Any attempt to widen the scope of things to do in Doha is welcome in my book, and the premise behind Nitro sounds good. The fact that you're still canvassing for opinions a month before you plan to open doesn't inspire me with confidence though!
I believe that anyone should be allowed into the club if they are above the minimum age, adhere to the dress code, aren't too drunk and can pay the entrance fee. Excluding people based on their race and/or sex is fundamentally wrong and would give the place a bad reputation.
However, once inside if people are behaving inappropriately - i.e. becoming sleazy, too drunk etc - then they should be ejected. A good club needs educated door staff AND educated staff inside.
I agree with the previous comment saying that if the right music is played and the right atmosphere established then the right crowd will be attracted - i.e. people who are looking for somewhere to enjoy good music with like minded people. This does of course assume that there are people like that in Doha.
The UK is a prime example of how two types of club culture can exist - ones for getting totally drunk and pulling, and ones for enjoying good music. Both have their place in society but it's best if they're kept separate! Whether the two types can exist separately in Doha remains to be seen.
On a personal note, if Nitro could be along the lines of FabricLive on Friday nights in London that would be awesome!
