Jaffa Bar is a distinctive two-story oyster bar set inside a historic 19th-century firehouse in Olde Kensington, Philadelphia. Its design draws inspiration from the sunlit architecture of Jaffa, a coastal Israeli port city, creating a unique Mediterranean ambiance. The menu blends classic oyster bar offerings with Israeli-inflected seafood dishes and inventive bar food, complemented by a cocktail program featuring Mediterranean-inspired drinks and a curated wine list from the Levant and Eastern Europe.
