Situated in one of Badaro's alleyways is Molo, a cafe, restaurant, and pub with very chilled-out vibes. I first discovered Molo in 2021 and have become a frequent visitor since. The staff members always make sure that the visitors feel welcome. The menu includes some local bites and a Lebanese breakfast, but Molo is best known for its pizzas, served on a wooden plank. The menu is also rich with different types and flavors of hot tea, coffee, and signature cocktails, many of which are infused with herbs.
On the outside, Molo boasts a small garden seating, and on the inside, a cozy and dimly-lit interior. Be sure to make a reservation, as it can get crowded on weekends. Whether on a rainy winter night or during a nice afternoon spring breeze, Molo welcomes everyone in with a smile and a taste of local hospitality. If you're coming by in the morning, continue your day by doing one of many close-by activities such as taking a creative class at Creativenass, visiting Lebanon's local museum, or simply getting lost in Badaro's streets!

Very charming in a very simple manner - nothing too extravagant, yet very cozy. I love that Grand Meshmosh is never too loud or too crowded, but just perfect.

One of my favorite places in Hamra is Raseef Beirut, originally a small sidewalk restaurant and pub – hence the name: “Raseef”, which translates to “sidewalk".

On the inside, Beyt is all about the traditional vibes, with an Arabic-style lounge area, a balcony overlooking the street with two small tables that seat two people each, and a gift shop packed with local goods!

I hadn't been to an arcade since I was a teenager, and I only used to play Dance Dance Revenge, but this time, as an adult, I can safely say I had as much fun as a teenage me would have!

The beauty of Ramlet El Bayda lies in its sunsets. Grab a coffee, grab a friend, grab a snack, and be amazed by the colors. You can also catch the same sunset from one of the many coffee shops in Raouche or Manara!
