Cheap and cheerful Coop has been a mainstay on the Gemmayzeh drinking scene since it opened in 2011. Hike up the stairs to the roof of Saifi complex, and you’ll be rewarded with the rather chic juxtaposition of unlovely urban sprawl and snow-capped mountains beyond. Sunset is a good time to visit -- for the light on the Mediterranean and the happy hour specials.
