Was at the Qube last night with my girlfriend and it feels like pretty much the same atmosphere as last year. I'm starting to think Doha is cursed with not being able to have any atmoshpere, no matter how much money gets thrown at it.
It was good there is only Mocha for the band now as the second band didn't cut it. The DJ on at 11 seems to work too.
The place needs a whole makeover though, and not just a coat of paint and moving a bar from the corner to the side of the wall. I'm sure you're a good manager, but maybe not a qualified interior designer. I think it's time to bring in a professional, close the place for a week or two and redesign it. Then have a grand opening as a NEW Qube.
Great idea above to divide the place into different lounge areas. Bad idea to raise drink prices. 24QR for a Corona is more than enough. We don't need another presumptuous Pearl Lounge.
