Not ideal, but better than many places and not as good as some others.
Is there no more alcohol on Qatar Airways? I missed that.
I was on the Pearl last week and we were literally the only couple in the Mexican restaurant from 7-9pm, which was a shame as it is one of our favorite places. Not much different for the other places either, so my guess is 50% decline in revenues is an understatement. Fair enough if they don't want alcohol at these places, but arbitrarily pulling it from businesses counting on it is bad for attracting future businesses.
Also, let's be honest, Western expats probably make up less than 20% of the population. The real expats are the Asian workers and maids and the legions of Arabs who are born here but have no hope of citizenship.
