I know; I've been posting a lot in here; don't throw tomatoes. *cowers*

I was wondering what people's conceptions of Milliways' appearance were. I know we have a map, but I was thinking more in terms of ambiance, what the bar area looks like as far as colors, what it smells like, et cetera, et cetera. I was going to write a journal entry for Hob today describing some of this, but I didn't think it was fair to usurp first dibs on description. Although I suppose that we could always say Milliways looks different to everyone who enters...

Ideas?

I've always thought of it as the quintessential British Pub; aging wood-paneled walls, benches rather than cushioned booths, cluttered bar, raftered ceiling, prints of indeterminate origin and taste on the walls, probably a dartboard somewhere :D But that's just me.

Pretty much the same here, except I see the booths having cushions, with peeling vinyl covers in places... :)

I'm with them. I've always imagined it looking akin to the friendly neighborhood dive bar.

Though, the raftered ceiling is something I hadn't considered.

Hee! They could indeed have that.

*nods* The extra weight I'm carrying demands some degree of padding; I've been sticking to booths most of the time.

I've been picturing a floor made of flagstones of various irregular sizes, and the tables and chairs to have white holes in their legs where thebeer has splashed them repeatedly over the centuries. The barstools are newish, compared to the rest of the bar. They are made of stainless steel (which won't be eaten away by beer) and have soft dark red seats covered in vinyl.
