Be Lapaz

Be Lapaz is a drinks-led pub in the Old Souk of Byblos, Lebanon. Its menu is built around beer, spirits, cocktails, wine and shots, giving the venue a straightforward pub format suited to casual drinking and social gatherings. The setting places it among the old-town streets and businesses of Byblos, making it a natural stop during an evening in the historic souk area.

Beer options include local beer alongside familiar international labels such as Corona and Heineken. The bar also serves beer-based mixed drinks, including a submarine-style option, with an added Mexican beer variation listed on the menu. For groups, pitchers are available in flavours such as gin and basil, passion fruit and margarita, alongside premium pitcher choices.

The spirits selection covers whiskey, vodka, gin, tequila, rum and cognac. Whiskey ranges from accessible blends and bourbon to single malts and older expressions, while the vodka list includes labels such as Russian Standard, Stolichnaya, Ketel One, Grey Goose, Belvedere and Cîroc. Gin, tequila and rum selections offer several well-known brands, with premium choices available across the categories.

Cocktail options include classic serves such as the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Godfather, dry martini and several styles of Martini. The menu also includes a passion fruit martini, margaritas and other mixed drinks. A dedicated shot list adds options based on vodka, gin, whiskey, tequila, sambuca, Jägermeister and absinthe, ranging from simple pours to more playful combinations.

Wine and sparkling wine are also part of the offering, with red, white and rosé-style choices, sangria, Prosecco and Champagne. Bottle service extends across many of the spirits and sparkling selections. This range makes Be Lapaz suitable for guests looking for a beer, a cocktail, a shared pitcher or a longer drinks session centred on spirits.

The venue fits visitors seeking a pub rather than a dining-led restaurant. It can work for small gatherings, drinks before or after exploring Byblos, and groups interested in sharing pitchers or ordering from a broad drinks list. Visitors coming from Beirut can reach it as part of a Byblos outing, while the Old Souk location keeps the bar connected to the town's evening activity.
