are reviewed above as restaurants, or Slip 14 on South Wharf (tel. 508/228-2033). Live music comes in many guises on Nantucket, and there are a number of good itinerant performers who play at different venues. Meanwhile, it may be Reggae Night at The Chicken Box, when the median age of this rocking venue rises by a decade or two. For a fun, not-too-fancy bar in town, try Rose and Crown.
Movies -- Nantucket has one first-run movie theater: Starlight Theatre & Cafe, 1 N. Union St. (tel. 508/228-4435). The Siasconset Casino, 10 New St., Siasconset (tel. 508/257-6661), shows films Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday in season for $5.
