Days in Lebanon can get pretty hectic with all the traffic and the everyday routine.
To escape the stresses of a busy life, Lebanese people tend to make the best of their nights. Beirut is full of bars, pubs, restaurants, and clubs that give people the opportunity to lay back, relax, and enjoy their time.
It’s no secret that Lebanese nightlife has an amazing reputation around the world. Especially with parties that go on till the sun comes up.
There’s a reason this reputation exists. Whether you’re Lebanese or a foreigner, whether you enjoy house or R&B, oriental or western music, visiting these 5 places is a must!
#1 Musichall
This venue has a live music stage representing a new and unique concept. Featuring very short live musical acts unveiling talents from around the world in a series of staged eclectic performances.
Musichall hosted many famous international artists like Jane Birkin, Yann Tiersen, and Grand Corps Malade. It offers a series of high-end musical and cultural experiences.
#2 The Gärten by überhaus
The Gärten by überhaus is an outdoor summer venue that hosts world-class house and techno DJs.
Nice architectural setup, open-air feeling, and the city skyline in the background – all while enjoying the nicest electronic music.
Gärten is the perfect place for an after party since the night doesn’t kick off until after midnight. And don’t expect to leave till the sun has already risen!
#3 The Ballroom Blitz
The Ballroom Blitz is a music venue with a robust program of live gigs, DJ sets, and workshops that transition through three rooms.
The venue insists on a thorough hunt for emerging talent both locally and globally, alongside established names from the industry – fostering a collaborative club culture in Beirut.
#4 The Grand Factory
The club is located on the last floor of an old building in an industrial region of Beirut.
It offers various themed nights, such as “The Block Party” on Wednesdays and “Factory Fridays” on Fridays, where you will hit the dance floor under a disco ball, to the sounds of pop, hiphop and RnB music.
In addition to the big dance floor, Factory has two backrooms with a more underground character: The Reunion and Soul Kitchen. Different parties take please simultaneously!
#5 The O1ne/Skybar
Skybar is the summer venue of The O1ne. It’s located on the building’s rooftop. The O1ne and Skybar are close in style but they are definitely different than any other club you’ve been to!
You will never forget the interior 3D mapping nor the amazing lighting on the roof. The O1ne’s building’s walls were painted by 16 international graffiti artists!
Enjoy your night but be sure not to drink and drive! Take a taxi or order a Careem/Uber ride!
