9 Spots in Beirut to Take Your Friend Who’s Going Through a Break Up

Breakups are tough, but the right post-split spot can make all the difference. Here’s your guide to the best places in Beirut to help your friend (or you) power through your break up.

1. If they’re a crier: Crave’s Burger in Mar Mikhael

Tasty burgers aside, have you seen the bathroom there? If you don’t like crying in public, no one is even going to see you cry in the bathroom at Crave’s.

2. If they’re an emotional eater: Munchease Diner in Gemmayze

Did you know they have open wings AND open smashed burgers? This might just be the perfect place to eat your heart out. We definitely recommend sharing their Munchitizer.

3. If they want to cheer up: Pacifico in Achrafieh

This spot is for those who love being around people. If your friend gets their energy from a lively crowd, Pacifico is perfect for them!

4. If they need a confidence boost: Dead End Social in Gemmayze

The place to look good and feel good while enjoying great vibes, refreshing drinks, and a lively crowd. Dead End Social can also be a great place to start conversations with random strangers.

5. If they’re ready to move on: Miss Pepper 3 in Achrafieh

“I’ll have what they’re having” – smooth, original, and foolproof. Miss Pepper 3 is a great place to meet singles in Beirut, so if you’re feeling extra confident, you can try out your best pick-up line.

6. If they need a good distraction: Good Thing in Gemmayze

The bar that feels just right! This is the place to mix and mingle with new people and keep yourself distracted. It’s so easy to make friends and start conversations at Good Thing.

7. If they’re ready to vent: East Village in Badaro & Achrafieh

A calm and cozy spot where you can have a one-on-one with your friend and let them just pour their heart out and get the closure they deserve.

8. If they’re in denial and need a pick-me-up: NOUGi in Achrafieh

You can take your friend to spend the day at this vibrant Achrafieh spot, snap pictures of their beautiful desserts, and pretend like nothing ever happened.

9. But if they refuse to leave the house but STILL need a pick-me-up: Flip Out in Beirut

Spend the day in bed watching your favorite comfort show and devouring the most mouthwatering desserts from Flip Out. They deliver all over Beirut!

9. If they need a friend that will ONLY listen: Orenda in Mar Mikhael

Not only will this pink spot brighten up their mood, but they’re bound to find a cute furry friend who will happily listen to all their problems. And the best part is they won’t talk back as long as you’re giving them belly rubs.
