Why 3al Awwal Needs to Be Your New Go-To Hangout Spot in Beirut
There’s something very nostalgic and light about hanging out with friends in Hamra, especially if it’s one of those long evenings that starts with coffee and somehow turns into dinner and hours of conversation.
If you’re looking for a new spot that might become your go-to, we’re putting 3al Awwal on your radar.
Bringing back old-school Hamra
A newly opened spot in the heart of Hamra, 3al Awwal makes sure you’re enjoying good food and even better company. And they do that with their “phone jail” concept that locks up your phone so you can connect with friends without checking your notifications every 5 minutes.
Without constantly worrying about your phone, you’ll actually notice the cozy, greenhouse-style indoor seating, the sounds of Hamra’s street life from the terrace, and the fact that you’re actually having proper conversations again with friends.
It’s a nod to old-school Hamra culture when people would meet up and discuss anything and everything for hours.
What’s on the menu?
It’s a great spot for coffee runs, quick lunches in between classes, or dinner outings. You’ll find a mix of Lebanese comfort food and international dishes, so there’s something for pretty much every mood.
The menu is made for group outings where everyone orders something different to share.
For the argileh lovers
For the people who can’t live without argileh on a night out, 3al Awwal takes their argileh seriously, offering a selection of flavors. And because they love their regulars, they’ve rolled out a Loyalty Card. Every argileh order gets you a stamp, and once you collect 9, your 10th argileh is on the house.
