Welcome to the Beirut bar '1975'.

"Fierce militiamen, sporting beards and army helmets, walk amid civilians and sandbags. Welcome to Beirut's "1975", a bar that seeks to recapture the atmosphere of the Lebanese civil war.

At the lower end of Monot street, the beating heart of the capital's vibrant nightlife, revellers walk into bar "1975" to find themselves thrown back into the tragic, but warm spirit of the devastating 15-year war."
