Tel Aviv

The New York Times had an article on Tel Aviv called The Capital of Mediterranean cool. The way it is! If you ask an Israeli where the country has the best nightlife, he will answer without hesitation: "in Tel Aviv!". Therefore, if nightfall is not a reason for you to go to bed, feel free to go to the "city that never sleeps." Of course, this is where the coolest parties in the country take place.

What awaits you here ?! Honestly, we don’t know, because the city is so unpredictable that planning something for the evening is completely useless. It is enough to go outside, to see a cheerful, motley company of people and follow it. She will definitely lead to a great place where you can drink a couple of cocktails, listen to music and dance. Acquaintances are made so easily and naturally that you may not notice how you are already going to the next place with another company. It can be a bar, a club, a party on the roof, on the beach or even at someone's house - there is absolutely nothing to fear, because here it is in the order of things. Tel Aviv residents love to relax, have fun and socialize. And if you want to get new experiences and an unusual experience, then just relax and trust the night Tel Aviv party flow.

To start, so to speak, to switch the mood from daytime to evening, go to the bar. For example, Suramare is one of Tel Aviv's popular authentic bars and is also located on the roof. From there, a stunning view of the city opens, which with each new cocktail ordered is becoming more beautiful.

Another great bar is Kuli Alma. This is a very popular and unusual place - a noisy open-air garden bar with great music and video art.

If your theme is "drink and dance", then pay attention to the Mendalimos bar - cheerful, but not very big, but this is a great chance to merge in a dance with someone very pretty.

Another bar to mention is Mike's Place. The American style, proximity to the sea, promotions on alcoholic beverages and evenings of live music (concerts of rock and blues artists) made him very popular.

When the mood is played out to the fullest, keep your way to the port or to the Florentin area - a symbol of Tel Aviv's nightlife with many bars, pubs, clubs, snack bars for every taste and color. He is very colorful and party, which becomes immediately apparent. Along the walls painted with graffiti, small companies stand with their glasses and discuss where to go next. It may well turn out that they will go to a nearby bar or club. Many people practice street trips here - moving from one place to another without changing the street. The noisiest parties are held here on the night of Thursday to Friday, although some establishments even work on Shabbat (religion prescribes to abstain from work on Saturdays).

If you get tired of the city and want to go to the sea, head to the Clara Beach Club, a popular beach club that operates only in summer. There is a huge bar along the sea, an open-air dance floor, hammocks and sun loungers right by the water, and half-naked girls dance right at the bar and play popular DJs in Israel. This club often hosts interesting theme parties, so there is a chance to see an unforgettable show in the style of Ibiza.

Another interesting club with unusual music and dancing is Lima Lima. On Thursdays and Fridays, there is a reggaeton, to the sounds of which it is pleasant to relax, on Mondays hip-hop, on other days - a mix of popular compositions from around the world, DJs and concert performances.

If you're a fan of live music, check out the Shablul Jazz Club poster. This club plays great jazz, blues, fusion, rock and roll, RnB and much more.

Before dawn, before the city lights go out, go to the 13-kilometer promenade - admire how the sun slowly begins to “tint” Tel Aviv's skyscrapers and meet a new day on a sandy beach with other romantic party-goers. Perhaps they know a great place for afterparty.

Jerusalem

Of course, you will be surprised, but Jerusalem also does not sleep at night, and the local bars have something to surprise you with. Why, this is the capital!

Perhaps, one of the best bars in Jerusalem in terms of the choice of truly male drinks is Glen Whiskey Bar. More than 20 types of draft beer and more than 150 types of whiskey - yes, it says something! In addition to drinks, the menu also has good snacks.

Another interesting place is Z'abutinski Bar. This is a nice and cozy bar, which, importantly, works on Shabbat. In Jerusalem, this is stricter than in Tel Aviv, so keep in mind - you will always be poured here!

And finally, a very unusual and mysterious bar - Gatsby Cocktail Room. Mysticism begins already at the entrance, when a small room with book shelves is discovered behind a black door without a sign. One of the cabinets is pushed back and behind it is the bar. Inside - the real American 1920s with their unique atmosphere of chic and brilliance, as well as a huge selection of cocktails. Most likely, something like this was at the parties at the Great Gatsby.

Jerusalem at night can offer something very special - "The Night Mystery" - an evening light and music performance in the Museum of the Tower of David, which has no analogues in the world. Giant, breathtaking images are projected directly onto the walls of the ancient fortress at the Jaffa Gate. Virtual paintings surround literally from all sides, creating a powerful presence effect. You look, and you can’t even believe that all this is happening here and now!

The "Night Mystery", which introduces more than 3,000-year-old history of Jerusalem through only music and light, takes place in the open. With the help of innovative technologies, one can be transported to the era of Roman conquest, during the time of the Crusaders, King David, the Prophet Muhammad and Suleiman the Magnificent. The program lasts only 45 minutes, but the impressions remain for a long time. Learn more and see the show schedule here.

If there is still little night magic, take a bike and take part in a night tour of Jerusalem. This is a great way to see the city at night in all its glory, learn a lot of new and interesting facts about it, and most importantly - spend time actively and with health benefits! A night bike tour has two difficulty levels: intermediate and advanced. The first round - 6 km in two hours, the second - 8-9 km in three hours. The path lies through the deserted Old City, the legendary quarters, the promenade and the main attractions. In the night silence, Jerusalem seems even more fantastic, believe me.

From 8 to 22 people participate in the excursion, so a real bike run can turn out! You can ride your bike or rent it and a helmet. The tour starts at 21:00 - 00:00, see the schedule. Bear in mind that Jerusalem is a hilly city, so such a night excursion is not entirely suitable for beginners and those who have not ridden a bike for many years.

Netanya

At night in Netanya, the interactive city center - the first in Israel - becomes the main attraction. Independence Square is a leap into the future with all kinds of interactive applications, virtual tours, video art, audiovisual and multi-system entertainment, LED and touch screens, and even live broadcasting of events from parties that take place in several parts of the city. In a word, girls, if you do not want to lose your men for several hours, who will consider and touch all this for a long time, hold their hands all the time!

In the center of the square is a singing fountain, onto which various images are projected and a whole performance is obtained. Here is such an unusual city center, visit there at night!

Another interesting evening entertainment in Netanya is the amphitheater located on the Shaked promenade. On summer evenings, concerts, performances and other interesting events are held there. Only 1200 places, but the stage and the sea are perfectly visible from anyone.

Ashdod

Perhaps the strangest thing you can see at night in Israel is The Eye of the Sun ("Eye of the Sun") - an architectural and artistic composition, a huge ellipse in the form of an eye (in the widest part of 18 meters), which thanks to the original illumination time changes colors. It looks unusual and very effective in a good way, especially against the background of the night sky. Do not miss this miracle, it's worth it!

Other cities

Many other interesting events are also taking place in other cities, but it seems to us that this information is still enough to pack a suitcase and rush to Israel, to see for all this with your own eyes (and Israel will look at you with its own ...).
