Beirut
One of Beirut's famous summer-only waterfront clubs, AHM's house DJs and international guests spin soul and pop music you don't usually hear in this city. The feeling of a Mediterranean breeze evaporating the sweat on your brow after a night of dancing is worth the price of admission. Technically the age policy is 21 and older, but most nights skew young.
The venue reverts to the Grand Factory in Karantina in the winter.
