“Det började en och halv timme försenad som är kritiskt på nyårsafton, sedan tog de med sig en flock på 50-60 personer till en mörk, smutsig, efterbliven lokal som säkert skulle rivas snart. De gav ut små plastkopp och säger "Supa!" Öl hälls upp av 2 personer såå långsamt. Alla köar till sin öl i 10-15 min. Efter nästan 30 minuters kö stod jag inte ut och gick iväg. Och det här på nyårsafton! Det var för sent att leta efter ett bord någon annanstans. Förstört kväll. Tycker detta är ett stort bedrägeri och i mitt land sådant skulle förbjudas med rätts åtgärder därefter. Det här är ovärdigt och skamligt…”
