The West wing pub, dubbed by it's owner and patrons the "Lone Drunkard", owned by an obese bartender 'Mick', and frequently populated by all sorts of lowlifes, freelancers, and even miners.

While he was eyeballing the patrons in the pub, he drank his beer and waited for something interesting to happen.
