Tel Aviv is home to endless restaurants and bars that offer a perfect blend of delectable cuisine, refreshing drinks, and live music. So here is, in no particular order, five recommendations for live music restaurants and bars in Tel Aviv.

Levontin 7

This industrial grunge basement bar is a must-visit for the hungry music-lover.

Teder.fm

This recommendation will come as no surprise to any seasoned Tel Aviv traveler; Teder.fm (or Teder to locals) repeatedly shows up on “best of Tel Aviv” lists, both for its artisanal pizza, and for its impeccable vibes. The courtyard style beer garden sits under Salon Romano pizzeria, where Israeli superstar chef Eyal Shani brings his culinary precision to huge, delectable, crispy thin-crust pizzas. Featuring fresh tomato sauce (Eyal Shani is tomato-obsessed, even his Instagram is @eyaltomato!) and huge medallions of fresh mozzarella, Salon Romano pizzas go best with the sharing-style pitchers of beer at Teder’s aesthetic picnic tables. Grab a seat with friends under the string lights and hanging flowers and enjoy a wide range of music, from folksy live concerts to new-age DJ beats. If you can’t catch them in person, check out their nightly concert livestream.

Where: Derech Jaffa 9, Tel Aviv-Yafo

When: Every night except Sunday, from 8:00pm (tables fill up by 9 pm)
