Gatsby is one of the anchor bars of the Mahane Yehuda market's legendary nightlife scene, operating inside the shuk after the market stalls close for the evening. The atmosphere is electric — market stalls transform into bar seating, the music gets loud, and the crowd is a mix of locals and visitors all sharing the same electric energy. Their cocktails are well-made and the vibe is unlike anywhere else in the city. Expect serious crowds Thursday through Saturday nights.
