What sets the B2O (the new incarnation of the locally legendary BO bar) apart from its peers is the convivial atmosphere that makes you want to linger for hours, a mellow soundtrack that doesn't preclude conversation and a kicking bar-food menu with global overtones. Part of the proceeds go towards supporting Syrian war victims.
