I don't drink, so I don't have a clue. If you're staying at a hotel, ask reception; they'll know. There may be bar info posted on www.timeoutdubai.com/ as well. |

A "speakeasy" is an illegal bar, such as those that flourished in the US during Prohibition. Didn't you learn that at College ?

Sorry, i'm from a country with an actual history so we didn't learn about such things.
You say they have these in Saudi? How bizarre. |

Dear nickwils,
". . . . i'm from a country with an actual history . . . ."
Ah - which one are you from: Egypt, Iran (Persia), China, India, Greece,
Macedonia or Italy?
It's all relative, innit?
Regards,
John |
