Damascus / Nightlife


 

[open] 24 hours a day, serving good value European style food, bottled beer and a range of shorts, Algora is one of the only places in Damascus where you’ll find big screen football on for important matches.

 

[open] for some 80 years, this no-nonsense hole-in-the-wall affair is easily missed but well worth a visit. Crates of beer stacked under Formica tables, a cantankerous clientele and fresh rounds of nuts and carrots regularly distributed by the owner give the place its unique speakeasy atmosphere.

 

A British-style drinking den with the befuddled air of the end of empire and a fine range of shorts on offer.

 

An upper-class clientele, up-to-the-minute hits, superior acoustics and watch out for the Dali-esque decor and the glass floor with goldfish swimming underneath.

 

Set in a beautifully restored house, this is the place for Thursday night revelries. Entry is £6, which includes three drinks. DJs spin a mix of Western hip-hop and Arabic pop.
