A place not to visit, not even for shisha: Alanya Cafe & Bar (13. January 2023)
I was looking for a place, which would serve shisha. And it turned out to be quite a tricky endeavour. Either, it would be a pseudo-fancy place where you could only get a shisha if you were buying a bottle of hard liquor, or then it would be something like this. The Alanya Cafe & […]
Great drinks in a modern atmosphere: W Lounge @ W Algarve (4. January 2023)
As I had originally considered staying at the W Algarve instead of the Pine Cliffs, I decided to give the W Algarve a try as well when I drove by the last time. So, it was time to find the W Lounge and get a drink. The place was quite empty, so you could just […]
A lovely place for a brief stop before going to enjoy dinner: Cafe Bar 22 (3. January 2023)
If you’re looking for a small place which offers simple, but lovely drinks in a cosy atmosphere, then I can definitely recommend you to take a sip at the Cafe Bar 22. The place is small (about 5–6 tables inside), but is somewhat lovely in terms of interior design. The guys running the place seem […]
Decent shisha, but not the smartest service: Restaurant Chifty (11. December 2022)
Chifty is nice in the warmer months, when you can sit outside and enjoy your shisha there. It’s also okay when you are in the cooler months, since you can smoke your “Double Apple Nakhlar” (175.00 SAR) shisha inside. And while the atmosphere is quite nice, it is rather cold (cooled down via AC) and […]
An amazing view all over the sea with outstanding drinks: Hidden Bar (9. December 2022)
The Hidden Bar is quite a lovely place, which is has a nice view if you manage to get a table by the water front. The bar is known for its gin selection and definitely worth visiting for that. I went for a “Keeps The Doctor Away (Crafters’ London Dry, Apple Liquor, Green Apple)” (75.00 […]
Lovely place for a shisha stop: مزة عنب كافيه (8. November 2022)
With time, I’m finding more and more shisha places in Riyadh, and this one is actually pretty nice. I have no clue what the name of the place stands for, however, the “double apple shisha” (60.00 SAR) is good. After the initial small incident where the shisha guy didn’t put enough water was corrected, the […]
A little hidden Burlesque bar with exquisite drinks: Melt Bar (21. October 2022)
Melt is a Burlesque bar and one of a kind. If you go in before 7pm, you get in for free. Else, there is an entrance fee, and there is almost a sure need to have a reservation. Luckily, we arrived 2 minutes before 7, so we still got in for free. The Melt is […]
The perfect rooftop bar for shisha: Restaurant Chifty (17. October 2022)
And, since it’s so close, it was also the second time to visit the Chifty, where the “coal waiter” was even better than two days ago, since he made sure to set the temperature and the coals in a way that the shisha was actually super smooth. The “Double Apple Mixed” (170.00 SAR) was quite […]
