Papi brings Puerto Rican hospitality to Portland's Old Port, founded by LyAnna Sanabria, who grew up in a Puerto Rican household in Vermont before settling in Maine. The bar leans into cocktail craft, with coquito as a signature pour, alongside a food menu drawing on the island's flavors.
Regulars point to the pernil and empanadas as standouts, served in a room known for its vibrant atmosphere and attentive staff. The combination has made Papi something of a local gem, the kind of spot people recommend to each other rather than stumble onto.
The Infatuation has reviewed Papi as part of its coverage of the Portland dining scene.
