Practical information : Take a break Beirut

Timetable

While most bars open in the late afternoon (sometimes with a happy hour), the party doesn't usually start until around 10pm. From 11pm to closing time (between 2am and 4am), the most popular bars fill up. Then, from Wednesday to Saturday, it's the clubs' turn to attract night owls until the first light of dawn.

Budget & Tips

Partying in Beirut is relatively expensive. The prices of alcoholic beverages are roughly similar to the major European capitals. Count $3 to $5 for a local beer, $7 to $15 for a cocktail. For wine lovers, Lebanese vineyards offer quality products at reasonable prices. As for those who don't drink alcohol, coffee is a real tradition in Lebanon and costs only between $1 and $4 depending on the standing of the establishment.

Age restrictions

To order alcohol in Lebanon, you must be at least 18 years old. It is not uncommon for bars and restaurants to ask for identification to confirm your age. Police raids to verify that the law is being enforced are frequent.

What's very local

In Beirut, the aperitif is as sacred as in France but blends with the tradition of the mezze. Before ordering more substantial dishes, it is normal to drink a few glasses of arak or beer to accompany some snacks. It is also the occasion to play backgammon.

Kids

While the restaurants welcome children with pleasure, the bars and clubs in the capital are generally not open to them.

Smokers

The vast majority of the capital's bars and clubs are smoking, with no spaces that are given over to cigarette or hookah enthusiasts. A few rare establishments still offer non-smoking rooms.

Tourist traps

Beirut's bars generally attract a regular clientele and therefore do not try to rip off the passing tourist. But still remember to check the bill before paying.
