The Malabia
Although The Malabia isn’t strictly speaking a bar, it ranks as an undisputed local hotspot. To be fair, they do sell Goldstar beers, but the main attraction is undeniably the malabi. Made from a milk-based (or vegan) rose-water pudding, topped with a choice of favored syrups (we recommend the cinnamon vanilla) and sprinkled with nuts and coconut for crunchiness. The light, refreshing dessert is perfect for a summer night, either on the way to the bar or after a night of partying. It’s also easy on the wallet, at only ten shekels a pop. What makes this place so unique is its nightlife vibe and cult following, illustrated by its patio, which is ordinarily packed until closing at 2 am. The Malabia also offers board games such as backgammon and checkers, making it excessively easy to loose track of time and spend the whole evening.
