oh, everything.

I know, the UAE government visited Holland last year to see how the tax system here works. 11 to 16% (an unofficial rumor on every thing) increase at once? That's going to cause some angry reactions within the UAE if it ever passes the design tables. I guess those thief's calling themselves landlords will just simply add it to the rent prices.

Not sure if it counts (as it comes in a bottle) but I heard a pint of magners was 42dhs in Aussie Legends and 47dhs in The Music Room!

I also went to Waxy's a couple of weeks ago for the brunch and was disappointed to learn that if I wanted a pint of Guinness it would cost me 2 (of my 5) drinks vouchers!!

It's quite a large place. Lots of live bands. Mostly an older crowd the 2 times I've been. It's ok but does seem to attract a few weirdos.

From the website...

Showcases the best live music in town, featuring spectacular live bands jazzing it up every evening for musical entertainment to remember. Listen to the best live rock music in the country while enjoying a few drinks or shoot a few games of billiards.
