The place does lovely beer and food, serves mulled mead over the winter and has a bar billiards table. The only problem with holding a write-in there is that it does lovely beer and food, serves mulled mead over the winter and has a bar billiards table! _But_, if you can ignore the oh-so-attractive distractions then it's a lovely place to write.
