A collection of rare posters and photographs from the pop culture familiar to the Beirutis of the 70\u2019s hang on a stream of cherry walls bounding the heterogeneous interior. The creators\u2019 heartfelt loyalty to the history of Hamra and its once bustling strip of caf\u00e9s urged them to resurrect the culture of sidewalk caf\u00e9s.
Like the residents, Caf\u00e9 Hamra fuses the local with the international and the rural with the urban in the food it offers, the design elements and the mode of delivery. The menu is predominantly international with commercial favorites prepared to suit the local taste. Graffiti of Beirut\u2019s street scene is dispersed across the outlet. Interior elements of the Lebanese countryside are amalgamated with industrial material harmoniously crossing you over from section to section.
What\u2019s become a local hangout from the moment it opened its doors suits everyone and anyone: fitted with leather couches for the coffee loungers, the striving students and the businesspeople. Dining tables are set up for the hungry patrons looking for a convenient variety and the biggest seated outdoor space in the area nestled in Caf\u00e9 Hamra\u2019s backyard housing the narguileh puffers, backgammon lovers and those yearning for a true al fresco experience.
If you happened to be strolling down memory lane, make sure to make a stop at the new landmark: a destination that will be celebrated as the initiator of the backyard caf\u00e9s movement in Hamra for generations to come. <\/figure><\/figure><\/figure><\/figure><\/figure> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
