7 Amazing Places To Go Day-Drinking In This Beautiful Weather
Ah, springtime in Lebanon: the sea, the sun, and the fresh cocktails. Forget all your responsibilities for one day and drink the sunshine away at one of the best beaches, bars, restaurants, and other hot spots we have compiled for you. The best part is: most of these places are open by 10 AM!
For a perfect day by the sea, head to Sporting Club for ice cold beers, wine, or arak in the midst of salty air and breezy spaces. Sit on one of the many ledges overlooking the sea, dangle your feet above the water, and enjoy an early taste of summer at Sporting Club.
Day-drinking definitely goes hand in hand with wine tasting! Located on the hills of Batroun, Ixsir will welcome you to its charming winery for a guided tour of its modern wine cellar. You can also try their restaurant “Nicolas Audi à la Maison d’Ixsir” where the food is a twist on traditional Lebanese cuisine.
If you want to escape Beirut’s bustle, head to Le Montagnou in Faraya, where you can sip refreshing cocktails and relax by the infinity pool overlooking a truly spectacular landscape.
Another great spot for day-drinking is Colonel Beer, Batroun’s first eco-friendly microbrewery. You can even go on tours of the brewery and get a taste of all their premium beers, and don’t miss their barbecue events just feet away from the shore.
How about you take a road trip with your friends and discover a haven of serenity in the Bekaa, away from the chaos of Beirut? Tawlet Ammiq is Souk el Tayeb’s second farmers kitchen where you can enjoy fresh local food and sip arak all day long on the terrace overlooking a stunning view of the valley.
Nothing beats spending long sunny days at the beach. A great place to enjoy drinks by the sea is Pierre and Friends’s beach bar located on the South shore of Batroun. Lay back, relax, and enjoy the few weeks left of spring with a glass of whatever you feel like having!
If you can’t make it for a whole day of binge-drinking, you can always catch up with sunset drinks at Internazionale in Mar Mikhael. This open-air hipster lounge welcomes you into a space where you will enjoy the most amazing cocktails in the city.
