I'm sure I'll be able to make it for 20:00 as no work so no risk of working late!

Cheers!

I would say bit more of a Slug & Lettuce/All Bar One feel to it than Waxy's but probably similar kind of crowd to Waxy's and has live music quite often I think

Looks like we should link up with these guys - so Apres (bar in Mall of Emirates) it is:

Guys.

Welcome to Dubai, I have been here just over a month myself, and loving the place... In answer to some of the questions....

Waxy's well what can I say.... you have to go there even if it is only once, a Friday there can be a lot of fun, and involve a lot of drinking, but great way to meet new people if you have just arrived. Emirates Towers, is a much smarter place, more of a bar affair, and therefore I would say smarter dress, was there last weekend and had a good night,before ending up in the karaoke bar, which is also a lot of fun... if you are drunk!

I cant unfortunately make Thursday night, as I have some friends arriving from the UK but either tonight, Tuesday or Tomorrow Wednesday for a drink somewhere central is good for me. Not sure where you are all based... Also dont forget Thursday is a public holiday here... so a long weekend! Let me know guys and girls what you fancy doing!

Tee hee!! Thats going to annoy my little Irish friend who arrived here on her hols yesterday!! What about tomorrow (when I arrive) being as it's a holiday?

Thanks!

[Mac]

Yeah, I hope I can get a beer tomorrow when I arrive!

I have no idea. I would presume that you can't buy alcohol tomorrow either, because if they don't serve it the night before, what chance do you have them serving it on the actual holiday?
