Title: Bristol Feedback.
Post by: Matt D on July 07, 2014, 10:29:35 AM

As a new stop on the tour, I"d be interested in hearing what everyone thought of the venue, the running of the tournament, that kind of thing. Feedback like this helps us plan future seasons. Thanks :)

Venue was excellent - I hate the fact that the Welsh Open is not in Wales, however the venue made up for it.

Free buffet - just like the old days :)

Tournament updates - all been said elsewhere, but clearly needs locking down to a solution.




Table draws - please stop putting Chris Webber on my left at these events!

IMO had a much more Apat feel about the event than the Glasgow event did (don"t think i"ve played since then).

Standard of dealing and organisation was really good, tiny bone to pick was some of the regulars from the Casino on one of my tables trying to tell the dealer how to do their job and making it more complicated than it needed to be.

Venue really first class, double thumbs up from me. I would most definitely play another APAT here. 2nd only to the G Coventry imo as the best venue I"ve played an APAT at.

Free parking as near to the casino as is possible, free buffet, and all staff were welcoming and made an effort.

I had a couple of dealers who either don"t normally deal poker or were new but nothing that was a problem. I"ll take a less experienced dealer with a smile on their face over a miserable know all any day.

Venue is good. Only personal thing is it had less of an APAT feel as it was my regular casino but that"s not fixable. Good work bristol

Venue was excellent as were the general surroundings. Clean, tidy and vibrant. The whole area had a nice feel to it. The IBIS next to the casino was excellent as well. Would deffo return.

Venue excellent. Staff excellent. Dealers on the whole very good ( had one inexperienced one the whole weekend), great choices of local hotels, side events both decent and the usual crowd seem to have a good laugh.

Another positive feedback -Loved the venue, loved the free soft drinks. Staff were great, mostly fairly friendly. Just one inexperienced dealer, who made several mistakes but everyone has to learn.

The casino had a nice feel to it and is definitely worth another visit sometime I think.

Loved that Apat finally came to Bristol after many years of campaigning and it was fab as I knew it would be. Free soft drinks (not that I had any), free food, great atmosphere and Apat at its best.
