Hi,
am employed in a firm in Qatar since three months now. Since I have no friends here, i would like someone to help me know how and where to buy some alcohol.

I hate to go to bars or hotels where they charge you so much that the spirits dont seem to help you enjoy the mood.

Anyone who helps me is welcome for a good time anytime.

BTW, do we need permits to drink at a bar in Qatar??

thanks,
Zakir.

if one plans to drink in a bar, it is advisable to just leave the car at home and hire a driver for the night.. better safe than sorry..

Your salary must be above QR 4000 at least. Get the company letter head declaring your basic salary and submit to QDC - 4699413. They will take 1000 QR as refundable amount.
