When people think of Tel Aviv, the first few things that come to mind is the beach, delicious street food and the great nightlife. With its attractive tropical Mediterranean climate, seaside location, and exciting vibes, it’s no surprise Tel Aviv is well known as the party capital of the Middle East. From the trendy cocktail bars ( Bellboy is our favourite) to the late night parties which go to the wee hours of the night, the white city is the ideal party city.
Unfortunately, despite all the praise of Tel Aviv’s attractions, all this comes with a cost, and the price isn’t cheap. Boozing around Tel Aviv can be a lot more expensive than you would think. Most bars will charge for a half litre of draft beer 28-32 NIS and cocktails will start from 35 NIS and can even go up to 60 NIS. These high prices can put a damper on partygoers starting their night out at one of the many bars in Tel Aviv. Luckily, there is Lager & Ale to help us start Thirsty Thursday at the right price.
Located in the popular tourist destination Sarona Market, Lager and Ale provides the best bang for your buck in Tel Aviv when it comes to drinks and bar food. In early 2018, they introduced to Tel Aviv a new and innovative bar concept which people compare to a London-style pub. Instead of ordering drinks from waiters, it’s all self-service where you order your drinks and food straight from the bar. The food menu is typically prepared quickly and is served within a few short minutes of ordering. You’ll get notified by a text message when your food is ready and then “Bon Appétit”.
Among the many different drinks they offer, the obvious choice is beer. They offer over 15 draft beers on tap with much more cold bottled beer. You will find your favourite draft beers such as Guinness, Hoegaarden, Stella, Weihenstephan and many more on tap. We suggest you pay homage to the Israeli craft beer scene and try out the Negev beer. You will thank us later on.
What makes this bar different from the rest of the bars in Tel Aviv? It’s simple, the price of a cold beer. The prices are a key part of the DNA of Lager & Ale. Most ⅓ litre beers will cost you 12-15 NIS while ½ litre will cost you 18-22 NIS. They offer nice deals on “chasers” for Whiskey, Arak and Vodka as well.
Like most bars, they provide a nice selection of bar food. The menu is based on many different street foods from around the globe. From their food options, we recommend you try their plate of cold meats (38 NIS), corn beef sandwich (38 NIS) and their nachos (28 NIS). It should be noted that the size of the dishes were personal and suitable to accompany a good cold beer of your choice, but I would suggest treating these dishes as a bar snack rather than a meal. As mentioned above – the main focus is the drinks and not the food.
Lager & Ale is open every weekday from 2 pm to 1 am, which makes it a nice affordable option before or after a party or a nice chill night out with friends or family.
