Al-Sahel
This upstairs coffeehouse is close to Bab al-Faraj and the clock tower. The place is grungy (in an old Aleppan sort of way) and the entrance is in the side street, through the reception of the Al-Sahel Hotel.

Al-Shams
On the corner of the big main square, this men's coffee shop is a popular haunt of Aleppo's chess players.
-
Arabica
In Al-Aziziah, Syria's Starbucks does delicious iced lattés as well as providing a fascinating slice of life that you won't experience in the Old City, especially after , when the music goes up a few notches and Aleppo's shebab (youth) spill out on to the footpath. The café offers free wireless internet and if you don't have your own laptop they'll even lend you one.

Baron Hotel
Aleppo is Al-Chark territory, which is the less appealing of Syria's two local brews, and there's not exactly a wealth of venues in which to drink it. The atmospheric interior bar or the front terrace at the Baron Hotel is a must, at least once.

Museum Café
Male travellers will enjoy this simple coffeehouse in the city centre, but it's men-only so women will feel uncomfortable.
-
T-Square
This funky contemporary café-eatery next door to Arabica is where Aleppo's hipsters hang out. It's a great place for meeting locals and people-watching. Like Arabica, the place buzzes in the evenings, when the tables are jammed and it's standing-room only on the pavement.
