Since I was a kid, I first tried mexican food in Pacifico. And it's been a tradition since then to go there once a year for their delicious fajitas first, and for other delicious plates too, like Hamburguese, their salads, their quesadillas, their burritos. Everything you eat there is just perfect. And don't forget their amazing margaritas! I strongly recommend... More

This is one of the oldest places to go out to in Beirut. The fact that it has lasted this long in a very competitive Lebanese market says it all. I always enjoy it

All things considered, this place has been home to generation after generation, and it is honestly the only bar you could truly call the 'Cheers' of Beirut city. Strangers become friends and even family. The service is superb, their mojitos are legendary, and the place is always fun. A true institution unlike any other in Beirut.

It offers a great vibrant experience, not cheap though. Very good to start your night with. Booking is essential if you are planning to dine there, and if you find a place by the bar then you are lucky

This is the grand daddy of pubs/restaurants on Monot Street. It opened just after the war (circa 1993) while all around it were ruins. In fact we used to walk through war torn buildings to get to it. And today it remains an institution. You cannot visit Beirut nightlife and not make a stop at Pacifico. The ambience is typically... More

We ordered this biiiiig starters with a bit of everything with some beer that was the best way to start the night. Main dish ok, ended dinner with... More

Just got back from dinner at Pacifico and I came away satisfied but not over impressed. On the plus side, the first things you notice in places like this are the decor and service and both of these items are first rate. You really do feel that you're in a Mexican cantina. Another plus is that the food is very... More
