I stopped in after working a wedding on Cape Cod and was disappointed by my experience. While I was watching a soccer match, the channel was changed to accommodate a regular customer. I also had to use the on-site ATM because the bar was cash-only, which added an extra fee. The atmosphere seemed geared toward locals, and as a visitor I did not feel particularly welcome. After having three drinks and causing no problems, I was told I needed to leave. I wasn't arguing with anyone, bothering other customers, or causing a disturbance, so the decision came as a surprise. I fully respect a bartender's right to refuse service, but the interaction felt abrupt and dismissive. I left without arguing, but the overall experience left a bad impression. There are many great places on Cape Cod. Based on my experience, I would choose somewhere else next time. read more

Best dive bar in town... great local people and pool tables. It's one of the oldest bars on the Cape for a reason. Bartenders are the best!!! Give it a shot no pun intended read more

Stop by here every time I'm town . Love dive bars. Ok it's cash only but it has a great small bar atmosphere and I will continue to go as long as it's open. read more

I know there's lots of people like their little homeless style die bars. But this place talking about started off as this bar until the lake early 2000 a different came in and things have changed. This place is on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and a lot of dive bars I guess in this area is more like a popular spot along with a few others, which I could because they all the same pay most common folks won't go to. We need a slightly little bit more class. My friends came in on vacation. They wanted some dive bars. I brought them here. We had some drinks and then we went out of money and since it's 2023 you would think they would have your phone by the app but it doesn't. So my friend had to go get some money out of the ATM because they don't accept credit cards and the fee was about five dollars Yes I know that's not a lot and that's not the point you bar especially a shitty dive bar. You should be willing to accept any type of payment. More of the story don't come to this shit hole. This place sucks and all this has. read more

Dive bar. Local joint. DIVE BAR. LOCAL JOINT. D I V E B A R. Two pool tables amiable staff laughably small bathrooms and an outside area designed for drinking smoking and socializing with a tv to boot. Never really sure how the nights gonna end up but if you're a bit on the laid back side with an itch for late night adventures and don't mind a few skags and scum every now and then, this might just be the gosh darn highlight of your night. Not for the faint of heart or easily offended patrons. read more

Quarterdeck Lounge - Bars Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

This place is a locals only joint..I walked in late on a Friday afternoon while staying next door at The Double Tree..Door opened into a pitched black bar packed with people who were animated about the family feud game on tv. Average age was about 65 all looking like they have lived a hard life. Didn't stay, because I felt a bit uncomfortable.. read more

we were working in the area for a couple months and were staying next door at the hotel. we went here many times because it was so close....we thought they would like our money and we like to spend in the communities we are working in they treated us like shit....from the bartenders to the patrons....if they don't know you, you're garbage to them!! what a shithole....we tried for a couple weeks but just couldn't take the stink eye every time we went in there.....they must've thought we were Narcs we weren't, obviously, because we saw a lot of "shady stuff"....and if we were Narcs, we could've filled a paddy wagon........Stay Away read more

Great 'dive' bar on Cape. It's a roadside bar w pool tables, dart board, jukebox, keno, scratch tickets, smokes, a touch screen game and a relaxed atmosphere. Only way you will stick out in this place if you're a complete douche bag. It can get the biker crowd in the nicer months, but it's also a great locals spot and if you're staying at a near-by hotel and want a cheap drink and to relax. They also do pool leagues and such there. They have a great little smoking area and beer patio out back. Bathrooms aren't the nicest, but it's all part of the bars charm. They have a great draft beer selection like Murphy's Irish Stout. Many bottle selections like ciders such J.K.'s Scrumpy Farmhouse Organic Hard Cider and micro brews. They have great house shots/shooters for $2 a pop. Most beers are $2/3, such as Not Your Father's Root Beer for $3, can't beat it. A favorite for sure. read more

See all

Absolute best dive bar on the Cape. If you come to play pool, bring your cue and be prepared for a challenge. This is where the leagues play and practice. Friendly patrons and staff. No food, but lots of area places will deliver to the bar. The walls are floor to ceiling memorabilia. Can't recommend it highly enough. They open wicked early, open 365 days a year. read more

TO QUOTE JAMES : "This is the biggest dive on Cape Cod. When I first walked into this place, I thought I was going to get stabbed. The beer is cheap, OK, but what you're not paying for in drinks you're paying for obnoxious, ugly people too drunk to know when to go home." EXCEPT I AM ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TO DRUNK TO GO HOME - FYI I am not ugly or obnoxious and people go there to people watch - play pool etc....It is a dive bar - ok read more

I really like the quarterdeck and will return next time I storm the cape. Food was reserved for pool league only, but the popcorn was just fine for me. Great place to avoid the polar vortex and I really appreciated the taxidermy and location near the Double Tree. Don't take your mother, or anyone you would like to meet her, but I like this windowless little museum. read more

Best. Bar. Ever. cheap drinks, good people, parking, smoking deck, pizza on mondays, pool. watch out for the cops when you leave though! read more

One of the best bars on the Cape! Do yourself a favor and check it out. Jim is an awesome bartender and the people we met great. You can also bring your dog in which always scores extra points with me. read more

