B-Hive Beirut

Co-working cafe

Rayan from Beirut

""B-Hive" in Beirut is a new favorite spot for students, freelancers and professionals. I like that there are many levels and you can also sell your books!"

This is a new favourite spot for students, freelancers and professionals in the heart of Hamra. The concept of B-Hive is to encourage productivity through more social interactions. The customers working at B-Hive are known as the "bees" because they're all buzzing on their laptops or discussing with one another.

Some people have come as tutors to help others have business meetings and of course social hangouts.

B-Hive is not only a cafe and co-working space, but also a spot where there are almost weekly events happening ranging from art to poetry to dating, meeting and greeting, to filming movies to workshops.

You can also sell your books in their book stand as well as play the different board games with your friends.

Also, underneath the cafe, there is a space for workshops, Skype meetings and above it there is a library full of books.

In conclusion, B-Hive is a lovely cosy spot for anyone to come work and make new friends!
