Neighborhood bar located on the West Bank offers strong drinks and an old-fashioned atmosphere.

In Short
Due to its longstanding presence in the local scene, Palmer's draws a homogenous clientele that ranges from rowdy patrons and serious drinkers to hipsters and punks. Dimly lit and smoky, the bar area is both secretive and welcoming. The long wooden bar dominates the space; behind it, bartenders offer up stiff drinks and Heineken on tap.
