“Tel Aviv has the best happy hour deals” were wise and deep words once shared by a good friend of mine. As someone, whose lived in Tel Aviv for the past five years, I feel confident enough to say that it’s hard for me to disagree.
In America, happy hour deals start as early as 14:00-15:00 and last until 17:00-18:00, maximum. Most people cannot enjoy the pleasures of cheaper alcohol at that hour due to the reality of work. In Europe, for example, happy hour is barely existent, if at all. So, while Tel Aviv might be one of the most expensive cities in the world, it has the best happy hour deals for sure.
For this reason, I have compiled a list of some of the best happy hours in Tel Aviv that you can enjoy with your friends and loved ones after a long day of work.
Best Happy Hours in Tel Aviv
Chateau Shual – Malkhi Yisrael St 19, Tel Aviv-Yafo
Let’s start this list with Chateau Shual, located right next to Kikar Rabin. Chateau Shual is a wine bar with an excellent happy hour, yummy foods, and great wine.
The happy hour as of 2022 is 50% off on alcohol, except for wine bottles. Plus, there is a 1+1 deal on all foods that have the happy hour sticker placed next to them on the menu. This Tel Aviv happy hour begins Sunday-Thursday from 18:00 to 19:30. Even better, they have the same happy hour deal from 12:00-15:30 on Fridays! 🍷
Bar 223 – Dizengoff St 223, Tel Aviv-Yafo
For great cocktails and excellent service, let’s go to bar 223. It’s located on Dizengoff… you guessed it, at 223! The happy hour is only on their drinks for 50% off, However, it’s still worth it, and it’s every Sunday-Thursday from 18:00-20:00 and on Fridays from 19:00-21:00. Their cocktails are fun and delicious and the setting is cozy and dark.
P.S. if you like the musical Chicago, then you will have the best bathroom experience… 😉
A La Bar – Dizengoff St 92, Tel Aviv-Yafo
A La Bar is also a great option for great food and cocktails. They call themselves “La Shuk’s next-door neighbor (which they technically are). Their entire menu is 30% off, including food, drinks, and cocktails starting from 18:00-20:00.
Beer Bazaar – Yishkon St 36, Tel Aviv-Yafo
For a cheaper Tel Aviv happy hour option, in Shuk HaCarmel and Jaffa’s Flea Market, you will find the Beer Bazaar, which serves a wide range of Israeli craft beers. The vibe is very relaxed, and the happy hour is very inviting too! For only 39 shekels, you can get 3 beers until 8pm!
Ha-Geula Bar – Ge’ula St 51, Tel Aviv-Yafo
Not far from the one located in Shuk HaCarmel, there is another great option on Geula Street, called Ha-Geula Bar. Happy hour is until 10 pm, and it’s 1+1 on all drinks! In addition to tasty food, the bar has an atmosphere reminiscent of a pub in Europe due to its wooden interior.
Gugys – Rambam St 12, Tel Aviv-Yafo
Also in this area is the popular Gugys. While, there is no happy hour here, prices are relatively cheap and the atmosphere is one of a kind. The owner of the bar, Gugy is an eccentric personality and celeb in his own right….
Denim – King George St 83, Tel Aviv-Yafo
Denim on King George towards Kikar Masaryk has happy hour from Sunday to Saturday and 1+1 on drinks! Plus, the food menu is also at a reduced price.
Beer Garden – Harav Reines St 2, Tel Aviv-Yafo
Beer Garden on Dizengoff Square transports you to somewhere in Bavaria… they even have their own street lamps! Happy hour is every Sunday-Thursday from 6-8:30 pm, and everything is 30% off. I think that’s pretty happy 🙃.
The Top Wine Bars for Happy Hour in Tel Aviv
Lastly, I am going to finish off this list with two great wine bars. One is located in the North of Tel Aviv on Kikar Milano called Juno. It’s perfect for date nights or a night out with friend/s. Juno’s happy hour is every Sunday-Thursday from 6-7:30 pm, and 20% is reduced on wines and cocktails. Another great option for wine is Gazzetta bar, which is on Habima square. The happy hour is now from 17:00-19:00 and 30% off of everything, inlcuding wine and food.
