6 Beirut Pubs Where You Can Actually Hear Yourself Having A Conversation

If you don’t enjoy screaming WHAT? three times in a row before fake laughing and nodding because you didn’t hear what the other person said, here are some quiet(er) and calm(er) pubs to check out.

1. The Jerry Thomas Experience


Named after the father of American mixology, Jeremiah “Jerry” Thomas, this cocktail joint is a perfect spot for drinks and conversation. Try their dry gin martini!


2. Kayan


This spot is somewhat of a dive with affordable drinks and music that won’t burst your eardrums.


3. Coop D’Etat


Come for the spectacular sunset view, stay for the calm and chill vibes.


4. Dragonfly


Dragonfly’s exceptional drinks and chill atmosphere makes it ideal for a fun night out sans headache. Dimly lit, it’s a great place to sit and unwind on a weekday. Note that it can get a little louder during late hours on weekends, but in general remains much calmer than others.


5. Troika


With tons of vegan and vegetarian food options, this quaint Badaro spot has all the makings for a chill night out.


6. El Paseo


A tapas bar with a Lebanese twist, El Paseo serves up sangrias and delectable bites all in a relatively calm setting.
