Friday
An eclectic night of live music at the Koro from 21:00. Mechonat Hereg, Bar Vase and The Orions. Cheap entry, cheap booze.

If you miss the Rogatka Bar (as I do) then head down to the Zimmer from 22:00 for a night of the old bar’s resident DJs:
dj SIMA
dj L.M.Krav

It’ll be trashy, bassy, beaty and cheap with lots of female energy. I expect it not to cost much more than 10-20NIS if that.
