One of the great draws for this bar at the top of Le Gray hotel – open from October to April each year, before Cherry on the Rooftop opens in spring – is the 360-degree views over Beirut, with the dramatic mountains and sea beyond; after all, what would you expect from a venue named Bar ThreeSixty? Indeed, there are few places in the city that afford views as good as these, no less while kicking back with an expertly mixed martini and while listening to a selection of chilled out tunes.

If you’re more of a fan of house beats, just stick around; the DJ kicks the music up as evening becomes night. And the ambient lighting only enhances the party atmosphere, enticing you to hit the dance floor. For those whose idea of a great night out includes first-rate food, there’s a mouthwatering menu of light bites and mains to tuck into. Wash it all down with one of the signature Le Gray cocktails (the Champagne cocktail is a must) and you’re sure to have a night to remember.
