The Underground is the grand-daddy of Jerusalem clubs. It''s been serving up drinks and dancing for as long as anyone can remember and though the clientele changes, the club really doesn''t. Found behind a dark gate on Yael Solomon across from Zion Square, the Underground is the stomping ground of the 18-25 set.
There are 2 parts of the Underground: the street level "bar" and the lower-level "disco". This review deals primarily with the bar. The bar is spacious and features an elevated seating area that fills up fast. Other seating is available at picnic tables, but these also double as dancing space. Beware: at least one picnic table will be capsized on any given night.
The crowd is a mix of young Israelis, military men (with guns!) and young backpackers. Most nights, there is a happy hour which starts well before the crowd arrives and gives those on a budget a chance to down a few before hitting the disco.
