We had only really tasted the bar scene during our first month in Beirut, and were excited when we heard that Josh Wink would play one of the major nightclubs. Finally an opportunity to hit the dance floor proper! We arrived at 3 am without a reservation, and although the place was pretty packed the bouncers decided to have mercy... More

I have been there with local friends who have strongly recommended this place. So, I was very excite to see the place. It has a unique architecture, with a semi-convertible ceiling-roof. But this is it. There is nothing further interesting about this place. Overcrowded, cheesy music, cigarette smoke and packed with men, few ladies inside... Rude bouncers who do not... More

The DJ was decent, but the bouncers gave us a hard time entering, the place is full of smoke, drinks are super expensive, and there aren't as many girls as you might expect. For the Middle East its quite a scene, but by world standards nothing special. More

A place to visit minimum once in your life. The decoration is so special. It has been known by it's roof. E opening metallic roof, with the glass that reflects the sunrise and the cars on the highway. Najy gebran's musicotherapy takes you on another planet More

Quirky club which plays progressive house until the early hours of the mmorning. The club is fairly empty until around 2.15 - 2.30 am which is when the roof will open up and the dancing begins. Music can become a bit monotomous but the general energetic vibe will carry you through until the sun comes up. More

excellent club, and the place to go at 3:00 to 4:00 AM and the "people on xtc" who frequent it won't bother you.The opening roof is fabulous, the music is fantastic, it makes you feel alive. You haven't experienced beirut if you don't go. More
