Fit six mashed up people tops. The guy who owned the house was a reggae fanatic and rented out the rooms in the house. Great place to go after catching the last train home.

The smaller and lower key the place the fewer numbers in my book these days. Even the larger places, as you well know, don't really cater for groups of many more than two ... just end up looking like a pack of gaijin dogs on the prowl ;) Especially if you’re talking with other foreginers ….. a pair at most … if not solo.

We're going to give it our best! btw... the second post wasn't me but some weird spambot that stole my post. Notice that the link in "Eric's" name goes to some kind of retail site. Thanks, Neil.

It's not the cleanliness of the beer glass (for me anyway..I drink out the bottle) It's the quality of the company your sharing. We call em’

When you're seated it's easier to sit on a beer for longer and not to mention .. much less sociable. It also promotes drinking at a faster pace … everyone is a bit more alive.
