B018 Beirut is known for its ‘war architecture’ including coffin-shaped seats and industrial style. While the Dubai outpost won’t have the same historical origins, the new venue hopes to bring much of its urban aesthetic and concept to our glittering city.
The ‘Main Room’ is exemplary of this pared-back industrial style, darkly lit with moody lighting in reds, greens and blues. It will be open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10pm to 3am. DJ nights on Tuesdays are all about old schoolhouse, Chicago house and Brit Garage house. On Thursdays the focus will be on soul, disco, new wave and 80’s hits, and on Fridays, it’s all house, tech house, minimal melodic house, indie and techno.
