Doha or Bahrain for one day?
 
I'm planning a MR that will give me about a day in either Doha or Bahrain. Flights price out at about the same. Which is better from a sight-seeing perspective? I'm interested in museums/cultural tourism rather than shopping.

Also, I'd like to have a drink or two in the evening. I gather Bahrain is better for that sort of thing .. ?
