Shoshan
The gay and lesbian scene in Jerusalem is much more subdued compared with that in Tel Aviv. At the time of writing the main evening hangout was Shoshan, a small, slick bar at the end of a quiet alley south of Safra Sq. A drag show is held on Monday, dance parties are on Thursday and Friday, while Sunday is lesbian night.

Acid
Loud, brash with pounding techno and a very gay-friendly scene, Acid is vast, friendly and the place to really let loose on the dance floor beneath an impressive laser display. Make sure you're ready for quite a night of it, as chances are you'll be dragged along to an after party when the club's doors finally close.

Jewish Princess
A healthy mix of gay, straight and bisexual yuppies pervades this creatively-designed bar, fitted with leather couches and red lighting that pokes through dangling lamps. There is a hidden lounge in the back, tapas are available and the management is friendly.

Move
If you only have the time for one club in Tel Aviv, make it this place. Bursting at the seams with young Israelis, the quandary of how so many people fit into such a small space is a sight to behold. Tuesday is gay night.

Carpé Diem
A relaxed atmosphere pervades this gay and lesbian place, helped by the back lounge deck which has floor seating on cushions. Occasional professional strip performances: Monday for men and Tuesday for women.

Evita
This is a preppy café that mutates into a saucy gay lounge-bar by night. There's plenty of pelvic-shaking and free-flowing alcohol. It's located on a quiet alley a half-block south of Rothschild Blvd.

Minerva
This dedicated lesbian bar was supposedly renovated, though it's still quite the seedy dive, which may appeal to some. DJ dance parties are held every Thursday.
