Our only requirement of our guests is that they are nice and friendly. (Our licence requires one other thing, that you must be over 18 years of age). Why not enter a team into our weekly quiz every Thursday at 9 pm when large cash prizes are on offer.
Mon - Thurs & Sun: noon - 11pm, Fri - Sat: noon - midnight.
