Good happy hour suggestions
For this weekend? Nice place (not a dive), not too loud or crowded so we can have an actual conversation, good happy hour specials, both beer/wine/cocktails. Anywhere south of the Creek is workable. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated (too tired of too many packed and loud happy hours).

EE is a contender.
Know anything about Cafe Belge at the Ritz Carlton in DIFC? |

Re: Good happy hour suggestions
All bars are.
This time is a bit different because I'm meeting an acquaintance who has difficulty hearing when it's loud. So that's why I'm ruling out the usual suspects in favour of some place a bit less crowded or noisy. But I don't want a place that's deathly either. How crowded does EE get on, say, Friday 6ish?

No idea :lol: but even on quiz night (when it's at its busiest, it's alright on the hearing front).

A posh bar in Dubai. What did you expect?
Seems pretty reasonable to me. You pay similar prices in many places. FYI the Hobgoblin is 50 AED for a pint. At current exchange rates it's just above £10, not £12. Anyway, hoping the HH specials are a bit more reasonable.

I would have suggested Sidartha in the Grosvenor, but only if you are positioned near one of their AC units - they also do sheesha if you are into that.

Re: Good happy hour suggestions
If it's your local can you confirm how crowded/noisy it gets at 6ish tonight or tomorrow?
I really want to check out EE as haven't been there yet but as mentioned, friend has hearing issues and I don't want to drag him there to find out it's thumping.

Millhouse, next time you're heading down there, let me know. Sorry mate, it's not for you. It's for normal humans. |
