1. I get that there is very very much wrong with capitalism and consumerism, but when it starts eating away at the austere, conservative, repressive attitudes found in various countries then I’ll gladly take it.

2. Now do LGBTQ and women’s rights

3. Someone, somewhere is extremely proud of this title.

4. It’s a trap

5. Glimpses, possibly, of Islam moving into the 18th century?

6. This is paywall, though.

   Anyway, even UAE is getting more liberal these days.

7. Cheers! Although liquor has been served in the higher -end hotels in the UAE and Qatar for years, catering to the comforts of western diplomats and businesspeople.

8. I wonder if they’ll extra spice it with evil by only allowing alcohol to men.

9. City built on slavery gets a brewery. Wooptie do

10. Now all they need is Free the Nipple!

11. Everyone I speak to from these countries has all said they knew a guy and it was their families alcohol guy. They would just buy alcohol from him rather than a business and it was so commonplace that the laws just did not make sense.

12. Still not an interesting place.

13. The head on that pint is shameful

14. That’s a shame

15. I love paywalled stuff, keep posting…

16. Great to see Craft getting some publicity. Tasty beer and food

17. Conservative laws on alcohol is one of the few good things about Traditional Muslim countries. Access to alcohol benefits no one. It’s poison

18. Garbage city

19. If alcohol is allowed then Abu Dhabi shouldn’t be a Muslim city nor citizen be Muslim.
