Going out tips:

When: People start going out around 8 PM, which goes on until about 4 AM. Most of the restaurants are open until midnight, who may offer night menus starting at 11 PM. Local bars usually start to fill up around 9 PM. If you are planning to go to a popular bar, especially on Thursday to Saturdays, make sure not to be late, or it may take you a while to get in. Dance bars get packed by 1 AM, and continue all night long.

Where: There are several entertainment areas, each having its own atmosphere and type of people.

Age: Bars and clubs are checked for ID, where the entrance age changes according to the specific place.

Tipping: Most waiters and bartenders live on tips only, therefore, tipping is customary. 12 % is the official rate.

Alcohol: Most bars and clubs offer a wide variety of alcohol, cocktails and draft beers. Israelis are not big drinkers, therefore drunks are not very common.
