When it is allowed to be a sports bar, it is outstanding.
The second time I went there, there was a queue of people waiting
to get past a bouncer so they could experience yet another over-
amplified rock band.  How is anyone supposed to watch a game with
all that going on?

The third time I went there was a Tuesday, when it was supposed to
be just a sports bar.  Every commercial, and both intermissions (of
the hockey game), they turned off the TV sound and had some "DJ"
either blast his "music" at us or blather on about all the fun we
were going to have until 2 am, starting as soon as the game was done.
That really got most of the crowd to LEAVE as soon as the game was
done!

As a sports bar, when they let it be one, it has outstanding
facilities -- lots of screens, fairly sophisticated switching
to show nearly a dozen signals simultaneously, good decor, etc.

I suppose this "split personality" helps SJL to make more money,
which is the name of the game.

There's another so-called sports bar called Sharks, in the SJ 
Town & Country shopping center, with minimal facilities.  The
ONLY time I went there, they cranked up an extremely loud disco
(is there any other kind?) on the upper floor, making the place
useless.
