Lennon: Everyone’s Go-To Bar In Badaro

Imagine all the people, imagine all your friends gathered around drinking and joking around. Aside from The Beatles’ intended pun, that’s exactly what Lennon stands for. This Badaro bar has grown to become everyone’s go-to neighborhood spot. So, if John Lennon were still alive and visiting Beirut, he would pretty much drag Yoko and Paul there for drinks and, who knows, maybe even a secret performance.


Nestled in a quaint corner away from Badaro’s buzzing main street, the first thing you’ll come face to face with is a glowing “Give Peace A Chance” insignia. Lennon oozes all the hippie vibes that will comfort and consume, which makes it ideal to unwind during the day or at night.


Splattered with vibrant colors, Lennon’s colorful drinks and decor will instantly catch our eye. We’re still not over their Highway to Hell cocktail, a heavenly mix of Massaya arak and passion fruit juice. Also, we were definitely Gone With The Gin as soon as we took a sip of their delicious Tanqueray gin and blackberry cocktail.


Oh, and don’t think twice about ordering up a second or third drink because you’ll be saving major bucks with their exclusive Zomato Gold membership.


For all the grumbling stomachs, you’ll never go wrong with their mouth-watering dip, a decadent mix of brie cheese, honey, and nuts. Another dish that will comfort your cravings is Lennon’s cheese-filled mushrooms; the emmental and goat cheese pairing will not let you down (pun very much intended).


And it’s not just about drinks and eats, you can also grab a board game and challenge your friends to a game of Jenga! Loser has to cover the next round of shots!


Complete with happy hour deals, a friendly staff, and an ideal location, Lennon boasts a warm and peaceful overall vibe that will keep you coming back for more on the daily.
