Whether you’re a local, or just visiting, you have to give this place a try. Café Younes is somewhat considered the Lebanese Starbucks, with its roastery of freshly grounded coffee at your selection. Furnished with a genuine warm and delightful ambience, as a customer, you will enjoy the stories about the family and Beirut’s history of 75 years. In addition to their breakfast menu brimming with luscious maple syrup-ed up pancakes, bagels, and their signature “Sunny Side-up Eggs”, a coffee is a must-have at Café Younes.

Radio Beirut
Radio Beirut is conveniently placed on Mar Mikhael among numerous bars. Rather than being lost in the mass, it stands out for its cultural activities.
Radio Beirut is the first radio café in the Middle East; a live music venue, cultural centre and online radio station streaming live through the web via **radiobeirut.net **. Over the last few years, Radio Beirut has built up a reputation as one of the most active platforms for local and regional underground music with daily concerts, DJ sets and live radio shows covering a variety of genres from Oriental fusion to jazz, electro-soul, funk, hip-hop, indie, reggae and rock.
On top of the always high-quality music on offer, Radio Beirut is comfortable. It offers a variety of outdoor spaces, with tables on the street, a semi-open and roofed bar space for smokers, as well as the back terrace looking with a view of the court/garden.
It is definitely a place for a good and wild night out, but also during the daytime it provides a chill environment for a quiet chat or work.
Propaganda Gin Room
Propaganda Gin Room welcomes all gin lovers, café dwellers, Beirut locals, and travelling foreigners looking for a new hotspot to enjoy the city beat. Propaganda plays the part of both restaurant café by day and gin bar by night.
The gin room is the first of its kind in Lebanon and one of only three in the Middle East. It also doubles as Caramel Boutique Hotel’s in-house restaurant. Guests and diners can enjoy a decadent breakfast buffet spread, a hearty lunch with colleagues or friends, and a dinner that of course turns into a get-together over drinks.
With food catered to the Lebanese and international palette, a cocktail menu created by globally-renowned and award-winning bartenders, and an atmosphere befitting of Beirut’s busy and lively hustle and bustle, Propaganda Gin Room is all set to be a city staple.
