Going out in Beirut

Hi there,

Which are your 10 favorite places to go out in Beirut?

Which places would you recommend to newcomers? (restaurants, pubs, discos, theaters, cinemas, concert halls...)

Thanks!

hey
I am a new one in Beiruth but dont even know the best place to have fun.Someone can maybe help?

1- The GM!!! (aka Gemayze): over 140 bars and pubs, a few dancing clubs too, with quite a few expats and tourists (relatively speaking).

2- Hooligans. In old jounieh, my hangout joint! small pub, chill place to be

3- Old town Byblos. an array of open air bars and restaurants (may be closed in winter - not sure)

hi all,
the "happening" places in beirut are:
- Hamra area: theres a whole strip of pubs and restaurants that caters for all tastes and all age brackets
- Gemmayze area: same as hamra
Rooftops:
Iris / downtown an nahar building
Capitole / downtown osaily building

enjoy!

Thank you wkei! ;)
