The Cask & Barrel’s newest branch in Beirut’s Sassine Square lies at the intersection of passion, education and selection: a truly multisensory experience where guests are invited to indulge in experimental and unusual gastronomy, deep knowledge and fashionable entertainment.
Nestled in the heart of Achrafieh, Cask & Barrel’s latest addition, which joins the brands existing branches in Dekwaneh, Beirut, and Mzaar Hotel Kfardebian, is positioned between the creativity of a menu rich in spirits, the wide world of alcoholic beverages and the emerging trend of private events. The new outlet responds to the demand of hip and eclectic places by offering an original space to eat, drink and be merry, with bottles designed to suit all palates.
For the first time in Lebanon, guests will be served a uniquely crafted breakfast, lunch and dinner menu that boasts mouthwatering spirited meals and signature dishes with an alcoholic twist. Featuring a large open-air terrace that’s ideal for alfresco dining, a spectacular mixology bar, a quaint Lavazza coffee corner and an iconic liquor boutique, Cask & Barrel Sassine promises guests an unforgettable experience.
