Iris

Enjoy a 180 degree view of the port and the Mediterranean ocean at Iris’ rooftop bar, open during summer. As an upmarket and classy destination for Beirut’s most glamorous individuals, Iris boasts an impressive cocktail menu and selection of wines that is set to please. Unsurprisingly, these come at a hefty price. From sugar-daddies and golddiggers, to your fashionistas and “bloggers”, you will be judged by the thin, model like doorwomen who will seat you based on your looks.

However, sunset drinks is our favourite. Breath in Beirut’s hot summer air while observing the beautiful sunset and sipping on your favourite cocktail. Reserving in advance is highly recommended, as otherwise, you may be standing awkwardly at the bar.

Live music on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday.
