It also fits well after an Old Jaffa day trip, since the market stays active into the evening.
Beit Romano
Beit Romano brings together a bar, a kitchen and steady music inside an old building with a well known courtyard. Some guests arrive for dinner and stay for a drink while others come straight to the bar. The rooms feel warm and the courtyard becomes a central meeting point on most evenings.
