Out in Gemmayze, Beirut

First night out, we went to an area called Gemmayze in Beirut. It's a busy area with narrow streets and little bars and restaurants everywhere. Beirut at night is hot and humid and the nightlife is booming. All these places were filled with people drinking, talking, and having fun. 

The first place we went to was very crowded, but we managed to get seats around a table around a tree on the patio. After a few more people made it to the table, it didn't fit us anymore, so we went to another bar that was fairly empty, but which we managed to fill almost half-way with our group. That bar played good old Bon Jovi songs and other sing-along tunes.
