No doubt, Tel-Aviv is considered as one of the best culinary destination in the world.
After receiving thousand of questions on my Instagram account, I am happy to present to you my favorite cocktail bars, brunch, Restaurants and bars in Tel-Aviv.
CHEERS!
Imperial Bar
This award-winning bar is a MUST when you visit Tel-Aviv.
The people behind this place describe it as a temple to the lost art of the cocktail, and indeed- every cocktail is a piece of art, with a lot of thought and creativity behind it.
The kitchen is Asian-style, and the happy hour (Sunday-Thursday 18:00-20:00) Offers 1+1 on the drinks and swing jazz music.
This is a small bar, great for couples and small group, who really appreciate cocktails, and loves dark and inspiring places that leaves you desperate to visit again.
Making a reservation is a must, and I recommend to do it as soon as you can.
Happy Hour: 18:00-20:00

La Otra
Just a few steps away from the Imperial Bar, also hidden within the Imperial hotel, you can find this happy and colorful bar, Mexico City in the heart of Tel-Aviv.
I just recently came back from a great trip to Mexico, and here I could find Mexico’s flavors and atmosphere- finally!
The place is beautifully designed, the music is happy and so are the people, the food is delicious and the cocktails are great!
It’s recommended to make a reservation, to ensure a table.

Every cocktails tells a story, and originality is the name of the game here.
Ask the bartender to make a cocktail tailor-Made to your taste, and you won’t be disappointed.

223
One of my FAVORITE cocktail bars in Tel-Aviv, with the AMAZING cocktail “Call me Chili”, that I just can’t get enough of!
You can find here the eternal classic cocktails, along with surprising seasonal ones, that can always put a smile on my face.
This place is quite small, but if you are a big group- you can ask to reserve a table at the second floor. If you are 2-3 people, I recommend to ask for a sit at the bar, and enjoy the magic show of the bartenders.
The food is also delicious.

Fantastic
This crazy-awesome bar, made me question myself- Am I really in Tel-Aviv? Maybe I somehow landed in Tokyo? Am I dreaming?
This “Alice in Wonderland” theme bar is INSANE.
The beauty is in the small details, and every little detail here is a masterpiece.
The cocktails are exciting, the food is TOP quality and original, and once you leave- you immediately want to come back.
Don’t, and I repeat- DO NOT forget to visit the toilet (!) Thank me later.
