Jerusalem Bars & Taverns

Jerusalem's nightlife may be more relaxed than Tel Aviv's, but the city's bars and taverns offer a rich mix of craft cocktail lounges, rooftop terraces, dive bars, and cozy pubs. Many are concentrated in the Mahane Yehuda market area — which transforms into a vibrant bar scene after the market stalls close — as well as the city center near Ben Yehuda and Jaffa Streets. You'll find both kosher and non-kosher options, with many bars serving locally brewed Israeli craft beers alongside creative cocktails.
