Lebanese night life is comparable to any cosmopolitan city in the world. The ambiance and the service are all of the highest international standards. The night life is continuously evolving with new places opening and others closing like many the biggest cities of the world. New restaurants of all kinds, pubs, night clubs, piano bars and other casual diversifications are opening everyday, especially in Beirut...

Whatever your fancy is, oriental or western, traditional or eccentric, you can experience it all after dark. The night life starts late along the coasted suburbs of Beirut, Kaslik, Maameltein and Jounieh, in addition to Verdun and Broumana area. Restaurants do not fill up before 9 PM while the night clubs' dancing program begins after midnight.

In fact, the nighlife scene in Lebanon starts pretty late and ends up pretty early. The old Monot Street in Ashrafieh is now illuminated all through the night with the flashing neon signs of the inviting clubs and pubs. For after-dinner drinks, the glamorous crowd aims for Gouraud Street in Gemayzeh, a long and thin street of at least 30 tiny, smoky bars, each seats no more than 20 people.

Moreover, gamblers will find one casino, the "Casino du Liban", which is located near Jounieh, in the north of Beirut. The casino has 365 slots, fifty-seven table games and six restaurants. There is also a showroom, a big theatre and a night club.
