The Best Music Venues In Lev Ha'ir Tel Aviv

Lev Ha’ir’s buzzing nightspots stand in contrast to the area’s historic Bauhaus architecture. From deep house playing until the early hours to up-and-coming bands playing live music, follow Culture Trip’s guide for the best music venues in this Tel Aviv neighbourhood.

1. Kuli Alma

Music Venue

Meaning “The Whole World” in Aramaic, this spot has become a bit of an institution in Tel Aviv’s nightlife scene for its unique decor, eclectic live music and cultural events held here. Owned and operated by a group of Tel Aviv DJs, artists and influencers, Kuli Alma knows how to host a good night. Sip cocktails or browse through a photography exhibition while listening to a live electro Arab singer or an ethno-jazzfunk ensemble and enjoying some vegetarian bites.

2. Teder.fm

Bar, Market, Restaurant, Nightclub, Israeli

Tucked away in an enclosed courtyard between Rothschild Boulevard and the Florentin neighbourhood, this open-air spot is a great alternative to the mainstream commercial nightlife. Operated by a radio station, Teder.fm hosts local musicians, from live indie bands to electronic DJs, and occasionally holds pop-up sales of records and vintage clothing. Enjoy the music with a slice of delicious pizza and soak up a quintessentially Tel Aviv atmosphere.

3. Levontin 7

Music Venue

Taking its name from its address, this live music venue attracts people from the local music and art scene, and if you are hungry, there is excellent vegan pizzeria called The Green Cat and a stage in its basement. Visit Levontin 7 to catch daily live performances from the city’s top emerging musicians across a range of genres, in a wholly unpretentious and intimate atmosphere.

5. Sputnik

Bar, Israeli

Part bar, part club, the Sputnik is always a great place for a drink in Tel Aviv

An unassuming alleyway off Allenby Street leads to this retro futuristic-style hipster hangout. With an outdoor garden, multiple rooms and a downstairs dance floor with a superb sound system for its hip hop and electronic DJ sets, Sputnik is considered one of the coolest nightspots in the city.

6. BuXa

Art Gallery, Theater

Contemporary local art meets live music in this funky hipster hangout. This unique art gallery-bar fusion will not disappoint with its daily DJ performances (from dancehall to techno), upscale cocktail bar and a quirky in-house collection of designer toys.

7. Uganda

Bar, Cafe, Israeli

Located just off Rothschild Boulevard, Uganda offers so much more than just music. It’s a live music venue and record store, a bar and cafe with excellent food (don’t miss out on their hummus) and a hub for art exhibitions and pop-up sales. Enjoy an evening at this laid-back spot and get a taste of Tel Aviv’s eclectic culture.
