Coca-Cola Transforms Tel Aviv Port Into Giant American Diner Experience

Coca-Cola has opened a large-scale pop-up diner at Hangar 11 in Tel Aviv Port, running until Friday, October 2.

The event, which is a scaled-up version of a similar experience from last year, combines special dishes from five leading Israeli chefs, live musical performances, and an environment designed to evoke the classic American diner.

The pop-up is the culmination of "Diner Month," during which over 200 restaurants and businesses nationwide offered special diner-inspired dishes. The Hangar 11 venue has been transformed with red booths, retro elements, and a jukebox, aiming for an amplified diner experience rather than a small replica.

The culinary offerings feature five prominent chefs: Haim Cohen, Moshik Roth, Guy Gamzo, Yarden She, and pastry chef Moran Gil. Each chef has created unique dishes based on American diner classics, incorporating diverse influences from Dixie-style wings and Caesar salad to Asian-inspired teriyaki chicken and gourmet hot dogs.

In addition to the food, a stage hosts a rotating lineup of artists each evening, including Shira Z Small, Liran Danino, Peled, Agam Buhbut, Yasmin Moalem, Ran Danker, and Noam Baton. The event is open to ages 16 and up, with tickets costing 57 shekels, which includes a main dish and a Coca-Cola or Coke Zero. Additional food and drinks can be purchased separately. The venue also includes a Sukkah for the Sukkot holiday, offers kosher food supervised by the Chief Rabbinate ofראשון לציון, and provides vegan and gluten-free options. Sustainable practices are emphasized, with compostable serving ware and recycling machines, and deposit fees will be donated to the Latet organization.
