Fodor's Expert Review Spitfire Bar

This is a real sailor's bar: banknotes and bumper stickers from all over the world cover the walls, and among the other decorations are a yellowing advertisement for the marines—a fairly tame poster of a woman in a wet T-shirt. But the atmosphere couldn't be more congenial—it's almost sedate—and there isn't a hint of sleaze to be found. The Spitfire is just north of Shar'a Sa'd Zaghlul on Shar'a Ancienne Bourse and is open until midnight.
