> Tables and Chairs: 9-seat tables with decent (red!) felt and vinyl.
> soft executive office chairs with cool leather and nice padding.

> Parking: A large amount of parking 86 spots, are available in this

> Smoking: No smoking allowed in the building under California law.

> Service and Comps
> a full time service from a waitress
> The bar/restaurant are separated by a hallway

> significant discounts and some free items on the hearty American fare
available
> Outlaws: hamburgers, steaks, etc, and very cheap while you play.
