Cal Pep
No menu in sight — the counter decides, and the frying is the point.

The legendary bar of the Born works the other way round from a restaurant: you sit at the counter, you are told what is good, and it arrives fried at its peak. It reads best alone or in a pair, and badly in a group.
The queue at opening is the ritual rather than the exception, which puts it at the limit of what a port call absorbs. Hours, closures and the table policy behind the bar publish once verified.
