Tailor Made
Hidden on one of the busiest streets of Tel Aviv, a passageway leads to this establishment’s beautiful interior, which boasts loud music and an incredible vibe. This urban atmosphere is special because it is divided into three different sections. The outdoor part is a cozy private yard filled with the most vibrant crowd. If you are with a group of friends, drinks come in a gigantic crystal glass and are incredibly tasty. The Rasin’tini is highly recommended, a fresh drink that you won’t be able to help yourself from ordering more than once. Without the street number outside, you wouldn’t be able to find Tailor Made, so keep your eyes peeled for the passageway.
