So yeah I'm jumping on the repost bandwagon here, and re-posting Muscat Mutterings blog post about extensive brutality and racism at Rock Bottom night club. I have to say I've hated Rock Bottom night club for a long time now. It's a miserable place with a disgusting "signature" drink, jerks who control the door and dance floor, and arsehole patrons who have bad attitudes.
I've only had one really good night there which I think was a Friday and there was only maybe 25 patrons of which I was with a group of 10, and I knew the dj which was really only why we all went.
The other 3 or 4 times I've been have been a bit pointless and not fun and another 1 or 2 times my group was turned away because someone had flip flops on or didn't have a woman to go in with him or some other completely trivial reason which I suppose leads them to believe their nightclub has a bit of exclusivity.
I never feel easy or relaxed in there. The bouncers seem to have a lot of rules. I once got a talking to for taking a picture of my husband but a friend of ours took a picture of my husband though and he didn't get a talking to...Cush was on a bit of a stormer that night and was very picture worthy.
Anyway that's my 2 cents worth. I would rather go to the Safari Bar at the Hyatt because they always have a good band and an alright crowd, and honestly I've never had a bad time there.
You can read Muscat Mutterings post here if you missed the above link. It's quite shocking, or I guess it would be quite shocking of you have never been to Rock Bottom or heard anything about it.
Got some rest...now for the back story.

Thanks for the reblog! :)
I got told off as well for taking pictures of my own sisters. The bouncer was so rude and had no sence of personal space.
Now I don't like the Safari bar because of all the hookers there. I know you get them in most of the bars here, but last time we went the place was full of them!!
I am new in Muscat, only went RocK Bottom once, it was very bad experience there too, bouncers were so rude and lady can't get in without paid, been told this club only for members! whats bullshit!
I hate Rock Bottom too, full of cheap hookers there!
I hate rock bottom
I walked through Safari Bar to go to the restroom once. Got groped by a drunk white expat on my way TO the restroom, then met several hookers IN the restroom.
Good times. :-P
