25 Spots All Lebanese 90s Kids Will Remember
Feel like taking a trip down memory lane? Revisit these magical spots.
1. ShowBiz Pizza Place
An arcade area, tons of pizza, and a gorilla playing the keyboards.
2. Fun Time Pizza
The coolest arcade in Dbayeh. We only took breaks to inhale slices of pizza that were often served too hot.
3. Putt Putt Golf & Games
The greatest birthday parties, ever.
4. McMagic
Every kid’s piece of roller coaster heaven.
5. Juicy Burger

Before we had gourmet burgers in Mar Mikhael, we had this burger joint in the Futuroscope building in Sin el Fil.
6. Trocadero
7. Winners
The reverse golden arches on Ghazir highway! Yummy fries that ultimately ended up getting bombed in 2002.
8. Champions
One of the few sports bars in Lebanon, Champions was located in the now shut down Marriott.
9. Splash Mountain
Endless water slides? Check. Overpriced snacks? Check. Risk of serious head injury? CHECK.
10. Planet Hollywood
11. House of Donuts
Remember those massive donuts you got on Tayyouneh roundabout?
12. Banana Zoo
Kaslik kids know what’s up.
13. Broadways
Hazmieh’s hottest spot for birthday parties!
14. Pit Stop
In Zouk Mosbeh.
15. Sundays
Who remembers this ice cream joint in Kaslik?
16. Shrimpy
The OG one on Raouche.
17. Sports Cafe
18. Delight
A “club” where Sami Pharmacy is today, we used to feel so cool at this spot.
19. Al Dewan
This place was more popular for the teens and tweens because of the epic dancefloor that made snot-nose kids feel like they were in a disco.
20. Johnny Rockets
Please note that this is a stock image
Located in Downtown Beirut, this was the go-to spot for burgers and milkshakes.
21. Orange Mechanique
Vague memories of this club in Kaslik.
22. Abraj Arcade
This was THE place to be! (The ski machine was a fave.)
23. Topic Burger
Facing Espace.
24. Shtrumpf
This place lingered around for a while, but it was a staple back in the 90s!
25. La Piazza
The fanciest Italian spot of all time! (This might be from the 2000s.)
