Skybar

Preferring to remain conspicuous in favour of the clandestine climes of some backstreet venues, Beirut's Skybar is the opulent clubbing gem of the Middle East, a towering inferno of popping fireworks at the summit of a Lebanese skyscraper.

Opening in 2003 at the top of the Palm Beach Hotel and since moving to BIEL (Beirut International Exhibition & Leisure Centre), the outdoor venue wears its glitzy garms with pride, its lavish interior and decadent pyrotechnics as gigantic as the names taking to the stage each night. Estelle, Busta Rhymes and Taio Cruz played during 2011, before Tinie Tempa closed its four-month season in November, so you get the picture.
