? for Borg regs: pre-session spots

[noir]

I'm coming in to play on April Fools. Before I sit down and start value betting, I'll be getting together with some friends. Now, my knowledge of the place doesn't extend beyond the poker room. I've heard there's quite the scene on Friday nights. Any suggestions on a good place to hang out? I'm looking to avoid crowds, which I know might not be possible. But since I don't see these folks too much, I'd like to be able to converse without shouting.
