The Brewery

Did you know that in the far south of Israel, in the sunny resort city of Eilat, there is a unique establishment called Ha-Mivshala (The Brewery)? It is the only brewery on the entire Red Sea coast that combines modern production with a cozy bar-restaurant. The main feature of the place is a glass wall through which every guest can watch the magic of turning malt and hops into a foamy drink right during dinner.

The interior of the venue is filled with industrial romance and creativity: here you can see lamps made from old beer bottles and barley grains embedded directly into the tabletops under glass. The space is divided into two zones: a noisy and lively hall with a bar where music often plays, and a production workshop equipped with advanced German machinery.

Founded by a group of like-minded enthusiasts, the brewery has become a true cultural hub for craft lovers. It is not just a place to have a beer, but a kind of interactive museum promoting brewing traditions in a region where nothing like it existed before. People come here for authenticity, lively conversation, and, of course, the freshest beer in town.

For those planning a visit, we have gathered all the necessary contact information in one place. You can check availability in advance or book a table by phone to ensure a guaranteed evening in a cozy atmosphere. This up-to-date information will help you quickly find this popular spot in the city's industrial zone.

The main ritual for every guest is the tasting of signature brews. The staff will offer you a special flight consisting of small samples (usually 4 to 8 varieties) of freshly brewed beer. You can try everything from a classic light pilsner to a rich dark porter or a fragrant amber ale. The selection is updated regularly, so you can discover a new flavor with every visit.

In addition to the drinks, the establishment is famous for its kitchen. Be sure to try the local burgers, which many consider the best in the city, as well as original snacks like shrimp, homemade sausages with mustard, or crispy onion rings. The menu successfully combines elements of Italian and Spanish cuisines, offering an excellent choice of dishes to pair with different types of beer.

Don't forget to pay attention to the interior details—it's a pleasure of its own. Examining original design solutions, such as the barley under the glass of the tables, creates a special mood. And if you particularly fall in love with a certain beer, you can always purchase a liter bottle to go to extend the pleasure of your visit to Ha-Mivshala.

The brewery is located at HaOrgim St 2, in the city's industrial zone. Although it is slightly removed from the main tourist promenade and central blocks, getting here is quite easy. It is a well-known spot on the city map, so any taxi driver will have no trouble taking you right to the brewery's doors.

If you prefer to get around in a rental car, use your navigator to search for the coordinates or the name HaOrgim Street. For those staying in the northern part of the city, a walk is even possible, though it is better to use transport during the hotter months. Public transport also runs in this direction, but a taxi from the center remains the fastest and most comfortable way to arrive.

The story of this place began with an ambitious idea from three friends—two expats from Russia and their Israeli partner. They decided to fill the niche for high-quality craft brewing in the region and opened a venue in Eilat that quickly became a local legend. The founders aimed not just to create a bar, but to build a real beer museum where every guest could experience the culture of beer production.

To bring the project to life, professional modern equipment was purchased in Germany. Since malt is not produced in Israel, it is also imported from German factories to ensure the highest quality of every batch. This allows them to maintain their status as the only full-fledged brewery on the Red Sea coast.

Since its founding, the establishment has earned a solid reputation among experts and travelers alike. Its high rating, based on thousands of positive reviews, confirms that the concept of "live" beer and open production is extremely popular. Today, the brewery is considered a must-visit for those who want to see the modern and dynamic side of the Israeli resort.

To fully enjoy the atmosphere and the cuisine, we recommend setting aside 2–3 hours for your visit. This is plenty of time to leisurely order a tasting flight of several beers, explore the snack menu, and simply relax to pleasant music while watching the brewers work behind the glass.

If you are planning a visit with a large group or want to have a full dinner, your stay may extend to 4 hours. Given the popularity of the place, especially in the evenings and on weekends, it is best not to rush and allow yourself to fully immerse in the democratic and welcoming atmosphere of this unique bar.

The brewery hospitably opens its doors daily, allowing tourists and locals to enjoy fresh craft beer any day of the week. The working hours are quite flexible, making it convenient for both an early lunch and a late dinner.

The venue operates on the following schedule: Monday, Thursday, and Saturday from 12:00 to 00:00; Tuesday and Wednesday from 13:00 to 00:00. On Friday and Sunday, the brewery closes an hour later, staying open from 12:00 to 01:00, making it a great place to end an active weekend.

Exploring the area around the brewery is a great way to complement your trip to Eilat. After tasting the craft brews, you can head to one of the nearby amusement parks or museums to diversify your leisure time with some active recreation or a cultural program.

Within a radius of a few kilometers, you'll find water attractions as well as unique themed sites. Below is a list of nearby interesting locations worth visiting:
