Best Bars in Town?

man when where do such things in qatar

PaulKimchi, It is illegal to drink at any establishments at the Pearl. Look at this link: http://iloveqatar.net/forum/read.php?5,37518

Hope this information helps. :)

Ask him if he don't mind a camel, they don't resist much

Some guy came up to me and asked me if I was gay or not. He said he likes men and wanted to take me home. I was in shock and ran away. haha This happened at the Qube in Ramada.

I went to Midori Sushi on the Pearl. They serve alcohol if you rent the VIP room. To rent the VIP room is only 100qrs. You can be as loud as you want also!

Been to Orion in Radisson blue(Formerly Ramada). It was a good experience their. A piano concert was there. It was a bit over crowded as I went on Thursday. Drink prices range from 30 QR to 150 QR(per 30 ml). Indian made KingFisher strong beer costs 50 QR (which I feel is a fair deal). Guests are mostly Asians, Pinoys, middle easterners.

Gets closed by 12'O clock.

Yer it was a nice breakdown guessing it would be a bit dated though.

Nice little breakdown, gypsy. Thanks.

Gypsy ,

Nice write up very helpful for people like me who have recently moved to doha from dubai and mumbai where life just rocks . cheers

Sajid

shocking.

Wow and all this in Doha !!

great info provided up in here :)

Are there any bars with pool tables that are open until the early hours?

Where is the best bar for ladies to go? Can ladies get entrance alone?

So far compared to Dubai, Doha does not have places with nice ambience and decor.

grt info lying to note

Need some new places...whats coming up at the W and the other couple of new hotels nearing completion.

Kudos Gypsy...don't think anyone cd hv done better..

why o why did paloma get rid of tht small dance floor and their outdoor seating :-(

Best email extractor

Texas Hold'em poker bot

is there any age limit to enter any bars ?

Guys and gals ...No cool joints at all!!! sick crowd everywhere with freak thoughts.. we want some good rock concert... try on that....

I been there in Ritz Carlton "Admiral" i had very good experience their expcially one of the pretty lebenase that time. heheheh!! actually until now were seeing each other. I recommend that bar! especially if u like arab musics.!!!!! yahoooo

I have been there, probably 7 times, honestly and I did not notice a prostitution atmosphere, at least no the prostitution atmosphere that you can see in others countries in gulf or outside Qatar. Obviously I noticed this crazy couples, likes very nice Asian lady with very old and disgusted western man, is she a prostitute? Well, from my point of view she only has a very bad taste and he has a lot of money to waste around.

Personally I do not classify the ladies in this way and if is the case, well they should have a real good reason to do it.

wow..... thats what i call SOLID info..!! :) ..

the Sky View in La Cigale is nice

Buy your own chocolate bar and enjoy!

edmund say's.... NO GOOD BARS IN DOHA. If you are hoping to find a good bar in DOHA, you will be disappointed. YUN LANG!

I think the correct words for these Qube ladies is "Having the potential to become one" or "Part timer". The argument is when 5 glasses of beer is down, words and action can be distorted. Anything is possible from here on. And why not. We are all here alone. I could't live without it either.

I appreciate your effort for such a great heap of info. But I don't think it's right to say that 99% women in Qube's main floor are prostitutes. I've been here in Doha for almost 4 years and have gone there maybe 5 times. I could say that I really didn't like all that I saw but at least I have respected every women and given them all the benefit of the doubt.After all I came there to have some fun and not really to be a judge.Who are we to judge people? If you want to be of help and you want others to get your message...you could have done it gentler so as not to offend other people...you could have said it like some women looks indecent,or much worst majority are pros...but 99%??? wow...as If you want to leave that 1% margin to yourself because you're going there also....Are you that flawless? Are you infallible? Are you that immaculate? If yes then you are the best judge I've ever known.

Just an unsolicited piece of advice..."don't judge and you will not be judged"....and still the golden rule cries out "don't do unto others what you don't want others do unto you".

Gypsy; You're such a wonderful source of info, and I thank you.

Regards,

Tamer

Eleven, forget about and don't waste your time with this topic. Gypsy really doesn't know what he says. In Italy, but I think all over the world, it is said that who despises wants to buy; then if he's male wants a woman but doesn't succeed in picking her and and if is a woman wants a man but she's so ugly that nobody wants her.

Ciao

Gy: listen ! you are raving!!what a hoot post!

I went QUBE one time with a friend,oh my god, i dance hot,hope they didnt think me a pro.i am surpried,why the guy wrote that 99% in main floor are pros.you are so subjective.i am sure it is not true.i think most of female went clubs for haveing a fun.can you tell me which place can make more happy in the city.,many strange rules bother me.when i am sitting on a chair and drinking or dancing in the pool,a man comes to me,say hi,whether i have to say that i am not a pro.

Just left Qatar 4 months ago (been there for 7 years) and what I read from Gypsy is a pure rubbish; sure he/she had some problems with some girls in Doha so for this reason he think that most of the girls dancing, standing or drinking in the bars in Doha are prostitutes. Ahahahahah

pls.respect the custom of the country.It is not fair to discuss this type subject here publicly.Better dont misuse the freedom.Take care

Great Post Gypsy.

I would also consider joining the Doha-Nights mailing list...they give great events on a weekly basis.

Sign up at:

www.doha-nights.com

You know guys whatever you said...there are always pros etc in every single bar..how about when a lady got drunk

fall and ended with romantic affair that night to a particular guy...it's a one night stand then...guys should feel lucky about it. However, gypsy's information

on night out hub will help us anyway...the only thing i absolutely disagree on rules is most of bar and club taking membership..I was just concerned to those tourists who will stays for a week or even less for example and wants to have fun with friends he or she cannot go in coz of this fuckin membership and not even accepting passports as identification. I hope management of such establishment will also consider other things...Can we just call it "FUN" for everybody who wants to enjoy????? Well anyway... I love HEDKANDI and whether you like it or not it's in Qube ramada....

That's me. :)

HE WHO DARES WINS

I'm afraid Ladies & Gents that I no longer no anything about this stuff. I've switched jobs and settled down with my sweetie, so I'm afraid the only bar I've gotten out to lately is my couch. :D

Very cozy lounge serving all day long till midnight hot and cold beverages. Great choice of non-alcoholic cocktails and yummy shakes. Free WIFI and good choice of news papers, Park your car at the basement.

Chill out and relax. Large Flat Screen TV, good music.

So Gypsy you're saying that gone are the days when Qatar was clean and decent??!!

I never knew we're hosting so many pros and bars!

Perfectly described.. that's called bar FEVER.. keep it man. & Drink sensibly / responsibly (If you do)./ Cheeers.

Gypsy,

I had fixed our monthly gathering for expats associated with InterNations-Qatar last month at 'CloudNyn-Merweb'.

But only upon entering the venue, we were stopped & denied entry stating new rule permited only existing registered members to all bars in the city.

I enquired about becoming a member on-the-spot, but was refused saying membership was already stopped for new clients.. What is this?

I tried browsing new bar rules but, could not get any more info :(

What is the very latest rule about entry to Bars, as well as to Clubs here?

Clear-cut answers would certainly help.

Cheers... !

With warm wishes,

r u sure that there r pros in ramada.....whats their rate?

have u gone at cube...

Or try the Pearl Lounge

HE WHO DARES WINS

Does anyone have an update on Garveys? Last I read was back in February after the New Year's incident. Its it closed for good or is there anything in the works for a re-opening?

Habanos at the Ritz has a good selection of Cuban Cigars.

i love Rydges but it's closed

My mission in life is to find the perfect bar with Cuban Cigars.

I haven't yet.

Gypsy, your original post totally cracked me up!

100% spot on!

WOnder if you can get an up to date version printed in the Marhaba book :P

Tomorrow is another day ;)

Gypsy said When I went baldrick it was a Thursday night and 100% men. Couldn't walk 2 feet without getting my ass pinched. The place scared the hell out of me."

Righto.. and this is why I wait to go home to hang out at nightspots with me pals, without being unnecessarily bugged by el creepos.

And thanks for the list for Doha, Gyps! :0)

*****************************************

Don't want no drama,

No, no drama, no, no, no, no drama

I was wondering , which bar are you working...LMFAO.

No kidding ..good job

When I went baldrick it was a Thursday night and 100% men. Couldn't walk 2 feet without getting my ass pinched. The place scared the hell out of me.

"Gulf Horizon Hotel: Located in the souk next to the Rawnaq and above a juice stall, the 8th floor of the Gulf Horizon boasts a bar. Not much to be said for this place except the drinks are CHEAP!!! 12 QR a shot, 12 QR a bottled beer."

Went there last night as it is only a 15 minute walk from where I live. It was actually OK! A good mix of nationalities - Brits, Indians, Filipinos, Lebs, and a couple of Qataris watching the footie. Guinness at QR26/pint is one of the cheapest in town though we did have to ask for 'cream on top'.

Really appreciate that.its very useful...cheers..!!

F@tHeAd

LOl!

Thanx Gypsy!for the Info!;)

Where is the entrance to the first floor bar in the mercure? I fancy a bit of culture!!

great !

Thanks for the advice Moma

Does Quatar have the death penelty ?

a. Its cheap

b. You get caught by the cops and you are pretty close to dead

it is better to shut your mouth of you can't say good to others...wat i mean is..don't judge the people and don't call them prosti..if you don't know them personally or maybe that why you said this coz u were assuming that they are prosti..isn't it? but my dear fren..God created all of us not to be bad..we are the one choosing what our life will be...i can suggest to you my beloved one...not all the people are the same..we as people created by God has different uniqueness and different capability in our own...this is just wat im trying to discuss and to share...thank you!...peace im not mad by the way!>..Godbless!

no it isn't

Mr. Q's Blog - A Qatari's view on Qatar.

Can Qatari please contact me!! I really need to update this list!

Just saw pctha and was wondering if anyone was in for a pub crawl. Yeah, I know you cant really walk between the bars, but we could get a couple of taxis and try it out. Would be fun to get drunk with random people, dont you think?

Im moving to Qatar soon...cant believe nightlife is this bad!

anyway, looking forward to checking out some of these places and comparing them to this guide.

someone's doing her homework.^_^

and I LIKE the Sheraton Waterhole...but only if you go with a group of people because you do get grabbed if you go alone...but I always have a heck of a good time dancing!

wow, you guys should celebrate an anniversary... this post is gonna be a year old

I will take your posts and do a pub crawl..when i get there.

cheers.

I hope some of you are being sensible about mentioning/ or discriminating people in East asian... we are different people with different background... same decent intellectual capacity when we are not drunk... :)

How is this new hotel JW???? I heard there is Crystal Bar....How is it??/ Is there also a piano bar? Is it similar ambiance to La Cigale.

just an opinionated statement... nothing personal..PEACE TO ALL!!!

very informative.. nice guide when we need to unwind. as for the 'pros' part, well they are everywhere, in bars, even in our places of work. they don't dress like sl... but the flirty motive they have inside their brains make them as one. they would fall with single or married guys. they don't have to be paid, they are always free of charge...

great info rmation in Qatar.

where is Garvey and the Golf Club you mention is it at Doha Golf club?

Thank you

Gypsy is almost reaching P.hd. level for her thesis.

Just new with these stuff in Doha, can I have these even I don't have liquor permit? Thanks anyway....

dtvQatar2T

How to get date sap juice?

It's a little on the pricer side unfortunately. Though the food is really really good.

Aha i know that place any price info??? nice underground toilet in front of orry its like your inside the elevator or a capsule waiting to be ejected anytime. just wondering what will happen if electricity plunks down.

" In my opinion only. . . nothing personal"

Yup that's it. It's got good food and sheisha though.

Where is this place..Not that lonely building behind the Orry the Oryx big statue is it?

Damme there was me thinking that this is some kinda trendy bar..

Thanks Gypsy hail to you, you are the one and only truely guide on bars in Doha..lol

HE WHO DARES WINS

Balhambar is a restuarant and it's now called Al Mourjan. No booze I'm afraid.

Some body told me that there was a Bal Ham Bar somewhere near the corniche.. I have been here now over 2 years and almost visited every one on Gypsy's list.. But never found a bar on the corniche.. Is this bar some kind of VIP or secret bar?

-----------------

HE WHO DARES WINS

lol thanks gypsy big help . . .

" In my opinion only. . . nothing personal"

Here you go, it's posted here:

http://www.qatarhappening.com/off-the-press/details.aspx?id=5&cid=13

Can we open a new thread for that? or posible can i have ur list? just need a little info . . thanks a lot.

" In my opinion only. . . nothing personal"

As soon as I can edit the original post. For some reason I can't right now.

hello gypsy when will be the updated list be coming?

" In my opinion only. . . nothing personal"

Bumblebertie, If you ask me about a specific restuarnt I could tell you, but I don't have a list, there's just too many of them.

Ok, I want to try and get rid of the original post, simply because it's outdated. For example there's no pro's at the La Mer bar anymore, Garveys is closed, Admirals is closed, Rydges is closed, but for some reason I can't edit my post.

Gypsy,

Fab, do you have same for restaurants?

Gypsy: Dont worry I quickly read a little more an saw you originally made this list. so thank to you too! Where are you from? Im here from Ottawa.

Hey, I and only I will get flack for this post. :P

Majid, why did you copy and paste my post again?

good thinking

@MAJID Thanks for this list... I am surprized there are pros at all here. Well kind of I guess. I've herd of a place called cube what is this like?

Seriously gypsy ....u really nailed it !!!:)

it cant get more detailed than this !

goodluck!

and ur the cool smart american wright??????

ur the egytian saedi amoud^^

"take it easy; and if it's that easy take it twice."

all i said is that was what i saw there, i didnt say that all the girls are pros........

to dmighty, what is wrong with you, dont have anything else to do?????????????????

i told do not target me with any words, you are not allowed and not in the position to do that, if you are a bit slow just tell me and i will explain to you what i mean, dont be shy. peace.

pirate's cove at Sheraton...

you can't take a joke and yet here, you are using bad language? Bar talks are for matured persons only!

"dgoodrebel will always be the rebellious good one"

Amourad your funny, you will fit in well with the crowd of the people who think that single women are pro's and that all the guys who are out are looking for pros!

Maybe someone could create a tagging system in which every person is vetted prior to entering the bar/club to see if they are a working girl (pro) or a single/married guy looking for a sh*g

sure man, but sometimes u just wanna meet new ppl, ofcourse gettin laid will always be a goal :D, but sometimes u just wanna have a gd time with interesting ppl without the green mind, also whatsup with that rule i heared about??... is it true u gotta have a permeation or sth to get into a club?????? why dnt they just close all the clubs? its easier that way. i cant understand it.

You can't teach experience...

amourad, there's nothing wrong with a girl thinking that.

eventually you'll meet a girl that is also thinking of only sex.

:(

You can't teach experience...

thanks for sharing . . .

" In my opinion only. . . nothing personal"

i wanna ask where the f*** is all the cool ppl??????

in every bar i only see pros and guys that seeks pros :S

even the irish harp started to allow some pros in......

what is this????, i really feel sorry for that kind of guys, now if a guy tried to talk with a girl there she automatically reject him cause she thinks that he wanna get laid, its really depressing.

Maybe you can't see the wood for the trees ;)

how absurd your information about QUBE...

I've been there MAIN FLOOR twice last year with group friends( 6 women 2 men)having a CLEAN FUN on weekend... so how come you are informing people that 100% women in the main floor are prostitutes???????

By the way the 2nd time we went there we go up at the VIP and within 30 minutes we go down again in the MAIN FLOOR... do you know why?????? because we were not comfortable with what we saw in the VIP section....im not telling 100% of women in VIP but I can tell lots of women in the VIP section literally throwing their bodies with the men they are with...we saw some are even making out which we did not even see in the MAIN FLOOR...

