  1. A

    Borderline

    The name of this place comes from its location close to the former Green Line, which divided Israel from Jordan prior to 1967. It’s not so tense these days, with a pleasant garden and rustic indoor bar of Jerusalem stone. The clientele is a pleasant mix of Palestinian businessmen and foreign aid workers based in the neighbourhood.

    Gong

    Stunning Japanese-influenced place with black lacquered furniture, blood-red lighting and blaring hip-hop sounds. It's mostly a bar but they also serve excellent appetisers like sushi and chicken wings, as well as main dishes: try the excellent stuffed beef with shitaki mushrooms.

    Bolinat

    In the late afternoon the patio in front of Bolinat is jam-packed with young Jerusalemites sunning themselves and downing pints of beer. Basic meals like sandwiches and salads are also available. Since it’s always open it gets busy on Shabbat and late on weekend nights.
