B018 was initiated by its present manager Nagi Gebran, who is a musician. He started his professional career as a drummer in pubs at the age of 12. He is the cofounder of “Wrong Approach”, and alternative Jazz Band.At the end of 1993, Gebran moved out of his studio, he decided to take the B018 public. The first public version of B018 was built in an industrial sector of the north east suburbs of Beirut. In its early days, B018 operated without a permit in a 200 SQM structure called the “Black Box”, its only access was a dirt road.The unusual music and strange atmosphere were the main ingredients of the B018 concept which quickly became a surprising reflection of the night scene in Beirut. B018 was a definite success. By May 1997, Gebran was forced to leave the premises. The B018 was searching for a new address.
Bernard Khoury is in charge of the architectural concept and execution, the scenography and furniture design of the new B018. The building is executed and ready to operate in a record time of 6 months. On april 18 1998, the new B018 opened its doors to the public at “LA QUARANTAINE” LOT#317.
