Underground Clubs

The Block

The main room is an acoustic masterpiece that delivers a pure sound across the dancefloor and features international bigwigs from electronic music scene just about every Thursday, when locals and foreigners alike flock to the Block en masse.

The Block also features two other rooms with their own sound systems where local and international support plays during the main parties on Thursday and Friday and smaller parties are held on other days.

The Lounge is a more laidback bar area, while the Squat boasts a decidedly underground flavor.

Friday parties usually cater to the gay community.

The Penguin Club

The Penguin Club is another underground club, located in a basement, but unlike many other basement clubs, the owners of the Penguin Club invested heavily in its interior design in addition to its sound.

The club has several sections, each with a classic wooden bar stocked well with every different type of alcohol and manned by friendly professional bartenders that can tend to whatever your drink order may be.

In the middle, there is a low-key private bar for VIP’s of sorts who are connected to the club in some way. There are also two small booths with doors that you can lock from the inside if you want a break from the revelry either by yourself or with a fellow clubber, as well as booths with tables near the DJ booth. The massive main bar is adjacent to the dance floor.

Get to the Penguin Club late if you want a party already in motion because it’s not uncommon for the place to be virtually dead as late as 1 am or 2 am.

Clara

Tel Aviv has certainly become an underground hot spot, but its mainstream club scene isn’t suffering for it. The hugely popular Clara club makes the absolute most of its prime beachfront real estate, with a sprawling outdoor dance floor and lounging area dotted with comfortable sofas and tables and typically full of the most beautiful people in the city.

If you want to party the night away with the sea air in your face and the waves crashing at your feet, Clara is certainly the place to go.

Keep in mind, though, that Clara is known for its strict door policy, so dress to impress and get there early if you want to avoid long lines.
