Union Marks is a hidden gem in Burj Hammoud. If I could describe this place in just two words, it would be magical and whimsical. Honestly, going there felt like I had traveled out of reality for a couple of hours and came back. Entering it felt to me as if I had just entered a movie set - every corner is a space to be discovered; just walk around and you’ll find hidden objects and posters that each tell a story.
The drinks are amazing and the food is delicious. If you enjoy peanut butter-based dips then I’d recommend you try their baked potatoes.
So, if you’re in Beirut and you're a fan of artistic, wooded, green areas like myself, then don’t waste time, grab a friend or a furry friend (since it is pet friendly), put on your best outfit cause honestly the place is picture-worthy, and go enjoy a calm night out!