SO NOW TELL ME WHERE ARE THE PROSTITUTES?????

DON'T BE JUDGMENTAL MY DEAR.... ;)

what club was shut down?

hope to make friends to all of you.

Thanks Ibrahim Melouk. Gypsy, not all women who goes to Qube are pros. Me and my best friends, whenever we wanted to unwind, we went to bars like Qube or Sheraton coz its near to our place. My Occupation is Retail Store Manager and my friend is a Travel consultant and not a PROSTITUTE.

We can pay our own drinks and eat in a class restaurant without a sponsors. Very well said and done..

Again, thanks Ibrahim..

Oh ya I've heard about that rule ...

not the bars though , just the clubs ( boggie down clubs )

any one know whats the word on that ?

details

starting from Feb will be new rules.

you should have membership card QRs, 25/- even for ladies otherwise no enter (all clubs).

A. M. Mashayekhi

thanks for the info about bar here in doha...

Be fair with Gypsy that when she wrote this it was true about two months ago, Things have changed a number of bars and clubs have shut down or closed down, you know the one I am talking about..

-----------------

HE WHO DARES WINS

for tracking :)

Gypsy your information is good on location and places but your comment of pros, well you are just an idiot especially about the Qube. I go there quite a bit and not looking for pro's and I am downstairs a lot with groups of friends (male and female). Lots of guys go with their girls or the girls go out to get a break from the BS they go through here or with comments from people as ignorant as you. If you are really a female you should understand that or do you think your a holy than now. To say the Qube is 100% pros is so lame and ignorant.

seems like it's better to go as couples to any Pub/Club in order to ensure a decent night out! :S

riverman....I would say I would be nigh on impossible!

GYPSY .. When you go to bars, DO YOU KNOW EVERYBODY?

You'll never know who are righteous ... Are YOU?

Never say you know what everybody is doing ... know your self first...maybe you are one of them.

Hi Guys,

I would like to start a bar, restaurant & night club in doha, can you please help me out with some suggestions on location, concept etc.. and how risky is the business

, if you can contact me directly [email protected] will be most appreciated thanks in advance

wow any new club

WOW. u got them all. but i like the way you count. good job. and i cant agree more.

Yay.. Great stuff Gypsy.. Can we share this with everyone (social networking sites etc) without having to worry about any copyright infringement issues? :-)

high demand on looking for females heheheh. Vegas... u have to try bahrain they would not ran u over they going to shred u into pieces. gees maybe a couple of years from now a bus service of pros would be delivered every night in every hotel in doha.

I confirm, plenty of Pros in Sheraton waterhole, I had to flee before they ran me over.

THANK YOU SO MUCH AND IT WAS REALLY COOL MAN, U HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB,, THERE IS ENOIGH INFORMATION.......

TAKE CARE DUDE

GOD BLESS YOU

hi

hai tamil boys and girls best bar at qatar ramatha

Thank you so much Gypsy, as an advice which of these are the classiest? Habanos at Ritz Carlt sounds good. Any recommendation? I need one with the least cheapos

how'd you know about them??

a) u hate ur competitors coz..

e) would u mind ur own business

f) define ur own sense of humor??

g) dont eat too much hammor

duh??

Burger King: American family restaurant. Cheapest drinks in Doha by far, usually a good crowd though 70% kids; and 28% adults; 2% cleaners. Usually a birthday party on Thursdays or Fridays, sometimes a mascot playing pokey stuff on Thursdays and Fridays. Average drink price 4 QR (per single order; meal combo for free).

cheers,

where can i meet crews? they are all lovely.

xoxo

That is handy!

Well Done Gypsy.........great info :)

Gypsy’s been smart and funny about it. Been going out for few yrs in Doha the ideal place is yet to be found. They all start well then go down fast. This is even the case of the Pearl lounge which use to be the place.

Looking for a place where the music is good, drinks are cheap and girls are hot …lol

Now I know that there are many bars in Doha with no taste by reading Gypsy's information.

