    Hummus Abu Dabi

    Grab a late lunch or snack at Hummus Abu Dabi. The laid-back vibe and Reggae music make it a perfect spot to relax before the evening rush. Note that Fridays close early at 18:00, so this plan works best on other days.

    Mike's Place

    End the evening at Mike's Place. This American-style bar is an 11-minute walk from the square. It features outdoor seating, which is pleasant in good weather, and live music every night. It is open until 04:00, so you can stay as late as you like.

Local tip

Dizengoff Square is a central hub, so expect some foot traffic. For the best view of the sunset, position yourself near the edge of the square facing west/southwest. Mike's Place is a reliable spot for live music and has a mostly Anglo crowd, making it easy to find a seat.
