 Tahiti NightlifeBeirut has a well-earned reputation for being something of a
party city - and night-owls will have no problem in getting their
late-night kicks in Lebanon''s capital city. The consumption of
alcohol is commonplace in Beirut, and there are no curfews imposed
on downtown establishments - so parties tend to go on till the
break of dawn, at least. There are a lot of bars and clubs in
Beirut, and the ''scene'' changes quite often - but generally, if
you''re looking for a good time, head down to Gemmayze or Monot
Street. Two currently-trendy clubs are SkyBar (which overlooks the
Mediterranean Sea) and BO18, where revellers dance the night away
in an abandoned bomb shelter, adorned with baroque d?©cor. One thing
to bear in mind: when Lebanese locals go out, they make sure they
look good - don''t turn up to a club in your backpacker gear and
expect to be allowed in. |
