as a celt of Scottish origin and Highland origin let it known I can say its welcoming picture in this unrelenting heat. But I would be sitting there in my undies.

Hey just go to Northern Canada, and you can do that for free, minus the cost of your own drinks. That looks like what my buddies and I did when we went hunting for rabbits.

I also hear the customer service there sucks. You kinda get the 'cold' shoulder from the staff.

But why would you want to sit there(Are they on a block of ice?)with those silly outfits on?

What do they do with the bar in the winter time?

That doesn't look comfortable or appealing at all. Rather have a cushy seat and AC with my drink.
