Nilus Bar Tel Aviv

About a girl

Reuven from Tel Aviv

""Nilus Bar" in Tel Aviv is a bar I like because they serve drinks mixed with fresh orange juice instead of packed, and because their food is just amazing."

The Nilus bar (Nilus is how we call the Niles river) stands where for many years a crap-selling store used to be. I guess the formal definition would be an antique store, but I think mine is much more accurate. So, it took me a while (and a girl I used to date with and now we're just friends that told me "let's go to the Nilus") to notice that things have changed there.

Back when Israel was a British colony, the place used to be a hotel, and now that all the crap (antiques) and the shelves have been removed, you can actually see it.

What I super like there is: first, they squeeze oranges (and maybe other fruits as well), which make any drink (except ones without oranges) much better. Second thing: the food is amazing. Not much variety, but everything tastes good.

Although the place was established and is run by a woman-only staff, men are treated nice, maybe even as nice as women are treated. But I drink there so many glasses of gin and orange (the best addition to gin when it's fresh), what do I know?

There are also all kind of cultural events taking place there; check their FB page so you won't miss anything.

Tel Aviv Spotter Reuven

About me I first arrived to Tel Aviv when I was 18, in order to be a musician. It was love at first sight (between me and Tel Aviv. Becoming a rock star turned out to be harder than I had imagined). After I finished my army service as a paratrooper, I did the traditional “after-army” trip and immediately afterwards came back to Tel Aviv and I’ve been here until this very day. Upon graduating from Tel Aviv University, with a major in economics, I ditched a promising (didn't promise anything) sommelier career (still a hobby) and moved into the finance field. Luckily, the compa...
