Bahrain is small and you can't drive out because you need a transit visa from Saudi to go through to Qatar or the UAE.
There is lots to do, vibrant life there, movie theaters, nightclubs - but on weekends the place fills with Saudis looking for entertainment. For instance, because movie theaters are not allowed in Saudi, some 80% of the people in the theaters will be Saudi (but the movie is just as good, honestly!).
People I know who have lived in Bahrain liked it.
