Good Thing: A Bar That Feels Just Right

Nestled under the glow of its unassuming neon sign, Beirut’s Good Thing is the kind of spot that feels made for both introspection and celebration. Conceptualized with a shared vision, co-owner Omar Jheir has brought his expertise to create a space that feels uniquely timeless. It’s the perfect mix of low-key and high-quality — a haven for solo drinkers and groups alike. Designed by Jules Bakhos, the interior at Good Thing seamlessly combines modern elegance with nostalgic touches, featuring neon glass, LED neon, and indirect fixtures to create a warm, inviting ambiance

The bar’s upscale offerings are both delightful and unpretentious. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic Negroni or something experimental, Alexay Haidar’s drinks menu offers a cocktail for every taste. Pair your cocktail with something from the small-but-mighty food menu: a buttery lobster roll or a perfectly crisp katsu sandwich. These aren’t just bar snacks — they’re a reason to linger. Each dish on the menu is crafted under the guidance of chef Hadi Hazim, blending bold flavors with refined presentation.

Good Thing’s charm lies in its ability to feel intimate without being exclusive. It’s as welcoming for a quiet nightcap as it is for a lively gathering, and its thoughtful design and menu reflect a commitment to creating a space that’s as enjoyable as it is memorable.

If good things truly come to those who wait, this bar proves they’re also well worth the visit.
