Tap and Tail - A Bar in Mahane Yehuda Market

Creative mixology and dairy tapas in the heart of Mahane Yehuda Market - a small, neighborhood bar that has become one of the addresses to know for a Jerusalem night out.

Tap and Tail is a kosher cocktail bar (dairy, under supervision) at 6 Etz Chaim Street, inside the alleys of Mahane Yehuda Market. It was opened by childhood friends from Jerusalem who wanted to give the city one more nightlife address worth having - and the result is a place that pairs creative cocktails, sometimes built on fresh ingredients from the market stalls, with a light dairy tapas menu made for drinking alongside.

What makes Tap and Tail special

• Cocktails in a creative mixology style, with unusual flavor combinations.
• A dairy tapas menu, under an independent community kosher supervision, that changes with whatever is fresh in the market.
• Beers on tap and wine, alongside the cocktail list.
• An intimate, neighborhood feel, typical of the small bars that have grown up inside the market's alleys.

Where it is and how to get there

Tap and Tail is at 6 Etz Chaim Street, one of the inner alleys of Mahane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem. It opens in the evening, after the market stalls have closed and the whole place shifts into night mode. Come early in the evening if you want a seat: the bar is small and intimate by nature, and tends to fill up on weekends and on Thursday nights.

So what next?
