General Comments
Observed a mother and young child (10 y.o.?) walking through the pokie room to access the toilet. Woman was engaged by the venue staff upon leaving and told of other entrance through the Bar and TAB. There was a sign for a female toilet at the back of the TAB. Guessing that she took the pokies route due to the clientele one can observe from the street at the public bar / TAB side of this venue.
Sign in front of the venue seems to need repair. See recent photo.
Full view of pokie room every time automated door opens.
