Bottle shop Bahrain
Is it true.... It's shut? Been a while since my last Bahrain visit, surely not.

On my last visit they were restricting access. Moves from the Pious Ones to stop the "Liquor Trade". Quite right too !

Terminology is intersting. In Central Africa ( post Federation !) they used to call them "Bottle Stores" A colonial expression ? Or maybe imported from India !

Re: Bottle shop Bahrain
Don't really see the point of these shops for KSA residents, you'd either have to drink it there or risk trying to take it back with you and getting deported etc. Or am I missing something??

I think it is for Saudi residents to avoid paying hotel prices for booze when they visit Bahrain.

Like Ronnie Biggs wrote, you can get it delivered to your house. If you make an order by 10 (or something like that), they will do same-day delivery. Except on Fridays, since they are shut.
A couple of other delivery sites:
GBI express- https://www.gbiexpress.com
African and Eastern- http://www.africanandeastern.com/
