I wish I had a dollar for every time I was at the Wave Bar, I'd be rich! The Wave is one of the few places in town where there's never a cover, and always decent music playing, so I'm there alot. The space itself is great. Lots of video walls, a place to dance, and the very cool outdoor area. It's so nice on a hot summer night to get a drink, then go out on the patio and sit out there after a long day at the beach or whatever you're been up to in Ptown. But the main reason to go are for the music videos by Tom Yaz. This guy has it going on. From what I am told he has been doing playing videos for a long time, and it shows by his selection. He's just simply amazing. He knows exactly what people want to hear and plays it accordingly. Whether it's top 40, dance music, show tunes, and everything in between. Tom will play it. I'm always amazed at what he will play.. and WHERE he gets those videos from (and many of them are video remixes he's done himself.. awesome!) As someone who grew up on MTV, back when they actually played music videos, I LOVE this about the Wave. I always see videos that I have not seen in years. It's always a treat to see what will get played. I'm always amazed. Always. So what are you waiting for? It's time to go to the wave.. read more

Bear week was amazing VJ Tom Yaz does the best show tune Sunday anywhere. Lots of fun stuff, rare gems and just the most random ridiculous things that make an amazing night. read more

This ised to be a fun, one of a kind bar, but new owners have taken over. There used to be videos playing with the music - if you wanted to dance you could along with Beyonce or Madonna. The music was oroginal mixes by a resident dj. Now, they put logos in all of rhe screens and play generic music you can find anywhere. What a disappointment. This ised to be a "goto" but no longer. read more

We love coming here. Tom, the VJ, plays the best videos. We always have a great time.

Went to Ptown for a bachelorette but when looking for a place to go we kept getting recommended to this bar so we went but it was empty yet the bartenders paid us no attention. The DJ didn't take requests and they wouldn't change the music when we asked even though we were the only ones in there. Felt very unwelcome. read more

Bartender is adding yelp reviews. Awful customer experience wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Been coming here for years and last night after spending $100, including 20% tip, Michael made a very inappropriate remark about us not being able to afford our drinks. As a year rounder, this was incredibly disheartening. Hopefully others don't have the same experience. read more

Wow. $20 for a vodka cranberry & a screwdriver. Most expensive drinks ever... Music & DJ was good. read more

As another reviewer mentioned, the Wave Bar (along with the Paramount club next door) is infested with straight women and bachelorette parties. This gets very annoying after 5 minutes and ruins the fun for everyone there. Yes, they love gays, but don't understand that gays aren't going to p-town to socialize and dance with straight women all night in a gay bar. If you catch the Wave Bar on a night they aren't there, it can be a very fun time. The bartenders are nice and Tom Yaz never disappoints. read more

One of my favorite places in Provincetown.... It is a video bar to rival Club Cafe... there is an inside bar with a HUGE video screen, and then you can venture out to the patio on the beach, which features a pool that is lit at night... Good drinks, hot men,.... great view All worth it! read more

Amidst the craziness that comes along with P-Town, one can only wish there is a space to breathe and take it easy. Here comes in the Wave Bar. Not after 7pm though. Only before that. We happened to be there on a Saturday around 2pm or so. It was nice and quiet. Great Pool area overlooking the ocean. A few people occupied the tables around the pool and were generally quiet. Great video bar with a dance floor which was absolutely empty but the music was on with the accompanied videos on the screens. Just what I could ask for. If I wasn't too tired, I would have checked the DJ booth and requested songs. But it was too early and I was happy to go with the flow. We sat right next to the bar so that we could get our own drinks and didn't have to bother the only guy walking around the pool taking the drinks' orders. It didn't work out quite like that. It was so not busy around the pool at that time, that the solo pool boy did come by a few times to check on us. No biggie. All in all a pleasant experience given that we were totally looking for a place which wasn't over crowded or too loud - for a change - in P-Town. And we got just what we wanted. The drinks were good - the usual stuff, the standard PTown fare, nothing out of this world. Will definitely have to come back and see how the place is transformed during peak hours. read more

