Locals at theTrader Vic's Bar
By MarcoNandoz-01 •
So I was out dining at the Trader Vic's Bar in the West Bay area of downtown Doha, with tow of my close friends at the Hilton resto pub lastnight, when I saw 4 Hejabi girls walk into the bar, there were also a couple of local guys in Qatari thobs and they were getting drunk.
I was bamazed to see locals chilling out at a bar like it's nobody'sbusiness!
Are locals allowed to drink alcohol in public now?
Im confused!
Brit..doesnt it give you wings? Whenever I drink I fly...lol
In sheraton it is not allowed to get in for the local girls.
But anyway when you see something you don't like, close your eyes :-)
Shoukld flyers drink ? :O(
Never liked Harp since day 1....
Yeah... good place to hang out..
pity when they advertised they said its a restaurant...with nice 3 part cuban music where you can enjoy your meal with a glass of wine, smoke free, when i got there...eiee...so many young kids getting drunk...huffing and passing the smoke..i think its slowly turning to be like the harp. WILD!!!!
Qatar is a democratic country and everyone is allowed to enjoy the way they want.
I think its real nice to see locals enjoying too. Its pretty cool and i think its a sign of becoming cosmopolitan country after all!!
so Saudis are called Soudis too hm? sooo uuu dis hilarity... anyhow, they shouldn't since its not morally right. Freedom doesn't run for infinity it has its limit.
Trader Vic's isn't a bar, its a restaurant, so local dress is allowed, even if you are drinking.
UKEng, The Soudis looked thirsty when they came back to the hotel next morning to get the dancing girls..:0)
Yeah I've seen guys in thobe's getting drunk in there...
Doesn't bother me at all and they should be free to do what they want.
BUT I like Trader Vics and hope it doesn't get shut down! like the pearl :-(
KR they may be thirsty Saudis :)
Good to know that unlike the Soudis, they don't have to run to Bahrain to get drunk..
why do you ask when you see it already...if you dare...no one will there but you only...
com on guys which expat would dare walk into a bar in local dress?
MM: Yes, I Thought That too.
but hey wouldn't be just too obvious? come to think of it!
They may be from CID ..
Just leave them up to them ..
FlyingAce is my witness (:
Who will believe your story under this sky ?
You counted 4 girls but failed to notice how many boys were there!
Having a thobe on doesn't mean your a local.
I was happy to see these guys being able to go out and have a drink in public like they don't give a care in the world!
Brit: No it wouldn't , but it's not something im used to eeing here.
yeah I was like WTF!
Nops, won't make a difference.... Everyone has the Right to do what He/She wants too...
Would it make any diffrence if they did ?
Saw the same couple of weeks back at Trader Vic's... Seems like it depends on the Hotel Policy....
