They say smells are something you never forget. A certain smell can take you back in time. For me, the fragrance of night-blooming jasmine (cestrum nocturnum) in the streets of Jerusalem on summer nights is one of those unforgettable scents.
Night-blooming jasmine is planted in the gardens in many Jerusalem neighborhoods, especially Rehavia. It is a sprawling, very fast growing climber that needs trimming to look nice, but as evening falls, the small whitish-yellow flowers open up and give off a wonderful perfume.
Stroll through the streets of Jerusalem at night and breathe in the sweet, intoxicating smell. But the truth is, the Bible got there first. The author of the Song of Songs waxed lyrical over this heady scent thousands of years ago:
Awake O North Wind,
Come O South Wind!
Blow upon my garden
That its perfume may spread.

Ben Yehuda St, and Nahalat Shiv'aa area is a very lively area at night, there are many pubs and restaurants in and around it and its one of the nicest areas to hang out in.
Another nice area to walk around is the German colony area.
As about Pubs and such you can find hang out in the "Russians court" area. Leave a Comment

This orchestra is not as famous as the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra (based in Tel-Aviv) but still, this orchestra has a great standard of performance guarantee for the classic music lovers. Leave a Comment Theme: ConcertAddress: 5 Chopin St. JerusalemPhone: 1700 70 4000Website: www.jso.co.il

Dear friends of the russian lifestyle. I have got bad news for you - at least if you travel to Jerusalem and planned to have some fun there: one of the best places in town got destroyed! A Israeli from Russia told me, that one of those oligarchs living in London, bought the area where there was once the Russian Compound with the best russian-life bars and nightclubs in town. He now wants to build skyscrapers there. It really seems, that even for some born with a real soul, there is all about money and nothing about life...! Sad.
---------------------in rememberence: here is my old text about the compound--------------------r />
The Putin Bar - Beers to honour the Russian President!
If you are Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian yourself or you just like the "russian" way of life, that is THE spot to go for a great night!
Russian Pop Songs, young immigrants dancing on the tables, Russian as first language when ordering a pivo or two...
Its loud, its busy, its rough - and everybody knows everybody. You will find friends there if you can go with that special flow. If not: better go somewhere else.
Bar Putin got my second home in Jerusalem - and not mainly for the pictures of President Putin at the walls of the bar. Bar Putin opens almost every day around 10, but go there on thursday or saturday around 11 when there are the first customers but it is still not too busy.
Post Scriptum: Even conservative Foxnews covered the bar!

The boys there wear usually Jeans and XXL Sweaters and the girls the opposite, e.g. miniskirts and tight tops. But you can dress however you like. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: The Russian CompoundDirections: The Russian Compound

Nightlife in the old city is very quiet. It is safe to walk around, but everything is closed and there are just a few street vendors.
If you look for bars, restaurants, discos, etc.. head to the modern city outside the walls, that is much less fascinating but with an active nightlife scene. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Great bar/restaurant in centre of town. Attracts essentially a late 20s/early 30s crowd (but not exclusively) with good music, great ambience, slightly faded round the edges. Large semi-circular bar dominates the downstairs, lots of faded velvet drapes and 50s style furniture. Upstairs has a little less atmosphere.
Anything goes - stays open late Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: Corner of Jaffa/ Shlomo Ha'melekh

Fantastic dance bar next to the Cinematheque on Hebron Rd. Enter into the covered courtyard and a circular bar sits proudly in the centre of the room. Rough hewn stone walls and ground, tables and chairs on the perimeter. 'L' Shaped room at far end is where the action takes place - long stem of the L is the bar and a few stools, DJ in the corner, tables and chairs scattered round the rest of the room, cushioned window seats looking down into the Hebron valley and onto the floodlit walls of the Old City. When this places gets going, it really gets going. Every bit of floor space is taken up by moving bodies - move those tables! Incredibly friendly enviroment, both staff and clientele that hang out here.

Probably one of the nicest located cinemas in the world overlooking the Hebron Valley and the walls of the Old City. Two auditoria, schedule of the old and new, late night screenings at weekends, home of the International Jerusalem Film Festival. The General Manager - Lia van Leer - is an institution in her own right in Israel, and was one of the first to (successfully) challenge the religious stranglehold in the city on not allowing anything to be open over the sabbath (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset)

Dublin is a growing chain of Irish pubs in Israel. They have two other locations in Rehovot and Herzliya but I found that this location is the biggest and has the best layout out of any of them. The best time to go is during happy hour as they have a limited time offer of buy one drink and receive your second for free. Generally, the Israeli people are not big drinkers so this was always a win situation for the pub.
The offer a wide variety of both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, specializing in their wide variety of beers on tap and in bottles. Food is also available and it should be noted that the food is not kosher, but no pig products are used at this location (unlike the Rehovot pub which serves dishes that contain ham). They are very fond of foreignors in this pub and the staff speaks excellent English. During the early hours, traditional Irish music is played but toward the busy evening hours the lights are dimmed and the music becomes more rock and roll.
Pants are a requirement. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: 4 Shamai Street, Jerusalem, ISRAELPhone: +972-2-622-3612Directions: Right off the Ben Yehuda Pedestrian mall. Behind the entrance to McDonald's.

This is more of a kind of a bar that offers some food as well. Place is rather full in the weekend and somehow I heard it is trendy this days. I guess I will need to check it out in my next visit. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: 02-6246938
