One Friday night, Tel Aviv beach stylee!

One Friday night, Tel Aviv beach stylee!

It’s hot and sweltering in Tel Aviv these days but on Friday night it’s always scorching, whatever the season. Of course, there are plenty of places to check out in The City That Never Sleeps, from regular pubs (check out our Top 10 bars in Tel Aviv) to dance bars to full-on clubbing if you’re [...]

Jerusalem Beer Festival 2010

Jerusalem Beer Festival 2010

Tomorrow sees the start of the Jerusalem Beer Festival, 2010. Held over two days (the 18th and 19th), that should be just about enough time (or not, if you’ve got British DNA) to get yourselves a sampling of some of the many beers  - over a hundred brands - on show.
The Jerusalem Beer Festival is [...]

Another cute little Tel Aviv pub - HaNevaim

Another cute little Tel Aviv pub - HaNevaim

Tel Aviv is stuffed to the brim with pubs these days, and some mighty fine ones of course. Personally I still love finding those cute little neighborhood bars set up by a couple of friends who like nothing more than to drink beer and whiskey, listen to some cracking tunes and maybe catch a Champions [...]

Mike's Place, Tel Aviv

Mike’s Place, Tel Aviv

Mike’s Place in Tel Aviv is one of those bars that all the locals know of and everyone you ask will tell you to go and check out, especially if you’re a newbie to Tel Aviv. It has only been around in Tel Aviv since 2001, after originating in Jerusalem back in the 90s, but [...]

Shtrase, Tel Aviv - your user friendly neighborhood bar

Shtrase, Tel Aviv - your user friendly neighborhood bar

Last week I stopped by at Shtrase for a beer and some football with a couple of friends. Almost walked right by the place, even though it’s set right on Pinsker Street (close to the junction with Trumpeldor), with a huge outdoor TV screen pumping out pre-match spiel…

Our guide to Tel Aviv cafes and bars with Wireless Internet

Tel Aviv has got the coffee. Lots of it. But does it have the Internet to go with it, so that you can drink an espresso while checking your emails, or surf while waiting for friends? Of course it does! In fact, you just might be impressed at the extensive Internet availability throughout The [...]

Molly Bloom's, Tel Aviv - the best Irish bar in Israel?

Molly Bloom’s, Tel Aviv - the best Irish bar in Israel?

When visiting Tel Aviv you might just find yourself swayed by the thronging masses of late-night Tel Aviv revelers and drinkers into having a quick drinkie. And you could do a lot worse than head down to Molly Bloom’s for a pint or three…

Israeli beer. Are you man enough?

Israeli beer. Are you man enough?

A question I get asked often is “what’s the beer in Israel like?“. Well, to be completely honest, I’m not a huge fan of Israeli beer. Israel has two major beers that are widely available, Goldstar and Maccabee (I’m leaving aside all those tasty boutique beers and small brewery brews that have popped up [...]

Happy Hour comes to Tel Aviv

Happy Hour comes to Tel Aviv

Something a little harder to find in Israel, especially for the alcohol lovers among you, is the social drink after a day’s work/holidaying. You know, that innocent pop round to your “local” to have a quick pint and a bit of a banter before dinner, which is such an integral part of life [...]

Ilka

Ilka

Time for a beer in Tel Aviv. And that means somewhere new and untried. So, we went for Ilka, a small, homey pub in Dizengoff Street, right at the heart of Tel Aviv, but perhaps not right at the heart of the night action…

Murphy's Irish Bar, Herzliya Marina

Murphy’s Irish Bar, Herzliya Marina

There’s nothing like a couple of beers, sat opposite a collection of millions of dollars worth of boats, as the sun slowly sinks between the bobbing masts.

Alright Mate!

Alright Mate!

Mate (yes, that’s its name) - This pub in the heart of Tel Aviv (well OK, the northern end of Dizengoff Street) is a great little neighbourhood pub. I like it a lot, it’s not really trying to be something it’s not, it’s a drink some beer, shoot some pool, bump into new friends kind of place. [...]
