Nice place, cool drinks, food is pretty much average (maybe a little below average considering its location. It is a really nice place to sit in. if you are looking for a cool place to sit and have some drinks this is definitely the right place, if you are trying to have some sort of meal this place is good, but would definitely not be the best option in the market.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Holy Grail of Israeli Craft Beer!
If you love beer and good vibes, Beer Bazaar in Mahane Yehuda is non-negotiable—it is an absolute must-visit in Jerusalem!
This place isn't just a bar; it is the beating heart of the Shuk's nightlife. The location is pure magic. You’re sitting right in the middle of the market, surrounded by colorful graffiti murals and the electric energy of Jerusalem after dark. It’s the perfect blend of gritty market authenticity and hip, welcoming warmth.
🍺 The Beer:
The selection is mind-blowing. They have over 100 Israeli craft beers, which is paradise if you want to support local breweries.
Must-try: Ask for the "Fat Cat" (Chatul Shamen) if you like a smooth Pale Ale, or the "Bindi" if you are an IPA lover—it is bursting with flavor.
The Taps: Their rotating taps are always fresh, and the staff is incredible at letting you taste before you commit. They clearly love what they do and are super knowledgeable without being snobby.
🍔 The Food:
Do not sleep on the food! The menu is kosher and perfectly designed to soak up the alcohol. The chili-con-carne and their hot dogs are legendary, but honestly, even the popcorn they give you with the beer tastes better here than anywhere else.
The Vibe:
The music is always on point, the staff treats you like old friends, and the crowd is a great mix of locals and travelers. Whether you are starting your night or ending it, this is the place to be.
Bottom line: Great people, unbeatable atmosphere, and the best beer selection in Israel. 10/10, highly recommended!
Nice place with large choice of Israeli beers, authentic brewery in the heart of Mahane Yehuda market.
Expect to pay 23-28 Nis for a beer.
Great choice of combinations as well - 5 first beers for 55 Nis.
Nicest people ever. Tons of microbrews to choose from. My brother-in-law knows the owner = Kosher. I had their Chummus plate and boy let me tell ya.... drum roll please.... it is out of this world! Thank you, Eitan!!!!!!! 😎
Nice choice of beers (try the belgian triple!) and honestly a great service rarely seen in Israel. Also, always good music. But do not go, I wanna be sure I still have a place to sit ;)
