About
Cru (wine bar), Makdessi St., Hamra (Near intersection with Jeanne d'Arc, in the Liban Post building), ☎ 01 344 565, [10]. 6pm-1am Monday-Saturday. If "Cheers" were an upscale wine bar, it would be Cru. The owners really care and it shows: American-born Karen and her Lebanese husband Wael treat you like family, and you'll immediately feel at home. The dinner selection isn't expansive, but it doesn't need to be. The steak is delicious and goes nicely with the wide selection of Lebanese wines available for you to try. The atmosphere is welcoming but not overwhelming; definitely quiet enough for you to have good conversation. There's occasionally a singer on Tuesdays as well.
