This is a great place if you want to be surprised at how much the Arab youth have assimilated western culture. If you close your eyes, and listen only to the music, you can picture yourself at any old club in North America. I went on a Friday night, and this place was jam-packed. While I normally enjoy a busy club, this was simply ridiculous. The way most of the clubs in Lebanon work is that you have to know someone who has made a reservation, say his/her name at the door, then you get in. Otherwise, you will be turned away (unless you happen to be escorting a crowd of attractive girls). After 1:00 most places tend to let more people in, but even that is never a sure bet here. But man, the Lebanese love to party. This is a great place to check out a crowd of 18-23 year olds looking their best.
