On the corner of a nondescript street in downtown Doha, tucked away inside one of the city's many five-star hotels, Claw BBQ restaurant is coming to life.
Not that you'd know it from the outside. Standing on the street, you wouldn't have a clue that one of Qatar's most popular watering-holes is just a stone's throw away. Its windows are blacked out, its walls are layered with sound-proofing, and there are no signs pointing you in the right direction. You can't even see it on Google Street View.
Like all establishments that serve alcohol in Qatar, Claw BBQ is deliberately hidden. It's not until you pass the security screening at the hotel's entrance and deliberately look around that you spot its simple glass door and small branded sign.
