COCKTAIL BAR
Living Room
( 4655988; Mohammed Hussein Haikal St, Jebel Amman; drinks JD3-5, mains JD6-10;
1pm-1am)
Part lounge, part sushi bar and part study (think high-backed chairs, a fire-
place and the daily newspaper), the Living Room is so understated that it's easily missed.
It offers quality bar meals, fine music and delicious iced tea with lemon grass and mint.
Non-teetotallers can enjoy the full complement of expertly crafted cocktails on offer
which are served up deliciously strong.
Grappa
( 4651458; Abdul Qader Koshak St, Jebel Amman; beer JD4-5; 6pm-1.30am)
Styl-
ish wooden benches and B&W photos on the wall give this rustic bar a hip feel but it's the
huge windows with views and the summer terrace seating that really draw the crowds.
BAR
PUB
Big Fellow Irish Pub
( 5934766; Abdoun Circle, Jebel Amman; drinks JD2-4; noon-2am)
It looks like an
Irish pub, it even smells like an Irish pub, but with Arabic music sliding out of the stereo,
it doesn't really sound like an Irish pub. If in doubt, tucking into a pint of bitter and a
Guinness pie should help.
Rovers Return
( 5814844; Ali Nasouh al-Taher St, Sweifieh; drinks JD3-5, meals JD5-8; 1pm-
late)
A godsend for homesick
Coronation St
fans, this popular, cosy English pub near the
7th Circle has wood panelling and a lively atmosphere. The comfort food includes authen-
tic fish and chips, and roast beef with gravy. The entrance is round the back of the build-
ing and can be hard to find - look for the red 'Comfort Suites' sign.
PUB
Blue Fig Café
( 5928800; Al-Emir Hashem bin al-Hussein St; mains JD4-8; 8.30am-1am)
Anoth-
er convivial place to spend an evening, with a chic crowd, pleasant atmosphere and live
music several times a week.
