Pretty good system - There's an entrance fee. You then receive a card which you must present to any server to order food and drinks. That tracks your tab which allows you to walk around freely after you eat. Multiple bars. To settle your tab, you pay upfront as they have several cashiers to cash you out. They take credit cards including Amex. Fun times and great cocktails. The passion fruit caipirinhas were delicious!!!

The setting is nice. The stage is perched next to some windows (On the third floor), so you have great views of Lagoa during the concert. The menu is very interesting, with some Asian inspired dishes like curry and chicken satay. I had the Organic Chicken, which came in a red curry with yummy pineapple rice on the side. The only thing I think I would change about this place is the chairs. They're quite uncomfortable, and when people come to see a show (and sit for hours), surely they would like to have comfortable chairs! I would recommend checking out their agenda. They have some great musicians coming through, and who doesn't like dinner and a show?

The most impressive thing of this pub is, that they know perfectly well how to deal with sound in a relatively small environment. It is one of the rare places where amateur bands can really sound great without their music being a messy wall of sound. I definitely recommend Saloon 79 if you are in for a night of good live rock accompanied by a nice and cold drink!

The production of the dances was not good meaning that the dancers simply did their standard stuff which is personal skill but no thought at all given to choreography. In fact the band played on the stage and the dancers are at floor level with audience initially sitting around plastic tables and chairs. When the dancers got started, after 11pm the audience left their seats and formed a circle around the area with the dancers. Then everyone else had to stand up but only people in the first line of the circuit could see anything. It seems to us that's how the audience is used to in this place. It took us 10 minutes to squeeze in to the front so we can watch. After that we enjoyed the high skill level of the dancers. I would recommend to people who are adaptable
