Israel's Most Internationally Respected Bar
Imperial Craft Cocktail Bar has been ranked in the World's 50 Best Bars list and is the most internationally respected bar in Israel. The room is intentional — leather banquettes, dim warm lighting, around 40 seats — and the cocktail programme is committed to classical discipline.
The drinks are precise. The bartenders use Israeli ingredients heavily — Israeli arak, Tabor wine reductions, locally distilled gin. The seasonal menu rotates with thoughtful original cocktails alongside reliable classics.
The crowd is mid-thirties Tel Aviv cocktail enthusiasts and visiting cocktail tourists. Pair with Spicehaus for a complete Tel Aviv cocktail evening.
