Coffee lovers, if you’re on the lookout for a new spot to indulge your caffeine addiction, here’s a new place to put on your radar.
We feel like Hamra isn’t getting the love it deserves, especially when it comes to new openings. There’s a new coffee shop in Hamra called Brewrut, rooted in the city’s café culture. You’ll find them just around the corner from the iconic Bissan Library, so you can easily stop by for a coffee break after browsing a huge selection of books.
It’s perfect for people who hate crowded coffee shops and actually want to sit down and get some work done. Since it’s new and tucked away in one of the corners in Hamra, you can easily enjoy some peace and quiet there. And chances are, you won’t be running into anyone you know.
If you’re planning on spending the day to study, work remotely, or even hangout with friends, they have a selection of bites and fresh pastries for you to choose from. You can also pick up one of the books they have displayed if you’re curious, or find a free table to play one of their boardgames when you get bored.
Did you know the art on their walls was actually hand-drawn by local artists? You can actually watch the process of them creating Brewrut’s coffee wall here:
Big coffee shops and popular “concepts” took over Beirut. It’s important to keep an eye out for small openings that you might miss if you’re not looking. The beauty of Beirut’s café culture is that there’s always something new to stumble upon. The best places are always the ones you happen to find on an ordinary afternoon and end up coming back to.
We’re kind of tired of trends and finding out what the city’s hottest spots are right now. If you want to support local, consider skipping familiar chains and stop by a few gems while you stroll through the city.
You can’t be all about rebelling against trends when you don’t support small businesses. Just saying. Make sure to follow them on Instagram for more.
