Latest news from Qatar
I'm giving up on Doha night life... :(
I'm a male in in my mid 20's who moved to Doha a little less than one month ago from Dallas, Texas to work for an engineering firm. Prior to coming I was very excited about meeting new ppl and learning about the culture. I'm enjoying the work and love the food and culture.. BUT THE NIGHT LIFE SUX!
Over the last three weekends I've visited places like Garvey's, The Cube, Sky View, and (last night) Paloma for ladies night. I will mention that I went to Rydges last night as well but the door man told me that I needed to have a date!!! Isn't a major part of going out with the fellas to meet women. The Cube was not really my style and Paloma had 10 guys to every girl on Wednesday when it's suppose to be ladies night! Garvey's and Sky view were nice but is this all that Doha has to offer? I hope not.
I'll conclude by saying this. I wasn't expecting a night life similar to Dubai but when you take into consideration the amount of young businessmen/women who come from all over the world to work in this city.. you'd expect a little more.
Ciao,
TexasGuy.

On a positive note there is no activity in Qatar.

gadarene said
phew!...that's quite a long ...phew!...that's quite a long thread on something that doesn't exist...a social life in this town...ok here's the deal,the authorities here encourage 'clean,family,fun'...ie.if you're young & single,recently married or even married with kids but like to have a good time in a not necessarily sober state of mind...FIND ANOTHER PLACE TO LIVE :)It's their country so i guess they have the right to decide & plus you got tax free income- money to spare to buy that fancy car,take that exotic holiday,buy that new phone every month,etc...all that & a vibrant night life??...tsk tsk,now isn't that a bit too much to ask?
suggestion-fly out to Dubai thursday(air arabia to sharjah,low cost is the way to go!) & crawl back saturday night,sure it involves more time,money & effort but it definitely beats partying here(unless sleazy old white men & filipinas looking to be picked up by said sleazy old white men are your thing).
Otherwise there's always karaoke all night /-a-t-/ qube,cube whatever it's called(feels just like manila) or chameli night /-a-t-/ cloud 9(feels just like the sleazy dance bars in bombay)...who says Doha has no night life? *wink* :)
UkEngQatar said
I AM NOT ALONE THEN ...All this time i thought I was the only one feeling like this. Texas guys you have woken me up to say a few things...QUBE.. it like going to Manila, Paloma Stuck people dont wonna now you..Anyway i think i will have a party a my villa, invite to similar minded ppl who are frusted of the night life..
Coming from London To Qatar..If it was not the money I would have left long time ago..Plenty of Money but no honey..

desperate ...I have been here for 6 months, and share the view of all the above, that this place is DESPERATE when it comes to nightlife. (- and I used to live in Islamabad !)
Having said that, and missing the excitement of lively bars, - I have never found them (anywhere in the world) to be the best places to MEET people (as opposed to pick up tarts)
If you want to pick up tarts, The Sheraton has a selection of dreadful Chinese girls in their 1st floor bar. When it comes to meeting people however I have had more success here via the web sites. Many Philippines girls here (shop assistants, nurses etc) seem to be members at Tagged.com and Frienster.com
Good luck
UkEngQatar said
Serdal Good Topic ...Yes one has to ask him self.. What you go to these places to find Tarts or Totties, a date or vice.
Well meeting people is the key word for me. But unfortunate every one is so sacred of talking to someone else incase they might be an under cover agent of the local enforcemnt.. watchout

Try.. ...The secret is not givin up on the creative side of life... Der r actually loads of things tht u can end up doin during de late hours up 2 early mornings... If u r totally in2 clubbing check out places like Paloma(Hotel Intercon), Irish Pub(Hotel Sherton), Pearl(Hotel Marriot), Cloud Nyn(Hotel Merweb). But to make things even better, join de wang of party animals tht actually chill-out by de in-land sea or dunes beyond sealine beach resort. Der r loads of party animals who organize pretty fancy trips 2 de dunes & in-land sea havin trance/techno 2 swing ur head 2... All u need is 2 do a little bit of home work... Or else, gather up friends and hav a BBQ at ur backyard with music, simple.

Grand_Italo said
you are soooo right ...u r sooo right ..
Doha got no night life, if you are new, you have to find some friends from ur the us, they do some nice parties...
if you got some money to spend, i am sure you will find some philippina to hand with, if you got more money and a nice car, youj can find some Libanies or Tunisian,
check the expencive clubs for european girls,
if you are a member of Intrcn. or RZ Crltn you can have a bit of fun.
once you have a group, you can have a house parties it is FANTASTIC, ..music, drink,chicks whatever you want..

Hey all, So, seeing the ...Hey all,
So, seeing the activity in terms of posts on this thread, im convinced there IS actually life out there in the blazing heat (yes, thats blazing even when the sun gos down (at least for me seeing as its winter back home)), and here I am aiming for my 100 points (is it now 200 ???) which will earn me the right to head out clasping a bowling ball to a shindig in the desert .. though I might have got that last bit wrong, must be heatsroke, I did venture outside today without my firesuit on for 5 mins :)
Heres my thoughts / experience on Doha nightlife so far:
It MUST exist, i think its all a matter of breaking into a circle of mates, in which case you can be on teh far side of the moon and still have a blast (uuuhh, .. as long as they serve moonSHINE on the dark side of the moon) :)
The trick seems to be the above, step one. Now Ive had an absolute blast in some of teh spots mentioned in the previous posts, but have to admit that although theyve been entertaining (propositioned by ABBA clones in Sheraton, alomst blown off the 20somethingth story in a freak gust at Skybar (and im not a small person), almost set alight at Pearls trying to convince the barlady that flame was essential for a particular shooter (seems alcohol and matches are illegal as a combination here ?? .... and this list goes on and on) none of the above has resulted in a circle of mates eager to go for round 2.
Now I'm the first to admit that going overboard is not necessarily the way to attract a second invite, (particularly here where its more likely to attract the removal of a body part), but are there any unconventional spots on the Doha radar screen ?
