About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
Gaslight is an open concept bar, restaurant, and live music venue serving some of the best food Nantucket has to offer. The cuisine, from Chef Liam Mackey (The Nautilus), has a Japanese Izakaya vibe where you'll find a variety of haute street food style pan-Asian cuisine include noodles, rice dishes, bao buns, raw fish, skewers, dumplings, and more. The bar program, curated by Clinton Terry (The Nautilus) features a variety of fresh ingredient forward cocktails with culinary inspired themes, and rotating craft beers on tap. The wine list leans towards fun, funky, natural w/ a twist of the classic plus the island's only Champagne Vending machine (thank you Moët). The atmosphere is lively, the staff is friendly, the location in the heart of downtown Nantucket can't be beat, and the live music starts every night in the summer around 1030pm, featuring both local and off-island acts with high name recognition. Gaslight is the place to be!

    It was our first time at the Gaslight. Asian infused dishes were anywhere from solid to excellent. I particularly enjoyed the lemongrass shrimp / pasta dish. The tequila / ginger drink was also excellent. With that said, it is essentially bar food in a bar environment. So, important to be clear on your expectations.

    Hard to find the place as I didn’t see a sign. Waitress was great. The chef was very accomodating in making the food vegetarian for me. My husband loved the seafood. Really good food!

    Asian dishes were disappointing. Noodles were not right and dumplings not fresh. Tomato starter was excellent. No beer on tap.

    The service good, we got there as there were opening for the day. The menu had a good variety of choices. The takeout orders were constant from locals. I highly recommend stopping in or order to go.

    We had a really good meal- sat outside in the patio with our older teen kids. Everyone loved their meal-smash burger was excellent! Great in town location. Been here a few other times -food and service is always consistent.
