  sure miss those 0.5 with the ratings rating is not a solid 4, closer to 4.5 well deserve from our recent experience When in the mood for a change , bucket-list comes in handy Oud Night at Eclipse, Tuesday was way higher than my expectations (started closer to 10:30) was definitely the positive vibes neededhaving a good start ahead of it while enjoying our conversation and drinks Cozy place, perfect for a date, drinks after work, chilling with friendsBar has a wide verity of choicesFood choices for a pub – very good selection; appetizers, salads, mainsservice – super quickHassan– very friendly – attentive – helpful – knowledgeable with great cocktail recommendationsMohammad who was assisting Hassan was quick and friendlyMusic selection & volume prior to one man show / Oud was greatWay too loud when one man show startedSalah Halime – amazing voice & performance , plays his instrument with major passion, glad we selected our reservations for Oud nightWhat matters, F&BDrinks to start the night withWe mentioned to our waiter, Hassan, what we preferred for drink flavorsAutomatically gave my fiancé a suggestion for Old Fashioned international with their twist– which was great for himBeing more picky and less trusting when it comes to drinks … I like, vodka lime/lemon mint, Gin Gimlet, margarita, martini..He suggested one of their international drinks (not on this menu)I loved how Passion Fruit Martini was very well balanced, leaning more to the alcohol side with acidity from the fruitOur second round later was Sour Whisky and Sour Gin – again perfectedRound 3 was another suggestion – requesting a none alcoholic drink – totally forgot the name – super refreshing, acidity of fruit and freshness of the mint was tasty – perfect for those who would not want to have alcohol for whatever reasonPerfect with his recommendationsBartender cocktails well balanced and quick to be servedfresh hot pop corn cup was servedashtrays changed every few minutes plates and cutlery changed between courses Requesting order not to come at the same timeElimination of chilly in any plate that contained spices (due to my severe allergies)except for the shrimp dynamite for t

sharedChicken flex..4 pcsChicken breast cut in 4 large slices, covered with corn flakesHaving a great crunchy sound as you bite through the tenderness of the chickenHoney mustard dip, not the usual one you get at a dinner, served with virgin olive oil which overpowers both the honey and mustardif you don’t dig this flavor then request a cocktail sauceWe had a regular and a spicy cocktail sauce – to us it was much tastier with the chickenChicken deep fried was slightly oilyShrimp dynamite … huge cupThis was totally his, comes with a sweet chilly sauceFunny thing, it was more sweet than chilly that I tried one with cocktail sauce from the previous plate(it contained a trace of chilly which caused me a small skin rash that was dealt with on the spot)Shrimp was well done, glazing with sauce but also slightly oilyRequires much more chilly to be … dynamitePizza roll 4pcs.. dip and biteperfectly stuffed with cheese, mushroom & pepperonigood quality ingredientsrolled in a very crunchy

  My friends and I were in mar mikhael for drinks on a Friday and wanted to try a new place, so we gave eclipse a go. It’s a small pub and it was almost full. We were 5, we sat on the only table available and it happened to be in the middle of the place. We couldn’t move at all. Our backs were literally touching other clients’ backs. The music was mix between international and oriental hits. I liked the music but sadly it was so loud I could scream and no one would notice. So we decided to sit outside since it was calmer. We ordered the following drinks: two margaritas, a bullfrog, two midori sours, a whiskey sour and a passion fruit martini. I just want to ask a question: who messed up a margarita? It had the worst taste and after taste. The whiskey sour was also bad. The midori sour was fine and the passion fruit was good. So disappointed with this place. I do not recommend it unless they do something about their bartender.

  Found this on Gold. Nice pub, but the bartender could be a bit more engaging.It wasn’t really anything special in terms of cocktails, but it did have some nice music courtesy of the DJ, and Gold makes everything better.
