1. Steampunk Coffee House

At Steampunk, you’ll be taking a step back in time to the age of steam-powered machinery while enjoying all the luxuries of modern life. From finely crafted coffee to delectable pastries, and all the cogs and gears one could ever need to complete the steampunk deco, this spot is the engine that will help refuel ahead of a busy schedule or after a tiring day at the office.

Bringing you the finest brews and screws in town, this spot is great for catching up with friends, a casual meeting, or when you need some alone time. With a wide range of specially brewed coffees available to choose from, you’ll definitely find something you like among their steamers and boilers.

Whether you’re looking for a aromatic cup of coffee or some food to take you through the day, Steampunk has you covered just like steam came to cover the lands of Industrial England.

As a treat, you can even enjoy 30% off all pastries after 7 PM every day—our kind of happy hour. So, next time you’re looking for a new place to hang out, you should pay Steampunk Coffee House a visit.

2. Swing Beirut

The Beirut Swing dance community is bringing back lively jazz nights with weekly swing dancing nights. Their motto is inspired by the famous Duke Ellington: “it don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that swing!”

Every Monday, Beirut Swing hosts Swing dancing nights at Aaliya’s Books. Starting 8:30pm, the literary bar and café turns into a busy dancefloor with smiling swingers. If you’re interested in taking part in Swing nights, give them a call on 01 566 375 or 81 245 162. You can also stay updated on their Instagram!

3. The Crypt Museum

Below Beirut’s Saint George Orthodox Cathedral, layers of Lebanon’s history lay inside its hidden Crypt Museum. For a 100,000 L.L. entrance fee, you can dig through centuries of history.

Right in the heart of Downtown Beirut, the Crypt Museum has artifacts from every power that has been here. Whether you want to find ancient pots, pipes, or crosses, you’ll be amazed at the troves of history just sitting there, so make sure to make a stop next time you’re in the area.
