Hands down the best shisha in Beirut

Pull up a chair on the terrace or by the window, order a head and stay a while. Shisha is prepared fresh for your table, with the coals kept going all night. Pair it with a specialty coffee, a pot of tea, a fresh juice or something sweet. Open until 3 AM.

We're alcohol-free, so bring everyone.
