I used to go to Nell Gwynne's a lot. My mate plays in the band that were there. They are at the music rooms now.

Mcgettigans is alright.. Never heard of Rossi's.

Mind you I'm not really a big drinker anymore..3 pints drunk.

From a perfectly innocent question (about cheap UK bars in AD), I can't believe this thread degenerated into where to pick up a hooker.

It's not allowed in UAE is it?

Definitely not... but then this was after the 7s and it was the new RBs not the old one...

Commander - Rosso's is in Amwaj Rotana. It's a pizza/pasta place but with quite a big bar area so good for drinks. Has Peroni on tap which always appeals, nice atmosphere and when it's cooler a nice outdoor terrace.

Jockeys/York are a lot more than cheap bars...they are hooker joints. Nothing innocent about asking for their counterparts in Abu Dhabi.

And lots of things are not allowed in the UAE but go on anyway as with most countries.
