Acceptable But Could Improve

easy accessloud barlimited options
The bar got quite loud on Saturday night I had to sit in the hall since speakers blared football matches there. Tables were small and easy blew in I found this not very accomodating. Vegetarian food options were also limited to only a veg curry.
