Parliament

Jerusalem


This strange Jimmy Buffett–looking beach shack covered with a hodgepodge of historic photos sits on a side street just off the main market streets. Juice during the day, beer and cocktails at night. Live music some Thursday nights. It's filled with old-timer regulars and young locals, all taking in the relaxed vibe amid the chaotic nightlife scene.
