释义 |
The Crazy Horse, named after the Parisian cabaret Crazy Horse, is a notable cabaret on the Rue de Phénicie in Beirut, Lebanon. It was an infamous nightclub during the 1960s and 1970s when it was both a bar and a brothel, and considered the most outrageous of Beirut’s bawdy nightlife establishments.[1] The venue, which was also known for its revues,[2] was large, accommodating hundreds of tables, and the high ceiling was decorated with crystal chandeliers.[3] Members of Lebanese and European high society, the rich and glitzy,[4] along with politicians, spies, Arab sheikhs, and tourists mingled with the hostesses, dancers and prostitutes, making The Crazy Horse the highpoint of Beirut’s club scene by 1974.[3] According to Adam Robinson, the author of Bin Laden: behind the mask of the terrorist, Osama Bin Laden frequented the cabaret when he was a student at Brummana High School in Lebanon.[5] See also
