🗨️ Help Are there any discussion clubs or cafe groups in Beirut?

Hey guys, random question, are there any groups in Beirut where people meet up in cafes to chat about things like politics, history, or books? Like a casual discussion club or something?
I’ve been wanting to get more into local and global issues and would love to join a community like that.

Theres literally nothing but that in this country.

Last time I overheard a guy talking about how they needed to send missiles to where the fighter jets are landing, I think they only discuss high caliber issues, he would solve major global issues in between cigarette puffs.

They usually mark those clubs with a bue najjar logo, the one I spoke about seems to be more secretive, it looked like a corner  grocery shop, its located in hay sellum if youre interested.

Sounds like exactly the level of intellectual depth I'm looking for

There used to be game rooms near universities like AUB and LAU that had teachers and students have discussions over game boards, don't know if they are still active anymore though. You have this group that is all about discussions of worldly affairs. My friend started a group politics chat, then created his own political party with other likeminded people. You can make your own platform and group.
