Junkyard (CLOSED)

From the outside you might think Junkyard is constructed entirely out of shipping containers. You'd be wrong – well, half-wrong. Shipping containers are only a part of it. The highly eccentric interior decoration consists of everything from old car parts to sheets of scrap metal, making for one of the most brazen themes on Beirut's bar scene. There's an environmental thrust behind this preference for recycled material, but if you find all those car bumpers and whatnot a tad intimidating you can repair to the spacious outdoor area, which comes into its own in the summer. Not that this means you can turn up in shorts and flip-flops – the women with the clipboard on the door won’t take kindly to you.
