What a difference 24 months make!
Your intrepid old blogger, accompanied by photographer extraordinaire Mike Horton, took several cold night strolls through Jerusalem's Machane Yehuda market -- rapidly becoming the city's new center for night life -- looking for Israeli craft beers on draft (or draught, as Mike would write). We found them in no less than 17 bars and restaurants.

The numbers on this map of the Machane Yehuda market in Jerusalem
refer to the bars and restaurants listed below.

Here then are the photos of the craft beer taps, the name and address of the bar/restaurant, and the name of the barperson who was there to greet us. In most cases, you can click on the name of the establishment and go to its Facebook page, where you can learn more about each one.
Like all eating establishments in Machane Yehuda, these places are kosher, although with different certifications. Some are full-blown restaurants; others serve pub grub, or only alcohol. This is mentioned in the names below each photograph.
Since the market is a maze of streets, lanes and alleyways making it almost impossible to list the locations in any logical geographical order, we decided to use the English alphabet instead.
The map above shows all locations with their identifying number. You can save this map on your computer and then print it out for easy use. In the near future, we also hope to bring you a more detailed and interactive map which you can download directly to your smartphone.
We hope this helps get you out into the Machane Yehuda market and into enjoying Israeli craft beers in their natural setting.
