inflated prices proper bar
i was initially pleased with the location, it was quite central. however, the lack of a proper bar was a major letdown. i expected beer on tap, especially since i remembered it fondly from a previous visit.. instead, only cans were available, which seemed like a downgrade. also, the prices for these cans seemed inflated, comparable to pub prices for a proper pint.
