    OK, I know the Why Not bar/club is a well-established venue, but for the sake of a 'First Time' visitor to the bar/club in the evening, here's my retrospective...

    Went on Friday night at 10pm. Place started to fill up around 11pm. Service was typically slow and the beers were not that cold (a pet hate of mine) but not overly expensive and for a small venue it didn't seem that over crowded etc.

    Music was actually pretty good, although like so many DJ's nowadays who like to 'showboat', the guy couldn't resist interfering with the tunes and changing/mixing songs too frequently.

    A good mix of locals and foreigners. Most were sat around chatting in small groups and (typically) staring into their drinks or their phones. (another pet hate):banghead:

    Myself & wife had a good time. It's not an intimidating place and we both chatted to several foreigners, locals and 'freelancers' alike. All friendly, no trouble and certainly a reasonable place to go do your 'John Travolta thing', should you feel the need. 7/10.

    Send a couple back and they learn very quickly to bring out the cold ones for you. Or tell them when you order that you want a very cold beer. They have them but they reserve them for the regular customers who complain about warm beer. :wink:

    I am guilty of the phone thing. I go there to play billiards, I'm not good enough to win every game so while I wait for the next game I have nothing much else to do. Not interested in the music or chatting with the ladies.