This is a very affordable restaurant. However the menu was really unimpressive.. I couldn't find anything that stood out to me. The bar was also very small, I thought it was not ideal to go by yourself. The staff was great and welcoming though, not a bad thing to say about them. read more

My girlfriend and I came to Hyannis to explore the area and have a good time for Labor Day weekend. We found just that at Quarterdeck. From the quirky decorative items that cover the wall, to the outstanding staff, to locals who frequent the bar, we were immensely satisfied. read more

Great little bar full of good ambiance and cheerful local characters. Every wall and the ceiling covered with memorabilia and art curated by the owners. Great spot to play pool and listen to tunes -a plus! Genuine old Cape Cod -no frills and no B.S. read more

Decently priced drinks. Good mixed crowd. Would suggest lowering the juke box prices. OR putting on random selection when people aren't paying for music. Good times. read more

Good ol' QuatahDeck. Cheap, heavy-pours and cold beers. Friendly staff, local customers. It's definitely a dive, but it's a great place. Would gladly come here anytime I'm in the area! read more

Those who refer to this place as a "dive" bar have little idea what constitutes an actual dive bar (you're in little to no danger of getting stabbed in the neck here). However, it is not a "faux dive bar" either. It is, in fact, JUST a bar. A Real bar. Something exceedingly rare, and I gather, almost non existent on the Cape. If you're in the area- check it out. Cheap beer. generous pours. A+ decor. read more

Dogs behind the bar and $1 Celeste Pizzas on Monday nights help make this bar an awesome spot to drink in a dark corner or play pool. Don't get shot. read more

Dive bar full of locals (I used to be a local in this part of the world). Quarterdeck is great if you want a dark bar to hang out at and shoot some pool. There will be some ringers here, so be weary. read more

Awesome bar, nothing else to say. Felt like home. If we ever hit Cape Cod again we'll definitely be back.

This is one of the few dive bars(or any bars for that matter) that is open on virtually every major holiday. If you are home for the holidays and need to get away from the family you will most likely run into people you haven't seen in years at the QD. read more

MMy favorite dive on cape. Bring cash. Best cocktails to get the job done well.

I love a dive bar. Somewhere non pretentious. Non hipster. People are straight up with you. Great pool room, outdoor/smoking space, dark, REAL. THANK YOU! :) read more

If you like local dive bar this is awesome. So much memorabilia it great! People are real nice . Buster the bartender was great as were all the people! However if you want tourists shit may not be for you! read more

Love a good dive bar but this place is a dump! Seemed like mostly locals. Owner is quite rude Won't be back. Plenty of other places to go read more

If you're on Cape Cod, this is the place you want to go spend your night drinking, playing pinball, loading up the Jukebox and playing pool. Many locals (and Pixie fans alike) know this lounge/bar belongs to Frank Black's brother. Here you'll find beer, a loaded two-sided bar (meaning you can get drinks from both sides all-right), Keno and some pretty laid back kids. I dug that this place was both completely chill, unassuming and the fact that if it was in Boston this place would have been crawling with college kids--however it was relatively uncrowded but still great for people watching, there was tons to do and look at (the walls are covered with vintage pornography, advertisements and other things of intrigue) There is an area to smoke, the UFO is a (by Boston Standards) cheap $4. The clientel ranges from the occasional townie, jock or a punk rocker, or indie-esque kid which was really refreshing. The jukebox is one of those modern new day things where you can use credits to purchase songs. Lots of good stuff. The Clash, Ramones, Social Distortion, Journey, Weezer, Pixies (though you can't play Where is My Mind or Monkey Gone to Heaven apparently without getting automatically skipped over) and much more. The bar tender was fast, friendly and chill, the way you want a bartender to be. Be careful with an out-of-state license unless you're with a bar regular, though, I heard the bar tender questioning one of the patrons about that--seems like the type of bar where the young Cape set would want to sneak into. Also, I heard a rumor there is $1.50 PBR and you can't beat the laptop bolted to the bar--you wouldn't find something like that in the city. So, browse away, MySpacers and be sure to add the Quarterdeck to your friendslist, after all, it's their default homepage. read more

Great, Great Place!!! Excellent, inexpensive drinks provided by a very cute surfer look alike bartender! If this place was in N.Y.C. or L.A. you would not be able to get in the door. Very COOL atmosphere. read more

Just call to see if they served HAGGIS ,cause they advertised that they are a Scottish rock style place! So I ask if the had HAGGIS ,the person on the phone asked what it was? An was told he did think so very rudely & was told he had to go cause it was busy there. At 4:30pm. This place was such a JOKE!!!! read more

Absolutely one of my favorite bars in the world. Cheap fun, great atmosphere and the best cheap pizza ever on pizza night! Love, love, love this bar. read more

Fun atmosphere. PBR's at $1.50 a pint. 2 computers with internet -- free to use. Only criticism is that there's usually no music on when the jukebox isn't playing, and the jukebox is ridiculously expensive - $1 for a single play (or cheaper per play for multiple plays). If I could give it 4 1/2 stars I would. read more
