It's a grand pub. Not sure why Kemptown has a rep still for being full of gays. Most pubs here are far less obviously gay than most in town. You'd think people were prancing about in chaps and blowing each other in the streets.
They're probably here for the match tomorrow. They more than likely decided to make a beano of it and have come down the night before. Yep, in fact the more I think about it the more that explanantion makes sense.
