Video Pub is a gay bar in Jerusalem. It is the only dedicated gay bar in the city, which is generally known for its religious conservatism.

Description

[edit]

Video Pub was established in January, 2012. While it is the only gay bar in Jerusalem, it was not the first. A now-defunct gay bar called "The Mikveh" had previously opened in 2011.[1] The building that Video Bar is located in was previously a farmhouse outside of Jerusalem's Old City district, before the area was urbanized.[2][3]
