You haven't been to Irish Village have you? And a few other places I could name. There are some free-standing pubs that appear just the same as in Europe. But yes, most bars are in hotels.

As for weekends in Bahrain, they also do weekends in Dubai. It is comical to see the women on these flights. As soon as we take off from RUH, some of the them throw open their veils, put on some lipstick and grab a glass of wine.
