Buffalo A western styled Bar, Average food, Reasonably priced Drinks, Good DJ, Decent Band. Has an after Hours Bar adjoined Bedrock Reasonable party crowd at weekends *Mid
Bushido Was meant to be Buddha Bar until The name was rejected on Religious grounds. Good place to go if you have money to Burn.

Amazing interior (That has to be seen) VIp, VVIp, VVVVVVVVip sections etc. *Unknown, but would suggest Clean or Higher Class Mid!

Brazil Lounge Decent Small bar above the restaurant. Good atmosphere, Decent DJ. Worth a Visit. *clean
Block 338Resturant, but Avoid the food! It's main appeal is The Beer garden, pretty much one of the only ones here. A good size, Drinks can be pricey, but worth it for the garden. *clean
Clubs
Klub 360 Pretty much the only decent club here now. Opens from 8pm, good DJ, Commercial music. Strict entry (Shirt n Shoes) Has a very Busy after hours bar on the next floor up. *Clean
Tabu Still open, but pretty much off everybody's radar. Very Bright (White with Blue Lighting) DJ's, Promotions etc *Mid - Filth.
Closures
Cocoon Lounge Used to be the place to go, but since change of management has gone down hill & as far as i'm aware, has Changed its name & opened as a filipino bar. *expect filth
Diamond Sky Opened it's doors a few months back in a blaze of glory promising to change the clubbing scene in Bahrain with a DJ from 'Ibiza'. Nobody cared, Nobody went. Closed after 3 weeks.
Of course there are others! Hope this Helps!

Filth?
JJs has to be the most boring pub I've ever been to, almost as depressing as the airport bar. |

Filth = The chances of bumping into one of Bahrain's working girls. ie: Very High.
Regarding JJS, I guess it depends what your comparing it with & what your agenda for the evening is (See Above!)
Bahrain is hardly Ibiza, so excitement levels are unlikely to Peak anywhere on the island, although Manama did make No2 on the Sin cities list last month, up from No8 3 years ago!

As an alternative you could buy a bottle of that well-known whisky McAndrew's for 4.5BD and drink it in your room.
Trance music, no idea. |

Hi Littlejam, Yeah the Coral beach club (Now called Coral Bay)is still open (Karim is not there any more), It's still pretty busy in the day, they have a DJ spinning by the pool every day (Playing Soulful & Deep house)
Ministry of sound will be there on the 30th May & the F1 parties were fantastic!
As for your other Question regarding, Trance, techno & Trap etc. Unfortunatly not at present. Due to the goings on of the past few years, there really arn't enough western expats left here to make that a viable option. Any club here will have a soundalike playlist of Pitbull, Flo Rida, Guetta & Psy! |

The post at the top of the page is accurate, so says this two year Bahraini expat and Alcoholic
I think the best night out is at DC's at diva hotel. It's a real mix of classic rock, pop and hip hop from the band though. Tasteful level of prostitutes.
If you like to sit outside, in the same area as block 338 is the new Lanterns. Very good Indian food, excellent garden with AC units and that weird water vapor cooling system, no filth and chilled out. I bought a teetotal Christian couple there for a meal and they found nothing to object to with the clientele or the atmosphere. Get there before seven and they have very cheap drinks (for Bahrain). And they give you free poppadoms!
Also, down the road from here try Camalots Excellent wine tating night, great steaks and a cosy, if smokey, bar lounge.
There is a place called Klub 360 which I hate but is a sort of classy nightclub. Also check out Skybar in Diva hotel, swanky open air bar/club on the roof. Full of plastic people and often need to bring a girl to get in though. |

Looks like you might need a good Drying-out Clinic soon. Hard to find in the Gulf ! |

I could be wrong here, but we had a gay colleague about 8 months ago who would go to Wendy`s every weekend for the 'scene'. Perhaps it has changed a little?
Either there or some other place in the Gulf gate. |
