Backyard

Top choice in Doha


Set in a lush garden under trees, and lit with fairy lights, this place has a different feel from the other bars in Doha. It hosts acoustic sets, which guests listen to on garden benches or floor blankets, and has a chilled-out vibe. When international DJs play, it turns into more of a festival atmosphere.

The dress code is come as you are. Entry is free for women before 7.30pm.