POOL!!!!!!!!! The server/bartender was friendly, but he was not attentive for our table at all. While I was there he didn't come over once, but rather spent his time for those on the lounge chairs or at the bar itself. Us ladies (maybe that was the issue) under the umbrella wanted some service too! The pool looked so inviting though, I wanted to strip down to my bra and undies and jump right in, but thought that would be inappropriate... maybe next time I'll drink more and then I'll think it's a grand idea. read more

The place to see and be seen. Good music, good drinks, videos and theme nights. Love the deck and the pool. No cover. We came here at least three times this week. Lots of nice...scenery. read more

There is no better place to have fun and dance in Ptown. The best music (videos)! The DJ/VJ was super nice and played our requests.

What a way to screw patrons. $37 for two drinks? Bartender says my partner has been asking for doubles all night. I had not asked for a double on this particular order nor did he know who the drink was going too. My partner had not ordered any drinks that evening. Drinks had been purchased by myself or others in our party. It is reasonable to assume that the bartender would ask if the drink is a double when ordering. When I called the bartender out he says he will give me a free drink. Drink else where, dont buy drinks here they take advantage of intoxicated guests. read more

Wow this bar has it all. Great music, great dancing, great VJ, his name is Tom YAZ. He's cool. We like him. Go here! It's so fun - great mix of all things fun. Go there!! read more

Nice bartenders, great outdoor area, and videos shown on the bottom of the pool - how cool! Me likee. Tuesday is musical night. Get ready for queens singing along to Hairspray! read more

VJ Tom Yaz is among the best in the business, especially the creativity he shows at Wednesday night Show Tunes! Really great!

Tom Yaz was absolutely amazing in DJ'ing the sing-along showtunes. Super accommodating for any requests! The whole bar was great, bartenders were super friendly. The whole experience was wonderful, thank you all for a great time! read more

One of the nicest gay bars in town. Opens to the pool. Usually have enough room to move around until later at night. Same prices as everywhere else ie....way too much for what you get. not a value for your dollar but if you want to hang out in ptown choices are few. No cover. read more

I love the Wave Bar. We make it a point to go there each time we're in P-Town. The bartenders are friendly, the music is generally awesome, and the crowd is fun and energetic. We were taught how to properly walk the catwalk one night, while RuPaul blared on the screens and from the speakers. It was, needless to say, awesome. read more

It's all about Tom Yaz, who makes this place and Ptown with his amazing vids. Best VJ between Portland and Richmond #madonna #janet #no scrubs read more

I love the wave and the paramount when they aren't overtaken by bachelorettes. Last time my wife and I were there. We were sitting outside at one of the tables and there was some of the bachelorette's man friends milling about. My wife and I kissed and then this straight guy walked up to the table and said very creepily "ohh my god, please do that again, it was so hot" I gave him an earful about how were were not there to give him stored fantasies for his spank sessions later on. read more

Thank you so much to Wave Bar. We recently hosted our PTown Soccer Classic over Columbus Day weekend and everyone that attended had a fantastic time. The bar staff was super friendly, the atmosphere was fantastic. In our 23rd year hosting this tournament, we were not disappointed and will be back once again! read more

Love the Karaoke on Wednesday night during bear week. It seems the Town talent comes out as there are not many shows mid-week. So its NOT just a bunch of drunk 18 year olds who could not possibly carry a tune (even if they WERE sober!) It's a nice time...a CROWDED with hot men nice time. Then you can venture outside at night overlooking the harbor where you can catch your breath and a breeze before going back to the men...an Oh, Karaoke... read more

TERRIBLE LITTLE PLACE! Liquor is so watered down, you could feed it to a baby with no adverse reaction!

