    Apart from my own issues with stimuli,(The music was just a tiny bit too loud for my autistic self) The place is lovely. The lighting is just right, not too dimmed and not too bright, the music is usually right on, the drinks are on a different level, even as an alcohol enthusiast I was satisfied. The place has a very fun vibe and with the right people it can turn into the best night of your life. 10/10 experience would a 100% recommend. If you like punk/metal vibes this is just the place for you. Also LGBTQIA+ friendly staff. There's a ping pong table and a pool table on the different floors, and usually enough space for playing comfortably. In conclusion, do yourself a favour and check it out.

    Very cool place! friendly and funny staff, nice drinks, not too pricy comparing to other bars. This place feels a bit "nerdy" (in a good way) and kind of neighborhood place with special atmosphere unlike most bars.

    Verry good concept. I loved the idea of the potions. its a good bar where you can meet up with new people and play some games. there is also a ping pong table.

  • 5/5 Shanni P. 4 years ago on Google • 119 reviews
    This is by far my favorite bar, and not just in Tell Aviv. It's not too loud and is a more relaxed environment. Designed by nerds for nerds, they often host gaming events and movie screenings. Although drinks can be pricey, they have a great happy hour deal and the drinks are definitely worth the price. Try one of their signature "potions"! They also have a selection of metal puzzles you can solve, which just adds to the bar's charm. If you're more of a traditionalist, they do also have a pool table as well as ping-pong, although that is in the bar's smoking section.

    Undoubtedly my favorite bar. They have cool "potions", great selection of beer to choose from, great food (especially the pizza!!) awesome workers, ping pong and billiard table AND awesome events every once in a while. The music is always great too! Super recommended for tourists and geeks (like myself) or normal people who just want a change of pace. THANKS FOR EXISTING

    Nice concept and that where it ends. The owner is a Discord modder in real life and is behaving like a small tyrant. It's painfully obvious he got this place to hold court and feel accepted. He kicked 2 of my guests out and claimed they were vocal. I tried to humour them about it but it kinda ruined their night (and mine), feeling injustice. I'd stay far away.

    My favorite bar. Love the bartenders and owner. Very friendly. Cheapest place for me to drink. I come during happy hour, which is 830-10!!! can play songs if I ask, get free drinks all the time, try new stuff they get in, play games. A real gem.

  • 5/5 Meirav S. 1 year ago on Google
    Hard Rock vibes but very nice atmosphere. Good rock songs and a pool-table, and also a smoking zone in the basement. The staff were great and fun and the service was awesome. We really enjoyed the drinks - "Potions" as they called them - Mana (blue) and "Stamina" (green). We also ordered a cocktail called "Meadnight" that was very cool and tasty. Our biggest surprise was the incredible pizza. We enjoyed it so much that we ordered another one. The only bad thing I can say about this place is that the toilets are very confusing. They are either without gender, or just labeled wrong. Weird. Thanks for an awesome date night!

    Awesome Rock/Metal/Alternative music and pool tables. I really like the wooden vibes and sound, makes you feel like an English pub. I have only tried the craft beer and honey mead, and will return for the cocktails!

    My friends recommended this place, and I went with them for the first time. The place is great, the potions (which are cocktails served in potion bottles) are awesome (try out the "Phantom" potion!), the people are great, they also have great mead, and the staff are very friendly. Free pool and ping-pong tables are also there. Definetly planning on coming back!

  • 5/5 Eedoh K. 2 years ago on Google • 61 reviews
    A very cool place to hang, cool atmosphere. There are both a pool and ping pong tables! Don't order the potions tho, they are just a gimmick and taste like Suger with syrup.

  • 5/5 Yegor M. 2 years ago on Google
    A wide arsenal of exquisite types of whiskey, enough to convert a non whiskey lover in to a fanatic. Homie and welcoming environment. 5/5.

  • 4/5 איה בר- �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There is fun music, a pleasant atmosphere and a wide variety of drinks. The variety of food and drink is very limited, but it is already a matter of personal taste. (Original) יש מוזיקה כיפית, אווירה נעימה ומגוון משקאות רחב. המגוון באוכל ובשתייה קלה מצומצם מאד, אבל זה כבר עניין של טעם אישי.

  • 3/5 Oded A. 2 years ago on Google
    Kind of cool gothic geek vibe, tasty cocktails and a bunch of craft beer on tap. If you're into all of that - could be a nice experience. Currently they really verify green cards at the door and no masks are required inside. Audio volume is *very* sensible outside karaoke nights (and not that loud then either, compared to other local pubs). Caveats (why I dropped 2 stars) - They completely flout smoking restrictions - the place always feels "smoked in", even when no one in sight is smoking, and late in the evening patrons and even staff are smoking freely on the main floor. Add to that really poor ventilation and you'll leave with all your clothes reeking of cigarette smoke. - no food is served in premises. You are allowed to bring your own and you may be able to convince a bartender (when not otherwise busy) to foot it to a nearby eatery and get you a pizza or fries. (I don't consider this a star-deduction offence, but it is worth mentioning).

    Huge selection of alcohol, from whiskey to beers. The place itself is reminiscent of underground bars from Berlin with a ping pong table in the middle that lightens the mood. Plus they have the most wonderful bartenders in the world!

Besides it is recommended (Original) בר חמוד ביותר אחלה קוטיילים ומבחר דבר אחד שקצת עיצבן זה שלוקחים פיקדון כגון תעודת זהות או שמבקשים מימך לשלם מראש. בברים אחרים לא מבקשים את זה. חוץ מזה מומלץ

    Very awesome and chill bar, decent amount of food and spectacular array of drinks. Their signature drinks are very good, HP is my personal favorite. The pool and ping pong tables are free and the service is amazing! Really friendly and easygoing bartenders. The music is in a good volume so that you may talk to your mates and service speaks both Hebrew and English so tourists are welcome to visit the place during their stay. 5 Stars, favorite place to go for a good time across my mates!

    Had the time of my life here. I was in Tel Aviv for two nights, and went to The Potion Bar both of them. The staff was friendly and helpful, the drinks were good, and the atmosphere was comfortable and fun without needing to be too loud or rowdy. Perfect for a chill, kinda nerdy night.

    A great bar with a very impressive selection of whiskey. Great atmosphere with friendly staff and actually-good music in the background. Every once in a while there is a beer-pong tournament - which is stupid-fun and highly recommended to join if you have the opportunity. Ever since a friend introduced me to this place, I don't bother going to other bars. I highly recommend tryin the mead and the absinthe, both made in Israel. You won't get a chance to try those in any other place.
