But when the sun goes down, this area becomes one of the city&#8217;s nightlife centers. Restaurants are packed, bars are massive and the nightclubs are lined one next to the other. Some of the biggest names in the city&#8217;s nightlife scene are located here, and some excellent restaurants too, so if it&#8217;s past 7 PM, it is definitely an area worth a visit.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the combination of casual atmosphere, great food and superb design the Coffee Bar (13 Yad Harutzim St., Tel 03-6889696) is probably among the best places to dine in Tel Aviv. This mostly French cuisine bistro is accompanied by a rich wine list and friendly service, in what is often referred to as one of the best casual restaurants in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Another culinary treat nearby is Vince and Tamar (10 Hazfira St., Tel: 03-6390407), which is an industrial-chic Italian restaurant. You will find no formal menus here, but daily specials listed on a blackboard. The moderate prices are more than reasonable for your diner value.<\/p>\n<p>Yad Harutzim hosts many nightclubs in a pretty condensed area. The Dome is one of the city&#8217;s well established Mega-clubs, usually playing house and techno music. Prices are not cheap, but you will get your money&#8217;s worth if Mega-Clubs are your cup of tea. Nearby are the SO and the VOX nightclubs, both offering the same type of music to similar crowd, happy and friendly (especially after a couple of drinks).<\/p>\n<p>If the underground scene and some experimental music are your thing, Caf\u00e9 Barzilay is a smaller club that frequently hosts great DJs from abroad. Sometimes there are live performances of alternative Israeli artists too.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for mega-bars, mega-clubs or good restaurants in a downtown atmosphere, then Yad Harutzim is the place for you to visit. Bare in mind that traffic is pretty crowded there so you&#8217;d better come with Sherut (service) shared taxis, which has stops nearby on its way to the Central Bus Station.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.drunkintelaviv.co.il\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\">More about Tel Aviv bars and night life &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yad Harutzim is a nightlife center in downtown Tel Aviv, with many bars, mega-clubs and fine restaurants.  <a href=\"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/?p=40\"><img src=\"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/wp-content\/themes\/inisrael-news\/images\/moor.jpg\" alt=\"read more\" title=\"Israel travel guide - inisrael.com\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,4],"tags":[80,67,63,33596,33584],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":686,"href":"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40\/revisions\/686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.inisrael.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
