European std... Right, over here pubs are only in hotels. Over the past ten years two pubs opened and shut down because of too much carnage lol. If you want to dine and have a few drinks at the same time, again only in hotels (not all btw, mostly 4-5 stars) and some restaurants in a place called The Pearl Qatar (look it up :-) ). Dining in such places, expect around QR300 minimum for a three course meal. Alcohol, is served with a drop of gold btw. A pint of beer will cost you QR60 maybe a little less. Shots are a lot more! Cheaper if you buy yourself your own and have at home, which you can only buy from one place, Qatar Distribution company who distributes liquor and now PORK btw starting december (lucky you lol) but only to those who avails the liquor license issued by them as well (you need to pay a deposit of QR1000 that is refundable when you surrender your license back to them).
If you don't mind living in a flat (which you probably won't) a decent one should cost you minimum QR6500, make sure to choose those with proper maintenance. Some of them offer elec and water inclusive at that price.
We have recently sold our vehicles which made us rent one for until we leave in december. Make sure you go for proper rental companies with proper insurance coverage. We took the cheapest one from Avis (who is the cheapest decent rental company) and they gave us a Nissan Sunny brand new for QR 1250 per month.
Food, if you like cooking at home, yes QR2500 is probably enough, or if you love KFC lol
Petrol here is QR1 per liter for the most expensive type, it was QR.70 for a very long time, probably since they discovered oil until in 2008 when it went up to QR.80 and now QR1.00 after only a few years (I think someone is starting to realise that oil is running out soon! lol)
Ugh this list can go on... but yeah QR25000, dunno how much you can save from that like and at the same time live everyday without thinking "Why oh why didn't I take the BLUE pill?!"
