The next chapter brings that local spirit to a new location on Main Street in Bikfaya, with more ways for friends to spend an evening together. The heritage belongs to the gaming story rather than uninterrupted operation at the new site. ## New worlds and old favourites The expansion connects three planned rooms: modern PCs and PS5 in the main room; vintage CRT PCs, billiards and a PS2 corner in the cozy middle room; and two Quest VR bays with a sofa lounge in the right-hand room. ## The next chapter is taking shape The supplied interior images show design concepts rather than completed-venue photographs. Installation, opening details and each activity’s readiness will be confirmed as the expansion progresses. ## Location and directions Panthera is on Main Street in Bikfaya, Lebanon. Use the owner-confirmed Google Maps pin for directions to the lounge. ## Opening hours and activity readiness Expansion opening hours, holiday hours and activity readiness are still to be confirmed.

This website does not accept reservations yet. A public phone number and contact channel will be added once confirmed. ## Before planning a group visit Each simultaneous PC player needs a station. PS5 is charged per station, billiards per table, and VR per headset. Two planned VR headsets mean up to two simultaneous users, with a larger group rotating. ## Access and venue policies Age guidance, accessibility details, smoking policy and the final game catalogue are still to be confirmed. These details will be published once checked for the expanded lounge. ## Ordinary session examples At the provisional casual rates, two PC hours for one player would be $4.40; two hours on one PS5 station would be $8; one hour on the shared billiard table would be $5; and two VR headsets for 30 minutes of active play would be $14. ## A night for four friends Four modern PC players for two hours would cost 4 × 2 × $2.20 = $17.60. One shared billiard table for one hour afterwards would make this sequential plan $22.60 in total, or $5.65 each if split equally. Availability and final rates need confirmation. ## Time wallets and reservations Provisional PC wallets are 5 hours for $10 or 10 hours for $19, for one player and valid for 30 days.
