Jaffa's most famous Hummus spot. Come early, as they close daily at around 4pm. Try the "meshulash" or the "masabacha". Truly a MUST experience in Tel Aviv.

Drinks & Nightlife
Georgian restuarant/bar with delicious food you're unlikely to find in many other places. Turns into quite a happening and busy bar if you come late at night.

A combination between a chic cafe and a bar, this place also has lots of live music for free during the evening. Expensive drinks, though.

Everything Else
Small but nice indie club. Gets very busy on the weekends with a long queue, since entrance is always free. Make sure you have photo IDs to get in. Might not let you in if you're under the age of 25.

Another happening club, although open mostly on weekend. Entrance is usually easier, although there's normally a cover charge to get in.

Probably the best club in Tel Aviv, combining the best DJs, best space and the best atmosphere. Normally open only on weekends and you should check to see who's playing and if open.

Small night club operating from the back of an actual deli (entrance through the little deli itself, which also has some amazing sandwiches). A bit odd but the setup of the place is really cool.