Enjoy at those bars who want to enjoy.

Better than nothing.

pearl marriot is good for me...pricey! so no cheap men would want to come in. ang ladies can wear anything without worrying that someone will touch their ass.

enjoy!!!

Gawd....looks like people should stay out of Qube when the clientele have such an attitude problem, bottle in your face crew or what?!!!!

WOW I just found out that I am cheap and retarted. I am so glad that some of you don't like going to the qube!! that means I will not have to drink a beer around you small minded people. and gypsy I dont think calling all women downstairs Prostitutes a "sense of humor"

Wo!!! Thanks Gyps for such a detailed list of the places to drink in Doha. I never knew these places existed, except for the common ones. You know the environment you drink also effects you and Believe me!!! Drinking in these dirty places like Sofitel, Gulf Horizon, Merwab, The Qube, Orion, Merwab and few other places, we start feeling cheap

and retarded just like the people who come there. MOre over Whenever I go there I feel like I am in some East Asian country.

Could you be Specific about a place where I can find some decent intellectual crowd with reasonable rates of drinks.

There simply isnt any , its all shite as far as im concerned

Without imagination their is nothing!

You can't teach experience...

"Ramada Agree you come out to car park some body will offer you thr services for QR. 200 - 500"

I was there last night looking for their services. couldn't find a single one. If I go with you I might be able to find one with your valuable guidence :)

Ban Spoon Feeding not Me

Bouncers in Doha r sooo rude...i mean most of them...even in 5 stars places!!!

in Dubai it used to be a biiiig issue..and discussed in the news papers even in front pages!!

they dont get the proper training or the guideness on how to handle guests!!! they treat guests like the come to peg to get into these places!!

i dont know if anyone does agree with me!

i do agree wz u Wadi....

Gypsy done alot of effort and spent alot of time to bring us these helpful information....if it is not 100% accruate who can be!!!......

80% of these places i never heared of! and i thought that there is no any more places other than Ramada, sheraton and intercon!!!...

thanks again GYPSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have been in Doha for 5 months..been to quite few of these places....thank you for the info. now i can see more options to hag out!

btw..i have been to Qube in Ramada several times...i only disagree that 100% of females on the dance floor r pros! that is not true:)

thank you anyways..

A TROLL GREAT

Gr8 post gypsy I've been to most of the bars you've mentioned.

Rydges I agree with you QA crew rule thr, mecure agree, My worry is yet to find a pros in any of the above places you've mentioned???? Ramada Agree you come out to car park some body will offer you thr services for QR. 200 - 500

Don`t Love me be my friend

Verns, Vegas is a good friend of mine, I'm sure if I insulted his wife (whom he did not meet at the Qube :P ) then he would tell me himself.

Jeez people, it's called a sense of humor.

Oh dear me. Seems like there's been a rush on sense of humour bypasses.

Think about it people - obviously Gypsy doesn't know exact percentages of male to female, nationalities, and prostitutes. She's just thrown in some figures as a rough guide based on what she's seen at these bars. In some cases she's probably exaggerated to get her point across and for comedy effect.

Her guide is accurate enough to make a decision about where you want to drink, yet also humorous and light hearted. Thank you Gypsy, I've forwarded this to all my friends in Qatar. None have complained that you insulted them.

Remember my dear, not all people are the same..As what Vegas wrote, u insulted his wife, not only his wife but also those ladies who go there just to enjoy....Hmmm.....maybe ur one of those prostitutes...because u know all those datas...lol..PEACE!!!

Remember my dear, not all people are the same..As what Vegas wrote, u insulted his wife, not only his wife but also those ladies who go there just to enjoy....Hmmm.....maybe ur one of those prostitutes...because u know all those datas...lol..PEACE!!!

Do you guys not understand sarcasm?

You can't teach experience...

gypsy said:

Nope I don't go to the main floor. I stay in the upstairs section with the rest of the non-paid for ladies.

So you stay in the upstairs section with the rest of the non-paid ladies.

