I don't like it, I used to like the raised back end, and the decor on the new renovation makes the place look really cheap and grotty. The extra toilets are in but the back end (if there is intention) is not finished, unless the intention is only to put in toilets.
He is also losing control of the kind of girls he allows in. Always had working girls hanging out but now there seems to be no control of the type of working girl he allows to hang out, again leaving a cheap and grotty taste. It's losing itself and will end up nasty if he doesn't put the breaks on things, maybe a sign of the boss and his personal direction in life also. Not saying anything other than every time I see him he is looking more and more wrecked up, DR (not exclusively) does that to so many new bar owners in few years.
