Went to this bar that is right beside our hotel in Doha (it is located in the Alwadi Hotel in Msheireb area).
The view and the music vibe was great (chill house music… more closer to disco house).
For drinks got an Aperol Spritz and Canadian Club
Zengo Doha
We went here for drinks at sunset, but ended up being pleasantly surprised on several levels.
First, this is located in the 2nd building in Doha, and is on the 61st floor that has an excellent view of the Lusail area of Doha, and also a good sunset view.
For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz and a double shot of Canadian Clib (which their shot is close to an American one at 40ml, and at 13.50 USD). Both great.
For food got the Lobster roll. Also really good.
Tulum (Doha)
After visiting a mall in Dubai, we decided to check out this restaurant for drinks. It is conveniently located in a Marriott hotel (and you get a 20% discount for being a Marriott Bonvoy Gold member).
For drinks got an Aperol Spritz and a Glenfidech 12 neat.
For appetizers, got the lollipop chicken. Would probably not get that again.
Overall like the vibe and the drinks, so would come back.
Heritage Grand
We went here for dinner to satisfy a pizza craving.
From a friend who went to Tulum, apparently the. One of the restaurant is like every restaurant in Tulum.
For drinks, ordered an Aperol spritz.
For food, ordered a pepperoni and sausage Neapolitan pizza and a penne with shrimp pasta. Both great choices. (FYI we were going to order calamari, but yelp mentioned not to order it!).
Would come back to this place in a heart beat.
5 Terre Amsterdam Italian Restaurant
Ate here for a quick bite for Italian food (also near our hotel in Amsterdam).
Got the ravioli and an aperol spritz. Would come back here for a quick bite.
Lido
This restaurant was close to our hotel. I think it was good for drinks, but definitely not recommended for food.
The restaurant is by the water which is nice (although you can get foo led if sitting outside).
Ordered the truffle ravioli, and loaded fries. Wasn’t a huge fan of either.
Bagatella
Tried this restaurant in the Marina district in San Francisco. Would definitely come back.
First, their bread was really good. It was fresh, and the garlic butter in came with was great.
For drinks got an Aperol Spritz.
For appetizer, got the meatballs and the gnocchi. Both great.
For my main course, got the seafood linguini. Also great, but wished the scallops were the larger ones (they were just bay scallops).
Finished off with key lime pie. No complaints there.
Rosemary’s Midtown
Grabbed Saturday brunch with some friends from New York at this place.
Got an espresso martini without any sweetener plus an Aperol spritz. Both were great.
For food, got the pesto pasta, the pappardelle verde, potatoes, French toast, and mushroom sausage pizza. All of it was great, and would get them again.
This place is a chain with locations through New York. This location gets Hampton people going to it apparently.
Note: didn’t take any photos for some reason, so all the below pics are from yelp.
The Standard Biergarten
We pregamed here before going to a day EDM event on. Saturday afternoon.
Normally I wouldn’t really care for Biergartens, but I would say I liked this one. The people, the vibe, and the drinks were good.
For drinks, I didn’t get any beer, but instead did an Aperol spritz. For food, got the Mac and cheese balls. That was great. Also tried the pretzel, which was a good snack.
One other thing we did was do a ski-shooter with Jameson. That was fun.
Note: next time don’t buy so many drink tickets since they can only be used for beer and food (like only get 2 or 3 next time, not 6). Also might be interested to try their actual restaurant next time (called The Standard).
Versa
This is an indoor rooftop / restaurant.
We stopped by this place after work for drinks and a quick / light dinner. Got a version of an Aperol spritz, except it was also strawberry infused. I liked it.
For food for their ribs and pork bao bun. Both were great.
Only thing I’d change for next time is for us to try and sit in the outside rooftop portion, and not in the dining area (they ran out of space in the outside portion).
