Places to makeout in Tel Aviv

Get in some steamy, sexy, and… sandy action on any one of Tel Aviv’s beaches. Whether it’s 11:00 a.m. or p.m., anything goes on the White City’s coastline, from Gordon to Frishman. After all, there’s a reason they call it “Sex on the Beach.”

Hidden inside the Imperial Hotel, the Imperial Craft Cocktail Bar is the top of the top when it comes to craft cocktails. This temple to the lost art of cocktail goes back to the source, featuring veteran bartenders from the younger years of the White City. With an Asian-colonial inspired kitchen and a wide range of music from jazz to rock n’ roll, it’s no coincidence Imperial was crowned Drinks International magazine’s ‘Best Bar in Africa and the Middle East.’

Whether you’re stumbling out of a Shalvata with someone you just met, or stopping for a cold drink on your couples bike ride, the Tel Aviv Port is a visually pleasing place to go in for a kiss. With daytime seaside views, and nighttime concert and club vibes, there’s never a bad time to get cozy on the shared portside seating.

In Park HaYarkon people are doing it on boats, at the back of concerts, and even while hovering in hot air balloons–and yes, I do mean making out. The White City’s own Central Park might not be the location for Sex and the City tapings, but it sure is the spot for many Tel Avivians’ romantic endeavors.

Return to the days of middle school, and snag a kiss at this hidden theater. Although making out anywhere else in Dizengoff Center would not be advised (except possibly the elephant slide), the peace and privacy of the Lev Tel Aviv make it an ideal place to cozy up. Plush seats plus popcorn always equals the perfect makeout spot.

Overlooking the city of Tel Aviv, this seaside park in Jaffa provides an ideal romantic setting. Walking distance from tasty eateries and hip bars, go to this park after a date, or meet up here for a picnic in the park. Marvel at the sight of the White City, the stars, an outdoor movie–or simply each other.

The guests sitting at the bar enjoy a unique experience that starts with dinner and drinks accompanied by live performances of the best local and international DJs, followed by a full-blown party into the midnight hours. Whether you are popping in for Hors D'oeuvres and cocktails or simply looking for some late-night drinks, this exclusive spot in central Tel Aviv is the hangout to head to for some elegant gallivanting.

No matter where you start your post-date stroll, all roads lead to Habima. Located in the heart of the city center, there’s something magical and serene about the dimly lit central fountain and surrounding plots of flowers. The addition of lounge chairs (and even a hammock at the end of Rothschild Boulevard!) make this plaza a makeout worthy locale almost hidden from the surrounding hustle and bustle of the city.

Every city needs a venue like Levontin 7. This venue slash pub offers local artists a chance to play live shows in an intimate setting. Every single night of the week, Levontin 7 hosts a variety of artists, so no matter what your schedule looks like, you always have a chance to get an evening of live music in your week. 

When the Tel Aviv municipality decided to built the Kiryat Sefer park in the heart of the city, instead of building another housing complex, the people living in the area could finally take a breath of fresh air...literally. The park, a green lung in the middle of one of the most densely populated area of the city, was something the neighbors around were waiting for for a long time. Today, the park is filled with happy kids running around the playground and grassy area. There are fish pools, an outdoor gym, and even a dog park next door. Kiryat Sefer Park is the perfect place to escape to when looking for a moment of peace in the center of Tel Aviv.
