  City Center
  Downtown Jerusalem is the heart of the modern metropolis, with nightlife, dining and culture to rival any major city. The area is made up of several neighborhoods, including the colorful Mahane Yehuda Market, charming Nahalat Shiva, bustling Ben Yehuda and Yafo Streets. Each has its own unique personality and atmosphere that you won’t want to miss out on.
  
  South
  South Jerusalem is an up-and-coming area that has seen the development of numerous attractions in recent years, including the state-of-the-art Jerusalem Payis Arena, which hosts some of the biggest international musical acts and sporting events. It joins places like Emek Refaim Street, Malha Mall, the Biblical Zoo, Teddy Stadium, Gazelle Valley and Ramat Rachel tourism complex in making up an area that is particularly popular with families.
  
  West Jerusalem
  West Jerusalem includes some of Jerusalem’s most charming neighborhoods and interesting attractions. Head to the picturesque Ein Karem at the foot of the Jerusalem Hills for a day of nature, quaint shops and elegant dining with a view. And for an unbeatable cultural experience, check out the Museum District, home to the world-class Israel Museum, the Bible Lands Museum, Science Museum and much more.
  
  Old City
  The Old City of Jerusalem has been a center of culture, religion and history for thousands of years, from the time of the Judean kings and the Roman era through the times of the Islamic Empire to the modern State of Israel. Every brick and stone is teeming with history. No trip to the Middle East is complete without wandering through alleys of the bazaar, walking the ramparts and exploring the Old City’s rich history at the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa) or Tower of David Museum.
  
  NEAR OLD CITY
  Not far from the Old City, you can find some of Jerusalem’s most vibrant entertainment and shopping centers. Mamilla Mall is just a few steps from Jaffa Gate and counts as one of the most luxurious shopping centers in the city, replete with high-end shops, Mamilla Hotel’s Akasha Spa and a collection of restaurants with amazing views. And if you follow Hebron Road, you’ll find the First Station cultural complex and the Yes Planet movie theater and entertainment center.

The Barrel & The Tap is a London-style pub in downtown Jerusalem known for its selection of beers from all over the world, typical menu of greasy yet delicious pub food — burgers, fish and chips, wing, etc. — and lively atmosphere that often turns into a party later at night. It also has a pool table.

“Busy pub with street and inside bar and seating. Great vibe and efficient staff. Beer selection and burgers mega!”

Buzzing pub. Great on the street or inside. Great selection of beer. Finally got a local beer that I enjoyed and price was right too. Smoking wasn’t as much an issue with all the doors open so was very happy to be inside. Was full up so did not dabble with their mega burger...

Buzzing pub. Great on the street or inside. Great selection of beer. Finally got a local beer that I enjoyed and price was right too. Smoking wasn’t as much an issue with all the doors open so was very happy to be inside. Was full up so did not dabble with their mega burger menu. But reading it made me salivate like Homer Simpson. Amazing options and extras to get your stomach yearning for one of their burgers. Note this place is not where Google Maps was saying. Hopefully an edit will fix this. Great vibe. Busy place with it all going on.

“Not good for non smokers”

We were just hit by a wall of smoke when we opened the door. This place is no doubt fine as a night club but for Europeans and Americans now accustomed to smoke free environments I couldn’t recommend this bar as a restaurant.

“Smile !!!!”

1st time in tonight. The lager was ok. But the girl really struggled to raise a smile. Doesnt cost a lot to be pleasant and make you feel welcome. Go to the Dublin around corner. Far more welcoming
