Video Pub stands as Jerusalem's sole dedicated gay bar, renowned for its electrifying parties in a city marked by religious conservatism. The vibe is cozy and unpretentious, featuring cheesy decor with rainbow bunting, artwork of rugged men, and stacks of VHS tapes celebrating icons like Queen and Audrey Hepburn. It's a welcoming spot for all orientations to savor 80s hits and electro-pop while sipping drinks.
The menu boasts bilingual options in English and Hebrew, from gin and tonics served European-style to local arak and nachos, at prices friendlier than Tel Aviv's scene. Occasional drag shows add flair and excitement. Here, Jews, Christians, and Muslims unite in a rare, harmonious LGBTQ+ space. Whether you're after a casual lounge or a wild night with local DJs spinning tracks, Video Pub delivers authentic gay bar energy with an Israeli twist.
