Looking for the best music on Nantucket? Look no further than the Chicken Box. Ther'es music six nights a week, a cheap cover charge, and friendly staff. Plus, seeing the occasional celebrity is nice -- I've seen Buffett and Michael Douglas, as well as others.
Bands that have played there include Orange Crush, MOE, and many others. And don't be surprised to see Buffett pick up the guitar and play a set or two if he is around.
The bar staff is very friendly and very prompt. The drinks are great and the cost is right on.
It is located right next to the Stop & Shop, and as always the best way to get there is by cab.
