No Plans This Weekend? Check Out These New Spots in Beirut
If you want to discover new spots in Beirut this weekend, here are a few you can add to your rotation. Make sure to share this with your friends!
1. PADAM, Downtown Beirut
PADAM is the latest addition to Downtown Beirut, opening on the ground floor of Le Gray Hotel under the culinary direction of Michelin-starred chef Alain Geaam. It’s an all-in-one destination: a coffee shop, pastry counter, cigar lounge, restaurant, bar, and a breezy sidewalk terrace ideal for slow mornings or late nights.
Open daily from 8 AM until late, PADAM covers every craving with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The space blends several moods in one layout, offering a central hangout that feels both spacious and refined.
The menu leans international, with everything from salads and soups to pastas, grills, and desserts.
2. TIME ETC., Achrafieh
Taking over where The Grasshopper once was, TIME ETC. is Beirut’s newest experimental cocktail bar. The dimly lit terrace sets the tone for a laid-back night out, making it an easy pick for after-work drinks, weekend meetups, or a quiet escape with good company.
The concept leans heavily into creative mixology, with cocktails that focus on technique, flavor play, and a bit of mystery. While details are still under wraps, the bar pairs its drinks with a small selection of nibbles, keeping the experience light and informal.
If you’re looking for a chill terrace, a moody ambiance, and something new to sip on, TIME ETC. is one to add to your Beirut bar rotation.
3. Wisp, Saifi
Wisp is the newest neighborhood coffee shop to land in Saifi, offering a warm, minimalist space where you can grab your daily caffeine fix and enjoy fresh bakes straight out of the oven.
It’s the kind of place that keeps things simple. Good coffee, yummy pastries, and a calm atmosphere that works for a quick fix. If you’re wandering around Saifi and craving something freshly brewed, Wisp is an easy new go-to.
