TEL AVIV: Haoman 17
When things get turbulent in the region—when aren't they?—Israelis have that much more steam to blow off. Mandatory army service (for men and women) also guarantees a populace that's young, fit, and with sexual energy to burn. Haoman 17 is the country's largest club, with an outpost here and an original in Jerusalem.
Velvet Rope Factor: Long lines are common. Be polite with the doormen and you'll be fine.
In Good Company: Young, vibrant Israelis in tight jeans, who stay up dancing until noon the next day.
Hey, Mr. DJ: Welcome to techno village. Electronica still reigns supreme around these parts, and renowned DJs such as Frankie Knuckles and Paul van Dyk have worked their turntables in the megaclub to magic effect.
Sip on This: Maccabee beer, a local fave.
When to Go: Thursday and Friday nights from midnight till the wee hours. Closed on Saturdays.
