Level Up: A Gamer’s Guide To 6 Cool Places In Beirut

It’s a miracle when a gamer is seen out in the wild (as in, outside the house), so if they’re putting the effort to actually mix and mingle with people, they might as well head to these 6 cool places in Beirut.

1. Blue Sky Gaming, Chiyah

From the gaming console at home to this one in Chiyah…but at least you left the house, right? This lounge and cafe is every gamer’s dream—dimly lit and fully equipped for a boatload of fun (and raging). With Playstation and PC gaming available, you can stop by any time between 2pm and 2am for only $2/hour.

2. TheBoardRoom, Mar Mikhael

If you and your friends are looking for a laidback hangout spot, then TheBoardRoom will be that and more. Go for a few playful rounds of “Le3beh 3a krouteh” or Jenga, munch on some snacks, and forget the outside world at this colorful spot!

3. Chubbies, Jnah

You’ll need to fuel up after a full day of gaming, or if you’ve been out and about, we’re sure you’re hungry by now. Chubbies is the ultimate spot for messy comfort food, enough to fuel you up and get you through the rest of your day. How about a double smashed cheeseburger?

4. Giftmania, Bliss

The shop we all know and love, Giftmania is like gamer heaven. Filled with the coolest figurines, Funko Pops, keychains, and other merch, you won’t be able to resist the urge to grow your collection at home. You will also find some rare collectibles that you won’t find anywhere else!

5. Multiverse, Hamra

This Hamra gem is always on our mind every time we’re out and about in Beirut. You can never go wrong with grabbing your friends and heading over to Multiverse so you can play board games from day to night. And we’re sure you’ll be coming again that same week.

6. B Hive, Hamra

Yet another cool hangout spot for you to visit with your friends, B Hive is a coffee shop and co-working space. Though you can’t exactly touch some grass, you can make new friends and have conversations with people instead of on a Discord server (but you can also join B Hive‘s Discord server for a discount!).
