6 Chill Places In Beirut To Grab A Drink On The First Date
Sometimes a dinner or lunch is just too overwhelming for a first date, and we all need that tiny alcohol boost to be our best selves. Here’s a list of chill and quiet places where you can get to know each other over a conversation while you sip on your (or our) favorite drink:
Ferdinand
Decorated in a warm and friendly atmosphere, Ferdinand is located on Mahatma Ghandi street in Hamra. The food is very delicious (order the animal style fries), their old fashioned drink is one of our favorites, and the large leather couches are so comfortable that your first-date talks will flow quite effortlessly.
The Attic Bar
Modeled after the old man’s mysterious attic, invite your date to this secret spot in Badaro to have a cozy and quiet date getting to know each other. Be sure to try the old man’s whiskey recipe!
Molo
Immerse yourself in each other on the lovely terrace this low-key Badaro spot has, and when your date asks you, “what’s good here?”, order two Molo’s Mardakoush drinks and thank us later!
Kalei
Best visited during day, this location is the definition of a hidden gem. You’ll stumble upon it as you descend the Mar Mikhael stairs. Order beers, their herb-infused popcorn, and chat up your charming date in the equally charming setting.
Cafe de Penelope
Get transported to a quaint cafe in Paris, while you chill on Kfoury street in Badaro. Order the heavenly Brie truffle sandwich followed by a glass of your favorite local wine, and ask to be seated on their waterproof terrace.
L’Appartement
Dim lighting, intimate ambiance, and you’ll feel like you never left your living room. From the list of over 20 types of local and international wine, we recommend the Frontera wine from Chile. You can also play a board game to break the ice a little! But if you’re a sore loser, we strongly suggest you stay away from the games – nothing ruins a first date like a huge ego.
