Provincetown Pied Bar Gets A Remix; Actress and Innovator Lea DeLaria Brings “The Club” To Provincetown

Throughout the decades if you have done Provincetown, you have done Pied Bar. The spot that everyone would go to post Tea Dance has gone through many incarnations. From being the Ace of Spades and and The Pied Piper in the 1950's and the 1970's respectively to the Pied Bar that we all know and love today,  the spot has been ripe for a change. Enter provocateur, chanteuse and actress Lea DeLaria, who as of January 8th has been approved by the Provincetown Licensing Board. The board has approved the transfer of the common victualer and alcohol licenses to DeLaria’s company, (A Lea DeLaria Joint LLC). The bar's newest incarnation will be “The Club".

During the licensing board hearing, Frank Christopher, (who is tasked with managing "The Club") said people can expect to see live shows and performances as well as a variety of instruments. Christopher is also co-founder of Smoke, a well-known New York jazz club on Broadway near Columbia University.
