How is this dump still in business? Power tripping bouncer for starters. Mate, there's nobody inside, what do they need you for? Horrible layout and the place is filthy. Had one beer here and that was one too many. You'll have a better time in the gutter than this hole.

This hotel is respectable in most things you could want. The staff are friendly, the food is tasty and the place is tidy. There were a large number of items on the menu, and the meals were decent for the price. The place did have a distinctly smoky smell to it, though, and you can't help but feel you've been to at least 10 other places exactly like this. Because of this, it's hard to note any standout features of my lunch experience. Without something to differentiate itself from the other corner pubs, I find myself unlikely to go out of my way to return.

Best place before go to the Stadium. The staff are very attentive and patience. And the beer is always very well served.
