Minzar Bar

Great bar just off the market. Nice and cool inside. Really good Guinness as well. We did not eat here, but the range looked good. Bar staff really nice and the music was magic. Really nice pub. If I lived in Tel Aviv it would be my local. Great stuff. This place is a legendary institution in Tel Aviv, open around the clock. Great service, fair prices and good food (plates could be a bit bigger). Overall great place for coffee or cold beer after shopping in the market or nice chill before/after clubbing or bar tour. A must.
