    The Minzar is a small bar that has become one of Tel Aviv's most notable establishments
     (or infamous).  The official meeting place of alcohol lovers.

    The Minzar is one of the most reputable bars in Tel Aviv.  It used to be even more popular in past days of glory, when one of Tel Aviv's most memorable clubs "Allenby 54" was still open just across the street. 

    Today the crowd includes older teenagers and younger people in their very early twenties, besides the regular customers and late night drinkers.  It could be defined as the kind of place you imagine when hearing the Doors singing: "Show me the way to the next Whiskey bar…"

    This is Tel Aviv's official drinking pad and it has rightfully earned its status as such. You can enjoy a late night cap to finish the night off, or spend the evening there with a ham and cheese toast washed down with cold beer.  


     Open: all the time
    Address: Hilel Zaken the corner of Gedera (just off Allenby corner of Shenkin)
    Tel: (03) 517-3015

    • Missing the Minzar

      Oh, one more thing. Although I myself am in my early twenties, I would disagree about the cliental consisting of teenagers and such. I would say, depending on the time of day of course, that it runs more towards later twenties and above. There is the afternoon crowd and then the evening crowd, and then the late late evening/early morning crowd. Different feelings during different hours...

      I went to the Minzar almost daily when I was living in Tel Aviv for a few months earlier this year. If not daily, then every other day, and usually very late at night until the sun rose. It is a place for the lost, lonely, confused, and tormented, in a good way. You will meet a whole cast of characters here, from ex-pats to local Israeli musicians plus their dogs. Great atmosphere, especially around the bar (only area I ever sat in, except for one sunny afternoon when I sat in the glass enclosed area), and the food is great considering it is a bar. It has an old school underground bohemian feel, and most definitely for lovers of alcohol.

    • shawn  - you may also try the tsuzamen another local bar on

      very nice place

    • Guest  - Best place for your first day

      If you never have been to TA before, you should visit the Minzar on you first evening. After a beer and a bath in the Mediterranean Sea (which is only 5 minutes away) you will feel the spirit of the city.
