Paloma

Doha


Tex-Mex food, margaritas galore and a resident band, plus tribute acts (think Bon Jovi, Guns N’ Roses, ABBA and Queen). There's a happy hour between 5pm and 8pm offering around 30% off selected drinks, and a ladies' night, usually on a Wednesday, with a few free drinks for women. It used to be more popular, but has become a little shabby.
