Huge names in international and local talent have performed here, so you’re guaranteed to be in for a great show.

Sleek, velvet-clad and moody, Papa Js has earned a rep as one of the Shire’s all-time favourite spots for a tipple, and bites that strike the perfect balance between casual and chic. And ICYMI, it plays host to a range of live music acts, too. Papa’s Fresh AF Fridays events from 4:00pm to 6:00pm feature a DJ set, while Papa Js Sundays entitle you to $15 daiquiris, $3 Oysters and some of the best live local talent from 4:00pm.