Ok, I'm giving this place 5 stars. I stayed in Ptown for 5 nights and went to every place in town and this place has the best music. The DJ was awesome can't remember his name but good at reading the audience. Robyn, En Vogue, Janet, Dua Lipa, Lorde was all amazing. The drinks were the usual basic bitch bar drinks but didn't go there for a proper cocktail. Went for good dance music. read more

Gets pretty crowded and sometimes hard to move (same as everywhere else) the difference here is that the customers and staff are actually FRIENDLY. Great place to go with friends and have a fun time. The VJ (I think his name was Tom Yaz) was really entertaining... Mixed dance music and lots of sing-alongs. read more

it appears that this bar is part of another bar which is listed here separately: had a terrible time here. Came here with my buddy and we sat outside during the sunny afternoon. There was one waiter with a speedo taking drink orders. The bar tender was rude and unwelcoming. Ordered a couple of drinks and were expensive and on the weak side. LIquor is water down. Am sure of it. Hope this place survives against all the bigger bars. For being on the busiest strip, their service could be better. After all, tourists are the reason they exist. From the looks of it, I'm not the only reviewer who noticed how bad their service and drinks are. Me, I visit Provincetown at least once per year. Now I know why I never stopped by in this bar before. The pictures here show everyone dancing and having a good time. Not sure how many of these people really took the time to pay attention to the issues here. read more

I used to really like this place but the spark is gone. Our bartender did not know how to make our drink order - a drink that was on their drink menu! read more

All of the staff is extremely rude and couldn't make a cocktail if their life dependent on it. Avoid this place at all cost unless you want a bad experience. read more

Wattery drinks this summer (August). It took the waiter two times to get my drink order correct. The whole VJ thing is so tired............. I mean if you are in from Arkansas or Montana maybe but is anybody from NY, LA, San Fran or Miami going to be interested in the kind of crap videos they were showing? The whole concept of this place needs a radical shake-up. It is 90s referential and NOT in a good way. read more

Amazing experience! My boyfriend was so excited about having a show tune singalong night on our vacation and Tom Yaz delivered in spades! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great night on the town. read more

Been coming to this bar for years. What is consistent is the bartenders are always rude and the drinks are way over priced. I do, however, like some of their theme nights. Tom Yaz is always good. I miss Miss Richfield when she did karaoke nights. read more

Always a great time here..friendly bartenders, indoor or outdoor standing/seating and great dance floor. Especially Great when Tom Yaz is VJ'ing. He's the best...From Current to 80's-90's themes to Showtunes Tom has it all!! read more

We had a good time here with friends, video bar, dancing, and average drinks. It was nice to not have a cover. Definitely a very casual place. read more

Great fun!!!! New years eve was the best!!!!!!! Great videos and drinks,people are very friendly and chat you up.

The Wave used to be great fun. Then came THE BRIDESMAIDS!!!!! Until they get rid of the bridal parties, this will be a straight bar serving watered down drinks at outrageous prices. If the brides leave it'll be a gay bar serving watered down drinks at outrageous prices. The only saving grace is Tom Yaz, and even HE can't make all those idiotic bridesmaids go away. read more

This place is...I'm not quite sure what to call it. I came a few minutes ago for my best friends bachelorette party- we walked up and were immediately turned away. The bouncer had "seen enough" from the bride. Who was sober....just like I am now while writing this. So I guess they take one look at you and decide whether or not you're...worthy? I don't know, but I won't be giving this place a second chance. read more

The bartender Jessica was awesome, made you feel comfortable and her drinks were incredible, bit pricey compared to some of the other places but well worth it. read more

The absolutely rudest staff I have ever experienced. My friend ordered a drink and I told the bartender I wanted to try it before I order the same thing and he said "that's annoying" with an attitude and when we asked why he said "because then I have to make another one". Then when were drinking another staff came over and started being extremely rude to one of my friends. Absolutely worst service I've ever experienced. read more
