When it eventually opened the lager turned my stomach, it was literally disgusting. Not clean at all, the equipment wasn't clean with pipes going into dirty jugs of beer. The staff couldn't keep up with a mild walk never mind a room full of people! And to add to it there was continuous amounts of Romanians trying to enter our private party to vote for a presidential election in there country which had nothing to do with our party, which was incredibly uncomfortable. I wo"
