...to party (quietly...)

Not a great ruling for Dubai clubs...

Chi, 360, Rooftop, Barasti and others maybe drastically affected with this. Not sure how this can be applied to gigs like 50 Cent etc...

louder music and longer opening hours is what I say...

how are 'they' going to market Dubai as 'the place to be' with all this sort of stuff going on...or no stuff come to think of it....

Watch property values here in Dubai slide if bureaucratic nonsense like this gets wider media coverage...I cannot see the likes of Victoria Becham wanting to come here, bless her cotton socks.

Oh this country doesnt know what it wants.

It wants to be an international tourist/buisness hotspot and then it wants another thing

I wonder why they are doing this now???

Barasti are on final warning from the police - too much load music and fighting.

Cham128

need to bring in more rules like that then if it keeps the riff raff like her away

Really? I haven't seen many fights here (two, in fact, in three years)... and neither of them have been at 5 star hotel bars....

Seen a load of trouble in there in recent months - not noticed the increased security presence on weekends?

Fridays seem to be worst.

To be honest have not been for a couple of months.... Nor am likely too if it's full of bolshie chavs exporting their loutishness.

Autonomy

liked it a lot more before the Miami / Ibeefa make over...

shakh your bootie

What the UAE lacks is an "alternative" / underground scene....

MataHari

it's a horrible place...

shakh your bootie

It's ok for the young folks... Bit of a cattle market, really....

MataHari

seem to be lots of old guys that like it...

shakh your bootie

Old guys shopping for fresh meat, one imagines. But it's higher up the evolutionary ladder than going whoring.
