St Francis Hotel - Out South
Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2008 5:38 pm
We have several mentions about venues on these forums, but I wanted to put one in regards to St Francis because they seem to be a venue that listens and gives a red hot go to doing the right thing by NPL players.
So here goes:
Location:
14 Bridge Street
Reynella,5161 SA
Parking:
There is HEAPS of room for parking, the parking lot is very well lit allowing for safety.
Days
Tuesdays - 6:30pm sign in
Thursdays - 6:30pm sign in
Poker area:
We have a room that doesn't have heaps of foot traffic, so it makes for a fantastic atmosphere. There is HEAPS of room, so we are not all squashed in, shoulder to shoulder...
The only downside is it can be a little noisy when people are having a fun night. But having said that it adds to the atmosphere.
We have a separate bar area so you get served very quickly and the bar staff are so friendly and have tonnes of personality!
Meals:
Upscale
Meals are nice, but not pub quality.
Meaning they are not huge meals, they are nice meals served in a nice way.
If you want a nice meal out, try them, but don't go hungry looking to fill up.
HOWEVER...
This is where I believe they are evolving to accomodate players.
Lastnight when we went in, they had new signs up Schnitty and pint deal for $12.50
PLUS 4 stamps.
NOW.. this is the other upside to this venue..
Stamps:
To be honest, I think they offer the same as all other places in regards to 2 stamps per spirits, beer.. etc
BUT...
NON DRINKERS.. they offer 2 stamps per can of soft drink or per pot of coke.
This venue promotes responsible drinking and is one of the only venues I play at that is fair in regards to non drinkers.
So having said that, I get stamped up for buying 4 cans of softdrink, 2 of which can go home with me.
As a nondrinker I think that is VERY fair
Prizes:
Usual NPL prize packs are on offer.
1st place get a $50.00 venue voucher.
2nd place get a $25.00 venue voucer.
Bounty prize:
A bottle of Hardys wine.
Conclusion:
As a first review I will have left HEAPS of information out, so please feel free to ask anything, I will do the best to answer any and all.
Thanks for reading.
