  1. Back Door

    Popular spots for DJs and live bands on weekends, and films midweek, include Back Door.

    Marmar

    Tucked down a tiny passageway signed by a pink neon calligraphic squiggle, this pub is one of Damascus' best for DJs and live music. On weekends it pounds and heaves with a sweaty, young, bohemian crowd of locals and foreigners, while midweek sees the occasional film screened on its walls.
