My Favorite place in Hamra and one of the best pubs in Lebanon. I've been a regular for quite sometime now. I even took my soul mate on our first night out there. - Excellent music and doesn't get loud like the other pubs in Hamra (pubs with mixed identities , the burst your eardrum thinking they are a NightClub)...

The best pub in Beirut: great service, very welcoming waiters and definitely the best cocktails you can ever try. I highly recommend Lynchburg lemonade. I am usually not a fan of Jack Daniels or any other kind of whiskey, but you must try this one. Also, the blueberry jam burger is mouthgasmic.

Since it's opening Ferdie has been one of my favorite bars in town. The staff is friendly and remembers your face and your favorite drink. The food is great, specially the mouth-watering burger. And the music is amazing. Head down there in March to taste their fondue during weekdays. So cheesy you'll die of happiness!

This is probably the better option amongst those in Hamra. Drinks arent the best, and they dont have a sophisticated wine list, but if you want a beer or simple G&T, and perhaps a snack right after work, then this would do.

Have always loved Ferdinand's welcoming atmosphere, great food, wonderful cocktails, absolutely amazing music and friendly staff but now that it's non-smoking I can now lay on those comfy couches for hours on end ! And the smokers don't seem to be bothered as there's sufficient space outside to smoke and so close by that no-one notices they're gone and back...... More

The best burger ever!! The place is friendly, comfortable and all-comprehensive. You can go for coffee, drinks, food or just a chat with the formidable bartenders and waiters or with friends.

Ferdinand is one of those places where you can still enjoy a drink which doesn't cost a fortune :) would definitely recommend but ventilation for smoking is absent
