Only in Abu Dhabi!

What about the worlds biggest off licence, cant they build that?

The one in Um Al Quain must be close. Biggest booze shop I've ever been in

Tell me more about this...

The Barracuda...well worth a visit but be careful if tracking back through Sharjah

scrubbedexpat141

Sorry, didn't realise they were one and the same. Not been though. Got a license so not feeling the need to go to Barracuda.

Might go though just to stock up and see it.

Miss Anne Thrope

Much cheaper and much better selection than the Dubai rip-off shops (worst being Dubai Duty Free)...

Are you kidding me?

A litre of Captain Morgan's rum (alright it's not my fave but it's good) for 8 quid in Duty Free.

That's a steal.

QR128 here for that. Even in QDC (Our booze shop) its expensive.

Last night cost QR1500, Guinness is QR264 for a case, Savannah Dry is QR199

Still Its better than QR50 a can of Guinness in the Rotana

**** a duck. I refuse to go to Yacht Club anymore after I found out Guinness was 42 dibs a pint.

Savannah Dry is a great shout. Might go hunting for that.

I usually buy a crate of whatever is on offer....normally Heineken and a few bottles of London Pride.

They never have offers here either. The best Value is the Dry Wine, 5 litres for QR120 so I just drink that by the pint instead.

Ever thought about becoming a full time alcoholic?

Miss Anne Thrope

Must be a loss leader. DDF prices in general, not just for booze, are a rip-off. Certainly all the wine I have compared is far more expensive there.

Work gets in the way unfortunately and the fact I can only last about 3 days on the beer and I need a day off.

And to be a proper alcoholic you need to be able to down a bottle of spirit for breakfast. If I did that I would have a scrap then fall asleep for the rest of the day.

scrubbedexpat141

Hmm, I don't buy wine at DDF, only if I've done a day trip to Qatar or something, then I get a couple of bottles of red and just take the hit.

Scrap with yourself?

I bet you, the first pint, that you can't down 3 pints for breakfast one day.



PS: Love the fact a thread about a giant gate turned into a booze discussion at post #2.
