"Workers in Dubai Media City have just three months to wait until the free zone begins to offer its first venue for out-of-hours socialising. In December, Radisson SAS will open the first hotel within the DMC campus, housing three restaurants and three bars, marking the end of a four-year ‘dry’ period for the media zone."
However, the outlets are reported to be:
• "Italian restaurant and a fusion diner with a 'vibrant and trendy' bar."
• "Mezzanine bar, which will serve Spanish tapas, will transform into a trendy nightspot in the evenings."
• "A rooftop terrace lounge with views of The Palm."
I'd like to know why the third one isn't going to be trendy. And, I can't help thinking an honest-to-goodness Irish Village style boozer would have gone down better.

I'd also vote for a good old pub, but I guess I'd vote for a Scottish one since I lived there for a number of years. But then I don't know if there are any significant differences between an Irish and a Scottish pub. I guess the Irish and the Scots could at least agree that it shouldn't be an English pub ;-)
