Life in the city: M.A.S.H. sports bar on Dizengoff

Happy bar owner with sports figures... go figure, but cute ;~)' So you can't find a ticket to the football game or affort the plane ticket to go to your favorite English Premier League game??? Too bad     ;-(   --   --   WAIT a second... I have an answer for you. Get up and to to 275 Dizengoff Street (Tel: 03-605-1007) to the M.A.S.H. Sports Bar (MASH stands for More Alcohol Served Here).

At the MASH you will find many compatriots. It's not quite like being there, but its' as close as you'll ever get without getting on a plane. The MASH has a real sports bar atmosphere, dark and cool when the action is slow, hot and noisy when the game is going full bore. When the game is good, you will find English, American or even Russian / Ukrainian fans screaming and jumping like the best of them. This is one place where you can cheer and boo just like you were in the stadium and barely get noticed. You may even find an opposing team fan who is a great noise sparring partner. Don't worry, it's all in good fun, no real head bashing or beer mug throwing here at all. They tend to carry all the big games that make sense. Specially football (British meaning, soccer for you Americans) and basketball. But you can also request any other event if you have a group, they may even put your 'American Football' game on a side screen or the main projection screen if no local sport team is playing somewhere. You would be amazed how many games and Israeli + a tourist fan can come up with! No kidding, some times of the year it's non-stop from about 6PM to when you wish to go home. Oh, another thing about Israeli bars, they will "close the kitchen" at 2:00AM but you can stay to see the game if you are making enough noise and buying beer. MASH mascaraed as a timid bar...
Also, the MASH has lovely servers which will provide any alcoholic drink or bar food item. They have a decent selection if beers, ales and mixed drinks. The M.A.S.H. will also take care of your hunger with burgers, hot dogs, schnitzel, french fries, onion rings and a complete English Breakfast (served hot anytime).
... come cheer your team, enjoy the booze and have a nosh at the M.A.S.H. // sam-d (back on the blog, in T"A)
