Beirut / Nightlife


 

Located in the popular party street next to the designer haunts, this bar on two levels is themed on the Lebanese civil war. Seating is basic and the drinks are straightforward but it is worth exploring

 

Beirut’s only mixed-gay club [open]s just on the weekend and goes crazy with hard house and techno music all night long presided over by the DJ and a huge statue of Indian goddess Shiva above the long bar.

 

Beirut’s newest club venue, the Basement, does a great business in the pre-BO18 clubbers and features underground dance music for an up for it crowd. Drinks are pricey though and door policy strict, which tends to mean go with a girl.

 

World famous crypt-like nightclub BO18 is a debauched and decadent club, which gets packed with people around 2 a.m. and is fairly empty before hand. For the hardcore of Beirut’s clubbing fraternity the music is techno and tribal house and its most famous feature is roof which [open]s and closes leaving partiers dancing under the stars.

 

Beirut’s version of the famous Parisian nightclub is exactly the same but bigger featuring a massive golden Buddha overlooking all. Very trendy with an Asian fusion cuisine restaurant on the ground floor and an oh so cool bar overlooking it from above, this is a place to party.
