Clubroom

Tucked behind a nondescript entrance on Beirut’s Pasteur Street, Clubroom is a shimmering secret in the city’s nightlife scene — a sanctuary of refined escapism built for those who love mystery, design and intense atmosphere. As you cross its threshold, a narrow corridor cloaked in deep moss-green velvet and mirrored ceilings primes you for what lies ahead — every corner echoes with reflection and anticipation. At the corridor’s end sits a reception station in lacquered rosewood, a hint at the elegance to come. The heart of Clubroom is its bold, sculptural bar of polished black granite, framed by mirror panels to amplify space and light. Surrounding the bar, stools in ochre-bouclé fabric and seating nooks let guests wind through the layout, allowing the energy — from soft murmurs to pulsating beats — to evolve organically. Design flourishes nod to Art Deco: geometric appliqués, structured lighting fixtures, black cornices, textured animal prints and reflective touches throughout. The palette is moody and tactile — deep hues, mirrored surfaces, rosewood, metal, and stone all competing for attention yet blending into a coherent, sensual whole. Though the venue is compact (around 50 people at most), the intimacy is part of its charm: you feel like you’re stepping into someone’s private, well-curated space rather than a generic club. The acoustic treatment — a mix of mirrored and textured surfaces — helps moderate sound so conversation and music can coexist. Musically, Clubroom eases in gently in early hours — lounge, ambient, low-key — before the pulse intensifies toward the later night. On the menu: creative cocktails (including inventive twists on Prohibition-era drinks), and a food selection that draws from Mediterranean and Asian influences — small plates and sharable bites designed to match the drinks ethos.
