Anise

Beirut


This is the place to come if you are interested in getting to know arrack, the aniseed-flavoured Lebanese spirit. An unobtrusive clutch of cleanskin bottles behind the bar holds a range of smooth and flavoursome craft-distilled offerings from around the country; the bar staff will guide you. They also do cocktails, with herby sensations like sage margarita recommendable. It's happy hour until 9pm.
