Nightlife in Tel Aviv

Nightlife in Tel Aviv is non-stop, and there's always a party happening, even on Friday nights when most of the city shuts down for Shabbat. There's a reason why the partying is guaranteed fun: in 2012 Traveler's Digest ranked Tel Aviv #10 for best looking men and #7 for best looking women in the world.

Tel Aviv has two seasons of nightlife, Summer and Winter, each with a distinctive feel. If you're in Tel Aviv during the summer season (April-October), clubs are your best bet with most opening just for the summer months. Dance your sandals off at Galina at the Namal where you can grab a table outdoors with a group for the perfect summer party, or head to Clara which is right on the water in the old Dolphinarium just south of Bluebird Beach for a club experience you won't forget. If clubs aren't your thing, the city has no shortage of outdoor bars - try Teder FM at the end of Rothschild Boulevard, which doubles as a radio station that often broadcasts live bands.

For winter partying (November-March) check out Shesek, which has incredible music that will keep you dancing all night. Boutique Wine Bar, which has a few locations throughout the city, is the perfect spot to share a bottle of great Israeli wine. Maoz, the Malkei, and Comfort are also worth checking out for a classic Tel Aviv night out any time of the year.

Tel Aviv also has a vibrant Gay scene, and was named #1 Gay City in 2012 in a survey run by American Airlines and gaycity.com. For the best gay nightlife check out Lima Lima on Mondays which is a famously good time and Evita every night of the week.
