Screen Setup & Sound
The screens are well-placed, giving everyone a decent view of the match. You won’t miss a single penalty or contentious offside call. The sound blares just right — loud enough to celebrate but not deafening, perfect for the pub banter that comes with every goal. It feels like a proper pub experience, where the love for the game is palpable.
Seating & Layout
