Dude! You extended your trip too? Yo bro, it’s birthright 2.0. Let’s spend all night at the coolest bars in the city and all day sleeping off our hangovers at the Tel Aviv beaches then pregame the f*ck out of Cofix bar and hit the town hard...maybe even score some Israeli chicks. NEWSFLASH: the only girls you’ll find here are Masa graduates snapping five-minute-long stories to send to all of their ex-participants for jealousy’s sake. So throw on those Blundstones you bought at full price (and a half) at the Shuk, chug that bottle of Arak along with your last ounces of dignity, and for God’s sake, try to make it out the door this time because things are about to get L-I-T.
Tel Aviv nightlife establishments to meet your (North American) soulmate
What do you mean you haven’t heard of a bracelet bar before? The unlimited drinking establishments are all of the rage right now and a key player in the Tel Aviv nightlife scene. The concept is simple: buy a bracelet, put on that bracelet, drink, drink, drink some more until the White City bar closes down. In central Tel Aviv nightlife locations like Dizengoff, Rothschild and one just steps from the best beaches in Tel Aviv, the combination of bottomless booze, themed decorations and hats to match (like Tangier’s fez or Biggy Z’s sombrero) is unbeatable. Sometimes quantity trumps quality. Just don’t forget to avoid alcohol poisoning after all those tequila chasers and Israeli wine by grabbing a slice at one of the drunk munch restaurants in Tel Aviv on your walk home. It may not cure the hangover, but it’ll get you through to tomorrow for a boozy hangover brunch. Try the fantastic four of bracelet bars in the White City:
You’re drunk. And not the usual drunk that pairs a bottle of cheap wine and the intentions of going out, with a bottle of Gatorade and the intentions of passing out. No, not tonight. Tonight’s the night. The night you finally take that liquid confidence to the clubs and conquer your greatest fear. You’ve thought about it before – seeing as it’s a rite of Tel Aviv nightlife passage – but the cascade of square napkins posing as confetti never fails to slap your face back to reality. Your friends have done it, your coworkers have done it, heck even your boyfriend has done it, so now it’s your turn. Ditch the high heels, ignore the relentless Israeli fan club you’ve acquired and hop up on that bar stool. It’s time to take to the stage. It won’t be easy, it’ll probably be sleazy and it definitely won’t be pretty. Nothing a free Arak shot can’t fix. Here are the best places to dance on the bar when partying it up in White (napkin) City. You’ll feel invisible from up there, like you’re walking on water, but the water is actually a spilled mess of watered down chasers.

An alternative to the higher-end clubs on Rothschild Blvd, you can find patrons here dancing to 90s hip hop and a mix of American and Israeli top 40 hits. Billie Jean is not for the shy or weak of heart, it’s not uncommon to see guests getting down on top of the bar
ZooZoo is one of the hottest clubs in Tel Aviv and a largely popular place to head late-night. If you’re looking to drink with attractive Israelis, dance on the table and have a wild Tel Aviv night, ZooZoo is the place for you. The alcohol flows, the music is loud and everyone is having a good time. Located on Rothschild Boulevard among many other bars and restaurants, it’s worth stopping by on your night out. ZooZoo serves a small menu based off of classic street food with an upgraded touch, so the munchies won’t have to pull you away from all the fun.
