Jerusalem
Glug your way through more than 100 craft beers (including dozens of Israeli brews) at this enormously popular bar in Mahane Yehuda Market. The Jerusalem branch of a Tel Aviv microbrew chain, Beer Bazaar rotates both the beers on tap and the entertainment, which ranges from 'beer yoga' to live music.
Pace your hoppy adventures with a little help from Beer Bazaar's kosher food menu, including stout-marinated ribs, hummus platters and soups. Seating spills out onto the alleyway at night.
