Baron Hotel bar: Faded but fun

  • Nightlife Spot: Baron Hotel bar

    Baron Hotel is perhaps Aleppo's most historical and its bar is a place of pilgrimage of sorts for TE Lawrence's fans. Although I'm no fan of his (of TE Lawrence, that is), I still decided to check out the bar for some beers - Efes, the famous Turkish beer, in this case (the other option was Stella, Egypt's flagship beer).

    I actually liked the friendly and laidback vibe of the place, but didn't feel anything different (or weird) about its historical significance. It was nice that there were some other friendly tourists to chat with. Overall, a fun night.

    Sheraton's Piccadilly: It's an English pub, silly.

  • Nightlife Spot: Sheraton's Piccadilly

    As the name suggests, it's an English pub, or rather Sheraton Aleppo's version of one. Since the hotel's soft opening in February 2007, Piccadilly is fast becoming the official watering hole of Aleppo's moneyed scions - but they don't seem like spoiled brats to me, at least the ones I've met here.

    The bar plays some good tunes, albeit a bit outdated, and the waiters and bar tenders will win you over with their friendliness. If you get the good fortune of meeting the head chef of their Asian restaurant - a Filipino named Numeriano - who's very popular with the local crowd here, he might send you a plate of yummy sushi and sashimi, for free.

    Beit Sissi bar: Interesting underground bar

  • Nightlife Spot: Beit Sissi bar

    Beit Sissi does not only have a great restaurant, but also an interesting bar located underground in cavernous former cellars. Unfortunately, the place was empty when I went there so I left after taking a few snaps for this tip, and went back to Piccadilly where the crowds seem to have all moved.

    With the thick warm cushions, the place looks and feels comfy. But what is more interesting are the reliefs on the walls. What do you see?

     Interesting and insightful tips! And fine photos in your travelogues! Aleppo sounds like an amazing place.

     Oh magic! Not only excellent for my Saturday morning lessons (learned a lot) but also inspiring and colourful! I love the red mailbox and the picturesque courtyards, the souq, the door knockers and want to have a shawarma now...

     Nice overview of Aleppo. I have heard so much about it in history books. At least now I got to see it virtually.
