Is it totally prudent to advertise the names of gay bars in Dubai?

While it has a reputation for being generally quite tolerant to those who are discreet, is less likely to tolerate an overt and well-advertised on the travel websites "gay friendly" bar.

I would imagine those who live there would prefer a "word-of-mouth" culture to be perpetuated; asking one of the better groomed flight attendants is a good suggestion, and who knows what that might lead to
