    Absolutely delicious! We ordered the nachos which were plentiful and really tasty. We also ordered the Ferdinand burger which was scrumptious. It had blueberry jam which cut perfectly with the cheese and the patty, although not medium rare, as requested, was so juicy and tender....More

    Cosy, polite staff, well located

    The title says it all. A cosy place well located in the heart of Beirut (as a tourist's point of view). Their cocktails are really amazing. The bartenders are well trained and know their stuff. Staff was really polite. Thumbs up

    Description
    Inspired by the story of Ferdinand the bull who liked to sit quietly under a cork tree, and smell the flowers rather than fight with the other bulls, Ferdinand, the bar, is conveniently located in Mahatma Ghandi street right in the heart of Hamra. Decorated in a warm and friendly atmosphere, the large leather couch may fool you into thinking that you are in Friends' Central Perk. Crowded with intellectuals, foreigners, artists and students, this place is the dream place for people who are looking for a new scene. Ferdinand the Bull is yet another symbol for peace, simplicity and happiness. Our Place allows admission for 21+yrs ONLY!! we serve craft cocktails and soul food !
