One of TIsrael’s best venues for live music, the Zappa Club is in the Ramat HaHayal neighborhood. Zappa draws many of Israel’s most popular musicians, as well as a good range of international stars. Zappa hosts concerts most nights. The location i a little out of the way, but is just a short cab drive away from the downtown.










Zimmer

If that’s really the local underground experience you are after, visit HaZimmer. The true hidden gem, HaZimmer doesn’t even have a visible sign from the outside. This awesome secret place is about the size of a large room with a cozy atmosphere and grungy feel. Situated in the Southern part of Tel Aviv, right off of Allenby street, HaZimmer is one of the best spots to catch emerging local indie talents. Enjoy cheep beer while listening to a wide range of underground alternative music in a variety of genres. Shows are not every day, so make sure to check the program before you go.






Bar Giora

Another well known local secret. Centrally located near the Dizengoff Center the bar is not all that it appears from the outside. Looking just as another cafe/restaurant from the outside, Bar Giora offers great food and drinks to the leisurely patrons. But the real action is happening in the basement, tucked away from a unknowing visitor. A variety of local up-and-coming musicians, open mic nights and always an intimate vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy talking to strangers all night long over a beer and, while sitting two meters away from the stage.
