LucyLu

Nestled in the heart of Gemmayze, Beirut, LucyLu is the kind of bar you’ll hear about through whispers. Behind a vibrant blue threshold tucked inside a small liquor store, the real night begins. Once you slip through, the space transforms — moody lighting, deep wood tones, plush seating, and design touches that balance luxe and mysterious. A striking warrior-rabbit statue watches over the bar, serving as both mascot and sentinel. Cocktails are central here — reinterpretations of classics with house character. The menu is paired with a selection of elevated bites: think marinated salmon, shishito peppers, salads, and snacks meant for sharing. As night deepens, DJs take over, shifting the vibe from lounge to more vibrant, rhythmic territory. LucyLu’s charm lies in its duality: part cocktail bar, part intimate dance floor, part secret hideout. It feels simultaneously exclusive and familiar — a place where you lean in, lower your voice, and savor every detail. The design interplay of dark textures, golden highlights, mirrors, and artistic flourishes reveals itself gradually, rewarding patient explorers. In a city with an ever-evolving nightlife scene, LucyLu stakes its claim as one of the hidden gems. It’s for those who enjoy being in the know, for those who discover through discovery itself.
