A Taste of Beverley Hills pic in listings
Can’t make it to LA? Never mind, Hollywood’s coming to us in the shape of a pop-up from Wolfgang Puck. The man who caters the Oscars, and already has two rather fab eateries at Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, is sending his original diner, Spago, to Bahrain on November 8 and 9.
Enjoy the inventive, market-driven menus, buzzing atmosphere and exceptional service. The two-day pop-up event will transform CUT by Wolfgang Puck steakhouse into a faithful representation of this iconic eatery.
Each and every detail of the Spago experience will be authentically recreated, from the cocktail list to the staff uniforms and – most excitingly – the two-Michelin-starred cuisine by chef Tetsu Yahigi, who will be flying in from the States to cook up a storm in the kitchen alongside executive chef Brian Becher. Excited much?
It’s A Knockout!
Well, hopefully there won’t be any actual knockouts. But Fight Night is back for round five and we know at least one of the lovely ladies we interviewed before the last event will be in the ring again at Crowne Plaza when the boxing tournament returns on November 1.
We love that the organisers at Lift and Bahrain Boxing Club take great pains to make sure there are some female bouts on the card at each of these events. And we’re even more impressed that there are so many women willing to give it a go.
Head down and show your support. We may well see you there.
Headbangin’ Heaven
If you like your music loud and your metal heavy (is there any other way?), then you’re in for a treat on Heavy Metal night at Republiq Lounge! Head down on November 19 for a night of metal mayhem featuring three killer bands and possibly even more. The day after is a public holiday so you have no excuse not to show up and bang your head all night long!
On stage will be Bloodshel – classic Bahrain heavy metal from a band who’ve just released their album Phase One and are always ready to put on a cracking performance. There’s also thrash metal pioneers Motor Militia. Get yourself a copy of their new album World in Flames, it will pound you into submission. And, after a few years off, Rain In Hell return to performance with their unique brand of extreme metal.
Christmas is Coming
The holiday season is, indeed, inbound — and that means it’s time for the annual festive fairs and a chance to get your hands on some bargains at the same time as supporting good causes. Awali Festive Fayre is at the Bapco Club on November 10 and the following week the American Women’s Association is at The Diplomat. November 30 is ladies-only day at the BSPCA Thrift Shop where there’ll be designer frocks, jewellery and other goodies on offer. And on the same day there’s a big boutique sale with designer duds and Christmas goodies at Bahrain Rugby Club, from the ladies who run the Dogfather’s second-hand shop. See, plenty of opportunities to bag a bargain.
Superstar Sisters
Coral Bay welcomes sisters Mim and Liv Nervo, of NERVO. The pair have written floor fillers for the likes of David Guetta and Kelly Rowland, Aoki and Kylie Minogue and their viral hit Best Friend has become the official iPhone X launch song with 30 million views on YouTube and 40 million streams on Spotify. Turn up and tune in on November 29 to hear for yourself what all the fuss is about.
