Nightlife: Nightclubs & Bars
|
 |
|
Israelis (especially Jerusalemites) are not really a drinking people--an evening at a cafe over a meal, or wine and snacks is more the local style. The cafes on Ben-Yehuda Street offer outside tables where patrons come to see and be seen. Saturday nights are teenage mob scenes. You can also try the more intimate Rivlin Street, and the neighboring Salomon Street Mall, which form the heart of the cafe/pub scene in West Jerusalem. The Russian Compound neighborhood, up Helene Ha-Malka Street from Jaffa Road, centered on Monbaz Street, is home to a number of constantly changing pubs and bars that offer live music and dancing on various evenings; Friday and Saturday nights theyre throbbing.
Of the major hotels, the cavelike bar at the American Colony in East Jerusalem is by far the most atmospheric, visited by locals and international journalists as well as travelers in the know. You can also have drinks, good food and atmosphere at the hotels Courtyard Cafe/Bar, set in the hotels inner garden. In West Jerusalem, the King David Hotels bar offers the most style. All the large hotels have bars, but with the exception of The Khan Theater, the nightclub scene barely exists outside the hotel circuit.
