I DON’T CARE HOW LONG IT TAKES ME, I’M GOING SOMEWHERE BEAUTIFUL

Israel’s first, longest running and most awarded cocktail bar. 223 was opened in 2008, pioneering the field of cocktails in Israel and showcasing a new, never-seen-before, approach to hospitality.

223 is historically considered a hot bed for the field's top bartenders and a cradle of leadership for the Israeli hospitality industry.

A unique and surreal approach for hospitality and cocktails is what characterizes Bellboy the most. By using obscure and unusual ingredients combined with quirky and fun presentations, Bellboy is a game-changing, high-end, unforgettable experience.

Butler is a non-identical twin to ‘Bellboy’. Situated inside a secret room within the ‘Bellboy’ perimeter, Butler features a quaint, classic, one-on-one bartending experience. Showcasing the smallest bar room in Israel with only 12 seats, Butler is available for date-night, solitude drinking or small private functions with your own personal "Butler".

In the heart of Tel Aviv, we established Hôtel de Ville, our charming Gastro-Bar filled with magic inspired by the countless small neighborhood bistros which dot the various quarters of Paris.

DuckFace events is Israel's first quality events bar service featuring creative drinks, fun loving atmosphere and an innovative approach to hospitality. DuckFace, from the creators of award winning bars such as "BELLBOY" and "223", represents a new era in modern events and redefines the experience for event goers around Israel and the world.

Fantastic is our most ambitious project, stretching the boundaries of restaurant, bar & theater. Fantasy and Hospitality collide under the watchful eye of our Host, Mr. Fantastic. Be our guest in our restaurant, The Tearoom, set in the beautiful garden of Fantastic, or enjoy unique cocktails in our luxurious Ballroom (coming soon). An experience not to forget, step inside our Fantastic world.
