Tel-Aviv BrewHouse

Cool place with a good vibe and feel. We took a seat upstairs. The bar was fairly crowded but the service was good and friendly. The selection of beers was a tad disappointing (only three) but I have been to countries with no brewpubs so three is better than none. The blond was the best of the three; the dark beer was fair. The third was not really to my liking. The food was surprisingly good and the value was good--it cost us only a few sheckels for what seemed like a lot of food and drink. They also played good American music. Not an American brewpub but worth the stop when in Tel-Aviv, Israel.

Established 1998. I visited it not less than 20 times from 1999 during my trips to Israel.

Place is large and stylish, with two halls (one with a bar and shining brewery pipes over it, the other is a nice wooden terrace) and a small beergarden at the side, open in spring/summer. Only three beers available, all made on the premises their quality varies from awful to mediocre. You can have your beer in 200 cl, 330 cl, 500 cl and one-liter lager glasses, tulips and steins.

Food is pricey and generally uninteresting. Service is efficient and polite. Occasional events. Owners (talked to one of them several times) do not know much about beer. They decided to open the BrewHouse after a vacation in Switzerland and a dinner at Back und Brau.

When in Tel-Aviv, try other places, more pubby and cheerful.
