2215 and the place is rammed with the footy crowd around the main entrance. I "escaped" to the rearmost seating area, which was deserted and had two swift halves of acceptable ales tonite. I only visit this place once a week, as not overly impressed with the selection, or rather, lack of it, these days.

1830 visit. Not too busy and, disappointingly, not a lot of guest ales on this visit. Very poor.
