2 Best Nightlife in Tel Aviv, Israel

Imperial Craft Cocktail Bar

Fodor's choice

Head to the hidden back entrance of a somewhat lackluster hotel lobby and discover this colonial-British-themed playground run by five of Tel Aviv's top mixologists. Nightly specials enhance the standard menu of 150 precisely concocted cocktails. Drop in for happy hour every night from 6 to 8 pm, when the "special price" cocktails are particularly appealing, or reserve for late night, when you may be sitting next to the city's top chefs.

Aria Lounge Bar

This Manhattan-style lounge bar offers a rare combination of classy food, cocktails, and dancing in the same space. Seats in the lounge circle the DJ booth, where top local and international DJs, and occasional live-music performers, hold forth. A full dinner menu is available from the upstairs fine-dining restaurant, along with craft cocktails like Say Hello 2 Heaven, a fresh, citrusy concoction of champagne, gin, black mint, lemon juice, and fresh basil.
