Jerusalem’s nightlife often surprises visitors with its diversity and modernity. If you’re looking for a spot of cafe culture and a world class selection of International cuisine, visit Nahalat Shiva just off Jaffa Street. Particularly good are the Chinese and Korean restaurants tucked away in the sidestreets.
If copious amounts of beer and cheap cocktails are more your scene, the Russian Compound is a hidden gem largely untouched by the tourist masses. At the old city end of Jaffa Street, turn uphill into what looks like the residential area. Alternatively get a cab - they’re prolific and reasonably priced. For a seriously cheap thrill, try the ‘Arizona’ club, again at the bottom of Jaffa Street, which does a one price, drinks included night of debauchery for a ridiculously bargain price, if you’ve the stomach for the toilets!
Clubbers should grab a taxi to the industrial estate in the South of town, where the biggest & best club is ‘Haoman Shvaresrey’. It has several rooms with chart music, house & garage, salsa, rock and R&B.
The theatre holds nightly classical concerts, but the cultural centre is really Tel Aviv, whose opera and ballet are well worth a look.
Please now see my reviews of Jerusalem in general (‘The Incredible Melting Pot’), Israel in general (‘A Little Something for Everyone’) and Bethlehem, Haifa, the Dead Sea, Eilat, Gaza, Masada, Nazareth, Tel Aviv and the Galilee.
