Country forums / Middle East / Syria

hi guys is there any where to have beer aruond the old city
so l didnt see any where bar etc
thanks

You can find loads of beer near the Bab Sharki, also neareBab Touma in the Christian Quarter; a well sorted liquor store also with beer is near the Hejaz trainstation; when you come down the road from the Sham Palace towards the Hejaz train station, the road on the right side before the main post office-direction Tequije as Sulemanije second or third building on the left hand; Barada is local damascus beer; I`d recommend lebanese al-Maza, which you can also get near BabSharki and around restaurants around Tahrir Place not far from Bab Touma

Cheers

Sailor, you can also try around the Bab Sharqi area, you will find enough watering holes, just go in and ask!

Have a great time in Damascus!

if you are looking around the OMayyad Mosque,you will not find. but going further to the Christian area you will find a lot!
