Club entertainment in Beirut

  1. A

    B 018

    This venerable club is easily the most famous in town. Known for its particular décor as much as its music, it's situated underground in a car park a couple of kilometres east of Downtown. With its mock-horror baroque interior, complete with coffins for seats, B 018 is certainly memorable. Those suffering from claustrophobia needn't worry - the roof is always opened at some stage during the night.

    Its liberal reputation means that gays and lesbians will feel comfortable here. To get there, ask a taxi driver for the club or for the Forum de Beyrouth.

    Cassino

    For something other than house, techno or commercial classics, head to Cassino, where the music's Arabic pop and, at least for part of the night, live. It's champagne and cigars all the way, so dress to the nines and book a table in advance if you want to make sure you'll make it past the doormen.
