Tota

Beirut


Exposed brick, antique velveteen furniture, shiny leather barstools and traditionally patterned Lebanese tiles all reflected in a mirror on the ceiling: the visual textures are strong at Tota. Everything looks even nicer in the evenings, when Beirutis drink herb-infused cocktails and dance in the cute back patio.
