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

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.
