Whether you’re looking to enjoy some oud, feast on mezza, grab a quick shawarma, or belly dance the night away… 7 Management has just the place for you.
The leading F&B and nightlife company was founded by a group of young entrepreneurs who joined forces and merged the experiences they have from their different backgrounds. Under the leadership of Rabih Fakhreddine, a successful entrepreneur and visionary businessman, the company soon grew into an empire, launching some of our favorite oriental spots in town.
Stepping into Sayf, you won’t know what hit you. The eclectic interior will make you feel like you just walked into the Mad Hatter’s tea party (seriously, just look at the upside down table hanging above your head), the music will have you dancing like no one’s watching, and their delectable bites and refreshing drinks will keep you satiated and energized all night long.
One of our favorite summer party venues in Beirut, Sayf is a go-to for oriental lovers. The tarabeesh, the hip scarves, the zaffe band, and so much more, you know where to find us every night this summer.
Nothing screams oriental like Latifa Bar. The Dbayeh gem has the whole package, belly dancer and all. But wait, who’s Latifa?
A free spirit, a traveler, and a life-lover, Latifa captivates whoever crosses her path. But as soon as you try to grasp her, she slips through your fingers as she dances onto her next adventure, leaving you with mere memories. She leaps among the shadows, with only her luminous eyes and fiery soul revealing her movements. She is timeless, ageless, anchor-less. She came to Lebanon once too, and left her mark. Intrigued yet? Get to meet her at Latifa Bar, a sanctuary for all the free spirits of the world.
Loud and vibrant, Antika Bar is the perfect spot for Arabic music lovers. The setting, the ambiance, the colors, and the lanterns altogether create an authentic Arab oriental feel, complemented with the live shows and performances they host. The outdoor lounge will even keep your thirst quenched with their refreshing drinks and your taste buds tingling with their appetizing raw bar and robata grill.
Once you’ve had your share of Antika Bar, don’t go home just yet. In fact, we suggest you make your way to Raii, 7 Management’s latest after-party destination. Located where the infamous February 30 stood, Raii is a beacon of oriental entertainment in a city thriving with a cosmopolitan nightlife scene. Introducing itself as your new clubbing destination in the heart of Beirut Waterfront, Raii is sure to offer a wild and entertaining night to its crowd, courtesy of its one-man shows and live musical performances.
In the mood for some oud while you have the most delicious Lebanese plates? Kahwet Beirut, located in Beirut Waterfront, will deliver just that – and a tarboush hat on top of it. With an authentic setting and the most hospitable staff, you will be presented with a range of cuisine delights that vary from mashewe to burgers to daily homey platters – all that can be enjoyed amidst the finest oriental tunes and ambiance.
When faced with the option to “go big or go home”, this local snack decided to GO BIG, even in name. Located in Mar Mikhael, Super Snack El Kbeer has WOW-ed us with their versatile menu of local oriental delicacies, ranging from wraps and kaak to burgers and shawarma.
Our personal favorite order is their Lebanese burger – a traditional and homespun oriental twist on the classic beef burger. Soft bun, a juicy patty, homemade coleslaw, a handful of crunchy fries and a drizzle of ketchup… this delicacy is a must-try.
And we know that that’s not all, because we have a feeling that 7Management will continue to surprise us and bring forth venues that bring the ultimate oriental spirit to Lebanon. Can’t wait to see what they’re up to next!
