Same old question, Same old answer
[QUOTE=Peruvian] I am looking for some early evening action (5pm to 7pm approx) in Dubai and it will have to be incall as I will not be in a positon to go back to my house.
What bars or coffee shops should I be looking for at those times or am I wasting my time? [/QUOTE] Broadway Hotel Coffee Shop and Jockey’s and TGIT. Search on these tags for more info. I can’t [i]remember[/i] any recent TGIT reports however.
[QUOTE=Piper1]Speaking of paying extra, BC mentions the increasing incidence of girls in clubs offering hourly rates. [/QUOTE]The Source – referring mainly to the way changes impact visitors rather than residents.
Here are my observation on the way things have changed over the past two years.[list][*]The bar scene has become more fluid and some normally reliable bars can be very sparse some evenings.[*]Price inflation has certainly taken hold, entry fees and drink prices have risen considerably. The price of a night at the Rattler has more than doubled in the past year, but for the short term visitor it’s not going to make a significant dent.[*]Inevitably the girls are asking for more, increased rent, increased LE risk (real or perceived) and the weak dollar all driving the price up. Again for a one off a couple of hundred extra AED is not going to break the bank. Visitors from Europe, if converting back to Euros or Pounds will hardy notice the rises.[*]There are more “professional” attitudes and less GFE, at least that is the way it seems to me, I seldom pull these days but have encountered “price per hour” quotes.[*]Metro construction, taxi shortages, squeeze on parking space and the traffic have made life more difficult for all and can impact on enjoyment[/list]
