Abdel Wahab
Abdel Wahab is a gourmet Lebanese experience year-round. Lebanese food doesn’t come much better than this, and it won’t break the bank. Take your pick from the extensive, mouthwatering menu of mezze, and the grills too are top-quality. Make sure you book.

Al Falamanki has a traditional Lebanese village house décor; from the narguileh garden, backgammon and card players can be seen from every corner. There are few places that provide this ideal combination of a buzzing ambience and good mezze. Its popularity – combined with comfortable tables and cosy couches – means it's packed on most nights.

Kampaï is a bright, well-organized space, set around an open kitchen busy with black-clad chefs.

This is fun, luscious Asian fusion food for grown-ups, by a kitchen that knows what it’s doing.

O1NE
A new feat of engineering, art and clubbing, the O1NE is an indoor winter venue that has been dubbed ‘The Experiment’ by the team driving it. It is a 17-metre-high cylindrical building with the world’s largest privately-owned graffiti wall that envelopes the whole building. The interior has an impressive 360 degrees of projection mapping to screens. And if that doesn’t impress you, then the center catwalk, which doubles as a performance area for artists to strut their stuff on, all boosted by a state-of-the-art sound system, should. (Open winter months only)

Their motto is “We occupy the night; we party hard; we say sanity is overrated”. One of Beirut’s top spots, this indoor club opens during the winter months and is located beneath the outdoor venue White. Attracting a younger crowd, these clubbers dance beneath the LED-lit latticework on the ceiling, and LEDs that adorn the walls, while colored lasers span the room, turning the space incandescent. (Open winter months only)
Tel: +961 3 06 00 90Central Station
A cocktail bar with an international twist reminiscent of a traditional steam train carriage, a long bar runs the length of the back wall. Space may be at a premium in the narrow interior, but an intimate setting makes for a first-class atmosphere. Wrought-iron carriage wheels adorn the ceiling and soft lights illuminate a backdrop of old stone archways behind the bar.

Situated on the rooftop of an office building, Stereo Kitchen’s transparent open plan is designed to cater to fine dining during the week and a more clubbing setup on weekends.

Similarly, the custom-made ceiling creates an unobtrusive system that houses the lighting, climate control and sound systems.
