Reminiscent of a 19th-century London gin house, Papa Joe’s is one of the loveliest and liveliest bars in the city. Despite its propensity to hang anything old and funny on the walls, this is far from being a clinical tourist trap. Hard to differentiate between the staff and the clients, there’s always plenty of ridiculous accordion music to keep the beer flowing, or, if you’re lucky, you may walk into one of their live ballroom evenings or a bawdy recital of erotic poetry. Highly recommended.