Umm, I'm I missing something between those lines you wrote?

Must be the Casting system you are using is outrageously different from the rest of the females.

The Seven Words You Can Never Say On QL by George Carlin

:-O ...

love u gypsy

Nicely done. You guys dont have to be all judgmental & shit, what she wrote intended to just give you a breif idea of the whole damn thing. I've been to quite a lot of these places & shes somewhat right.

A few aditions.

Paloma, Intercon. If you know Salsa or are interested in it theres no other place like it. I AM sad about the no more outdoors though.

Aussie Legends, Rydges. For the guys, they have a pool table there..nice eh? although a little hard to get a turn as its packed.

Cloud nine, Merweb. Too TOO crowded, place is a little bigger then Rydges' but furnished really badly. Oh & the first fridays of the months?..shouler to shoulder, & i literally mean shoulder to shoulder! Forget dancin you cant frikkin walk or sit or drink decently. Friendly down to earth staff though.

Gypsy knows everything! Or rather she thinks she does, which is far more dangerous.

Everybody is shoved into a category without any justfication whatsoever.

So which category do you fall into Gypsy?

a lot of the pros are in the car park of the Ramada.... offering their services

the Qube is like a prison disco with big guy dancing with little guys who are their shower baitches

this classic piece of writing by Gypo i have saved and mailed to many

its great

britishdisliker, maybe they are not literally pros but perhaps what gypsy meant is that they're dressed like total sluts. ;o)

cheers,

paul

Gypsy, please explain my lack of observations in the Qube then. If indeed all the girls on the bottom floor in the Qube are pros, then somebody should explain their job to them! Whenever I go there they ignore every man who tries to talk to them (and no, they dont only ignore me)... and I never see any leaving with clients. I must be missing something. Or they are just the laziest pros in the world!

Also, can you answer peoples question about coming bars and nightclubs? Seeing that you are very close to all-knowing!

Nope I don't go to the main floor. I stay in the upstairs section with the rest of the non-paid for ladies.

Batman - the age groups vary at both of those places. I always suggest Bubbles for a drink, drinks are great, service is great and the price is reasonable.

But there is one thing that peevs me

Qube: Nightclub. 78% men, Filipino/Western; all women are upstairs in VIP area that you need a woman to get up to. 100% women on the main floor are prostitutes. Music is DJ/Hip Hop/House. Joe Mitri is actually pretty good if you really want to dance on a Thursday night. Average drink price: 30 - 50 QR

Gyp: how do you know that 100% woman on the main floor are prostitute. Did you go to the main floor? if yes then you should reduce the % to accomodate yourself or else you know what to think!

i wanted to bring my friends for a drink on Saturday (they are visiting me this w.-end) and I found your rewiew very useful.

now I know the places Idon't want to go to because we are 3 ladies Thanks again you didn't mention age range of clients in Irish Harp or garveys,

we dont want to be with a crowd of teenagers...nor listen to my parents favourite oldies!!!!

ps we are all european one of my frind lives in Paris other in Rome so what is your suggestion ?

Gypsy... and what percentage of these stats did you make up on the spot? :-P

Gypsy!!Thanks for such detailed synopsis of night life in Doha.I appreciate your efforts to be in all these places!!!

Need some new places...whats coming up at the W and the other couple of new hotels nearing completion.

Kudos Gypsy...don't think anyone cd hv done better..

why o why did paloma get rid of tht small dance floor and their outdoor seating :-(

Seeing that you people are so well informed: Anybody know of new bars opening in the coming months?

And Gypsy, if indeed all the girls on the bottom floor in the Qube are pros, then somebody should explain their job to them! Whenever I go there they ignore every man who tries to talk to them (and no, they dont only ignore me)... and I never see any leaving with clients. I must be missing something. Or they are just the laziest pros in the world!

You can't teach experience...

Is that bar in Oasis Hotel still open? Cause from there I would walk home drunk

All females downstairs at cube are NOT prostitutes

You can't teach experience...

Boy... Gypsy... Seriously, WOW...!!!

nice post gypsy
