Tonight in Doha
What's actually happening tonight, on a schedule
Hotel rooftop lounges, shisha and cultural cafes, dhow cruises on the Corniche, live music and dinner shows, and where to eat late, the recurring happenings that run on a fixed clock, every night of the week.
Alcohol in Qatar is served only in licensed hotel venues and a small number of members' clubs, never in standalone public bars, and standalone shisha cafes are alcohol free (https://www.qatarliving.com/en/article/best-shisha-lounges-in-doha-indoor-evening-spots). August is still deep summer, and Time Out's Doha bars listing currently marks The Secret Garden at Marsa Malaz Kempinski as closed for summer and Walima at Mondrian Doha as closed during summer, so confirm seasonal venues before going (https://www.timeoutdoha.com/food-drink/best-bars-in-doha-qatar). Souq Waqif itself trades Sat to Thu 10:00 to 14:00 and 15:00 to 23:00 and Fri 10:00 to 12:00 and 15:00 to 23:00 (https://www.timeoutdoha.com/things-to-do/things-to-do-at-night-in-doha).
