With the month of June just starting, you definitely know what that means! Longer days, colder drinks, suntanned skin, and salty summer hair! Our nights become even more enjoyable, and heading up to rooftops is the way to go to enjoy at best our summer nights. That’s, at least, what we do in the capital during summer, socializing on rooftop lounges with great views, delicious drinks, nice breeze, and delightful ambiance. So, we compiled for you some of Beirut’s best rooftops places that offer exactly that.
