Lesbian Bars in Tel Aviv (Updated: 2025)

I spent nearly two weeks exploring Tel Aviv, and I absolutely fell in love with the city—especially because it’s incredibly LGBTQ+ and vegan-friendly. In this post, I’ll share my favorite lesbian bars and parties in Tel Aviv, and where to find the best events!

Lesbian Bars and Parties

Seven Eleven: Otto (54 Ahad Ha’Am St)

Every Monday night, there’s a lesbian party at Otto bar—and it’s one of the best places in Tel Aviv to meet other queer women. If you checked the event listing I shared earlier, the bar is written as “Auto” and the street as “Echad Ha’Am,” but if you want to find it on Google Maps, use Otto, 54 Ahad Ha’Am St. The entrance is a bit hidden—it’s actually on Sderot Rothschild, tucked behind a yellow and blue structure (see the photo below for reference).

The party itself was so much fun, and I was genuinely surprised at how many lesbians showed up for a Monday night—it was packed! The atmosphere was great, and the music was a mix of the latest hits and danceable throwbacks. Drinks are on the pricier side, but that’s pretty much the norm across Israel.

As of 2025, it looks like they might no longer be hosting the parties, according to their Facebook page.

Shpagat (43 Nakhalat Binyamin)

This is a nice, relaxed gay bar where I stopped by a couple of times just to have a drink. They have an outdoor and indoor seating, and there’s also a cool theater-style seating inside. Overall, an awesome bar: great vibe, beautiful decoration, and a central location! They also organize lesbian events, so check out their socials for up to date information!

Update 2025: Apparently, Shpagat has closed down, but there are other gay-friendly bars around the same area.
