Belgian Cafe

Top choice in Doha


One of the few casual pubs in Doha, Belgian Cafe gets packed to the rafters on Thursday and Friday nights. The crowds are here for the imported Belgian ale and other European beers, great bar food (classic mussels or waffles) and laid-back atmosphere. There's a large smoking area out back.

The decent happy hour runs between 12.30pm and 6.30pm daily, with beers from QR30.
