Rockin Z's is a good live music place.
The bar in Hotel California is a dirty dive but probably the onyl one open all night.
Sherlock Holmes at Gulf Hotel is ok but excessively smokey atmos makes it really uncomfortable for non smokers.
A good all rounder is 'Fiddler's Green' in Radisson Dimplomat. Same hotel has a nice quiet spot on top floor too.
Alot of the bars have the usual smattering of "me love you long time's"...not hard to find although it never ceases to amaze me how some fellas pay 100BD / 265 USD for a clapped out, high mileage fluff with a face like Kim Jong Il and the attitude to match!
