No, surely the Armani Hotel in Burj Khalifa would be much nicer. Only 75dhs for a lager I suspect and a bag of crisps at only 50dhs.:thumbup:

don't be so judgemental darling... why would you say a bar in a hotel was "poncy" when you have never been there? Poncy is relative darling, just because a bar is nice with a chilled atmosphere, over looking the fountains and with stunning views of the Burj Khalifa
Inverted snobbery springs to mind!!...and before you ask............

Definition of inverted snobbery
noun
[mass noun] derogatory

the attitude of seeming to despise anything associated with wealth or social status, while at the same time elevating those things associated with lack of wealth and social position.
