Just read this on Dohanews Where to watch the 2014 World Cup in Qatar - Doha News and I am now ringing around all the places charging QR165 etc entry to see which ones will actually serve alcohol after 1am. So far 0.

Does anyone know anywhere serving after 1am else I may aswell stay at home or go somewhere free with a bottle of *special water*.

Update. Champions closing at 2am regardless, so you get to watch the 1st half.........

Better to stay home and enjoy it mate.
Btw I might as well ask the question here than start a new thread, the opening ceremony is tomorrow night at 11.30 pm UAE time...right?

sounds about right, KO is 00:00 I think.

There's not anywhere for the 1.00am games mate and that rules out Englands opener as well .

I might pitch up somehwere next Thursday for the England game as it's a 10pm kick off, will have to choose carefully mind because it will be rammo everywhere and i'm not one for waiting around to get served .

The St Regis have turned the Jazz club into a venue but it will be a 60 QR a pint job to say the least and no cheering or having fun.

The usual Qatar restrictions

There is one venue for Englands game where you will still be able to drink. Paloma are serving until 2am and you can order enough then to see you through the last half. I booked a table - No entrance fee, Winner

3.15pm local time - which is 10.15pm Dubai time

I'm guessing you don't have to start early tomorrow? Damn my 7:30 am start! If you're going to watch some of the games which are shown at a more reasonable hour I may see if I can join you - buy you a beer for a seeing all of my emails 👍

I will hold you to that. I got driven into work at 1130, It still felt too early...........
