Jerusalem Nightlife

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.

Dress Code: Anything goes - stays open late

Old Jersusalem viewed at night is quite spectacular. The Western Wall is well lit and many people are still milling about and saying their prayers at the wall.

They have events at the Citadel, so check with you hotel for a listing.

Dress Code: As everywhere in Jerusalem, people are dressed very casually. But of course ladies have their heads and shoulders covered for entrance into the holy places.

There is realy nice pub called 'Sindrom' (ironiclly !!). it's a realy nice place with nice people and not rude ones. 2 more nice places which are coffe-pubs (you can eat good food there and drink), very nice people there are 'Link' & 'Shanti'.

Cuase i Live In Jerusalem. !!!!

Dress Code: Casual. Jeans and T.
Feel free to dress in style. it's making a good impression.

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)

Dress Code: anything

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.

Dress Code: This is Israel! Whatever goes...

In Jerusalem you can go to the theatre (I don't remember the name of the theatre I was).

The show I visited was a performance of the folklore dancing group Tzabarim. This group excist of boys and girls born in Jerusalem. The dances they show are Arabian and Israeli.

The Cinemateq offers a wide range of films not only in Hebrew or Arabic but often in English, French, ...
(Ask beforehand if they show a movie with sub-titles in original or dubbed)

Dress Code: None
