Liza Restaurant Closed After Nude NYE Video Spreads Online

Lebanese authorities have reportedly ordered the closure of the Beirut restaurant Liza, located in Achrafieh, following an incident that took place during their New Year’s Eve event that was later widely circulated on social media.

The decision was issued after videos emerged showing a person dancing nude inside the restaurant during the celebration. According to the authorities, the incident was deemed to be in violation of Lebanese laws and regulations related to public morals and performances visible to the public, prompting a closure of the venue.

The footage, which went viral shortly after the event, shows an individual completely naked while dancing in front of guests, many of whom were filming the scene. It was this public visibility, rather than the event itself, that appears to have triggered the rapid response.

Some media reports have cited sources claiming that the individual involved was not part of the restaurant’s entertainment program or staff, but rather a guest attending the evening. According to these accounts, the episode was unplanned and unfolded spontaneously during the night. These details, however, have not been officially confirmed by any of the parties.

The legal grounds cited in such decisions often rely on broadly defined concepts such as “public morals” and “decency,” which allow authorities to act quickly. Questions regarding oversight, security protocols, and real-time intervention typically follow after the initial measure has been taken.
