Where Israeli bartenders drink

"There is no place I prefer more than Amiram in the Old North. The place, one of the oldest in the country, held the first beer barrel that was used in Israel and saw different periods in the life of the city and the country. It really oozes history and tradition. Hagit, the owner of the place, is a sincere, warm and loving woman who does her work in an inspiring way. I think that in Amiram I find my solace in the fact that it is so far away from the product that I produce in my places, so I can really relax and devote myself to such a place, and just sit and enjoy the story."

"Basically I enjoy almost everywhere, but it is mainly thanks to the great company – if the staff are pleasant, friendly, and service oriented, it adds to the experience of that evening. I'm a man of whiskey so I can manage almost anywhere, but I have to mention La Shuk, Bar Barbunia, and of course 223."

"When I get out to loosen up and have a drink, usually after a shift, I like to sit at Jasper – a small intimate bar that starts to fill up in the late hours of the night. The service is professional and charming, and the bartenders and waiters have become good friends of mine. The drinks are also great and unlike many 'cocktail' bars, they provide you with that feeling that you can order whatever you want."

"I really like Satchmo in Florentin because of the old school feel of the bar, the music, and the history. During the summer, I like to go to Shalvata because they managed to bring underground music to the beach and I appreciate that."

"I think Hotel Montefiore is a very good place in terms of bartenders, product, and food. I also really like the Tailor Made; their Smokey Margarita is on point. They sell a great product in a non-committal atmosphere, and pair it with good cocktails and great food."

"One of my favorite places in the city is a cocktail bar called Botanika. A beautiful place with good food, tasty drinks, a good atmosphere, and professional bartenders."

"I really like going to Eduard Bar, and Foster. These are local bars with a great atmosphere to sit with friends with a good beer and relax after a day's work or just for fun."

"My favorite bar for an evening with friends is probably Foster. They have a great happy hour, kind service, and the Guinness is cold and flows like water. For date night, the Social Club is always fun. The service is meticulous but not pretentious, the food is very tasty, the drinks are precise and the wine list is varied."

"I recommend Rothschild 12 - the beer is always fresh, the playlist wins every time, and the crowd is always beautiful. Also, Imperial is great as well as Bar Barbunia, where the design and music take me back to the first bar I worked at as a dishwasher at 15. I'd fantasize about sitting at the bar with cold beer and a plate of fries."

"I like to go to La Shuk's new bar, it's called La Bar and it's always fun."

"I like Silon. It has a homey and fun feeling with good service and pleasant bartenders who remember what I like to drink."
