Hyannis' nightlife has a little something for everyone.

If you like the comfort and predictability of chain restaurants and bars you'll find lots to choose from in and around the Cape Cod Mall.  The Mall has a TGIFriday's in it as well as a movie cinema with several screens.

If you move towards Main Street (towards the Nantucket Ferry), you'll find an abundance of very good restaurants and night time hangouts where you can see a live band, go dancing, shoot darts or hang out and listen to a guitar player on the water on the weekends. 

In the summer you can go to Cape Cod Melody tent to see a national music or comedy act and for those less inclined to bar style nightlife, there are even seen free orchestra style concerts on the common.  

A good time can also be had in your friend's backyard at a barbecue or clambake, or if you do not know any locals there, treat yourself to a fresh seafood dinner capped off by a cone from one of the Cape's many high-quality ice cream parlors.  Miniature golf is also a great way to cap off a sun filled day and great food-filled night.
