LQ, or Latin Quarter to be precise, is the latest arrival on the Bahrain nightlife scene. But this bar is little bit better than the rest. The long bar in this Latino-themed drinking den is superbly stocked, although the emphasis is on gin-based cocktails. Don’t pass up the fruit-flavoured mojitos – melon, passion fruit, strawberry and raspberry are all present and correct, although being in Bahrain and all you really can’t leave without knocking back a bullfrog.

When hunger pangs kick in, there are some unusual bar snacks on offer – green banana chips with chilli and lime, tiger prawns, or perhaps you’d prefer pineapple caramelised with ginger and served with a touch of pina colada. Not yet ready to call it a night? No worries – order another drink, sink into a well-upholstered chair and watch the Latino band sing and strut their funky stuff on the small stage. LQ proves that Bahrain’s bar scene has potential – someone has done their homework here and it shows.
