Bare knuckle and rudimentary set-up, the word comfort and atmosphere don’t come to mind if looking at the set up. Old model TVs, depending on its age, different picture qualities, while none of the bigger sized (not very big size though) tvs show a standard resolution or brightness. Went there only because of their operating hours, opening at 7 a.m. to watch the UFC PPV broadcast in company, while I could watch at home due to my True Vision subscription. In the past, various disappointments, mostly caused by the wannabe (wallabies) manager in the morning. First, when coming to watch the replay of London event, which was at 2 a.m. in the morning, he started broadcast at 7 a.m., but only with the third fight of the main card, he skipped the first 2, when mentioning it, he dismissed by comment, when trying to show him the main card, he didn’t even look at it, saying, leave it to me, the session naturally ended after 3 fights, not the 5 fights scheduled. Another visit, I did some Rocky Road at home and brought some with me to give to my friend. He opened it, and you don’t believe it, this manger grabbed one and out it in his mouth, I was speechless. So the Abu Dhabi event, sending a message to the establishment, at what time the replay would be shown, the response, as the fights would be past their operating hours, the main card would be shown at 7 a.m., here the word main card was of importance. I watched the prelims at home through my UFC subscription, here the word prelim is important. Arriving a bit early at 6.45 a.m., I sat outside as I was told, not ready with the set up yet. My friend arrived and we were invited in, taking our seats at the usual spot. TVs were switched on, with the usual difficulties of getting connections to each. The show started and he mentioned he would start with he last fight of the early prelims, which as per him, was the fight with the only participating Indian fighter, as both of us had watch all of the prelims, that was old news. I mentioned, there wasn’t any early prelims last night, he responded very impolite, its me who knows what was and is shown and I should stay out of it. I asked him, when he would start the main card, and he said he would start the prelims at 7.30 a.m. as he had informed so through various channels. I mentioned, that I got a message from his establishment, that the main card will commence at 7 a.m., he responded by saying, he did not send that message. I tried to show him the message on my phone, which he avoided to do. I said, it’s from I-Rovers, as shown on top of the iPhone screen, by Facebook messenger, he turned his head away. As I wasn’t willing to go through 3 hours of fights I had already seen, I packed my stuff and left, leaving my friend behind, and gave him a happy F… y…...

Read moreI came to this place from a friend's recommendation. I was here today to watch the AFL grand final. It was very busy as the Bledisloe cup Rugby between AUS v NZ and the AFL grand final was on at the same time. This is where the problem is. There are multiple screens showing both games with more screens showing the AFL. It was very clear most people came to watch the AFL. The issue is commentary from both games was on loud at the same time which ruined the watching experience. Why not have the back corner with rugby on so people who want to watch the rugby can watch the game in peace and listen to the commentary, all you need is to be a couple of metres away from the screen and you can hear it clearly while the rest can watch the AFL and still have the commentary volume loud which would have been a better experience and enjoyable for all. Im pretty sure the owner had the remote in there hand who walked past me and put the rugby volume up. Seriously the person who did that could clearly hear that both games commentary on at the same time was not a good idea. Now for the food thst i ordered. I ordered the chicken salad which was very average, why? The sauce outweighed the salad and ruined the dish. Never put sauce on a salad! Serve it in a cup on the side and let the customer put as much or as little as they want. Im in the hospitality industry back in Melbourne. These little things could be avoided, its common sense. I left at halftime and watched the 2nd half at another pub. In all honesty its a good place in general and yes I will be back. This is my honest feedback and opinion. Like I said as a business owner myself its these feedbacks that make us better and improve in areas where we...
