Events in the city at http://www.kivunim7.co.il  (Hebrew).

Pubs – Almost all of the pubs are open on Friday evenings as well. There are a few pubs in the vicinity of the university, for example "Publo" near the Dalet dorms, "Manga" in the Teachers' center, "Gaos" in the Gimel dorms and "Monchila" near the Gimel dorms. Then there are many pubs in the old city, and the most well-known is "Baraka", which also has good concerts and dance evenings. There are more pubs situated on the road to Omer, for example "Chicka", "Izzi Pub" (near the Animal Hospital; Closed on Fridays!!) and the "Omer pub" (in Omer's industrial area). On the other side of the city, in the "Kiryat Yehudit" industrial area one can find the discotheque of Beer Sheva, "The Forum", and its pub – "Factor". There are additional pubs around the same area, for example the "Q", which also used to have a gay night once a week (a long time ago).

Restaurants – well, one doesn't come to Beer Sheva to eat, but there are still a few good options for different budgets. Hummus – there are two new Hummus restaurants not far from the university:  "Humus Hamsa" behind building 90 and "Humus Masbaha" near the Gimel dorms. Falafel – many many many. People might recommend the falafel in Oren center but our recommendation is "Falafel Ha'Kerem" in Schuna (neighborhood) Beit, on Bialik Street. Other good options are "The Green Falafel" in the old city, near the Dutch Street or "Asulin", near the police station. Chinese – in "Heichal Ha'Tarbut" (the cultural center) there is one restaurant which has business deals during most of the day, buffet style. Moroccan – there is an expensive restaurant in the city. Italian – the best restaurant in Beer Sheva is "Rigoletto" in the "BIG" shopping center, there are also "La Piazza" in "Kiryat Ha-Memshala" and "Spagettim" in the "BIG". Gourmet – there are two restaurants on the same street – Smilanski, in the old city, one features a French kitchen, "Achuzat Halperin" and the other specializes mainly in wine, it is called "Chatzer Ha Yayin". Meat – Without a doubt, the best place to have grilled meat  is "Amuna" in the old city. There is also "Sami Ve Susu" in the market, "Shipudey Ezra" near the market, "Shipudey Shufan" near the central bus station and "Shipudy Ha Tikva" in "Kiryat Ha Memshala". Brazilian cuisine/meat – outside of the city. Sandwiches – there are quite a few, but the recommendation of the house is "Saba Gepetto" near the courthouse.

Cinemas – Besides the university's cinema, "Negative", there is one in the "Negev" mall and another one in the "Avia" mall (line 12 from the hospital, on Metzada Street).

Cafés – Most of these can be found in the "BIG" shopping center, the mall, and "Kiryat Ha Memshala". In the old city there is "Pitput", about one block from the mall, "Apropo" near the police station and "Mateh Midbar" near the youth center (which also has massages). There are very good cakes and sandwiches at "Saba Gepetto", which was already recommended under "restaurants". Good coffee and excellent food and atmosphere at "Mona", near the Dalet dorms.

Tourist Sites – there is an Art museum in the old city, the Air Force museum in Hatzerim and Be'er-Avraham (Historical-Archaeological site) also in the old city.
