Still bright at nine in the evening and almost empty. Seating is tight but there is power under most tables.

Worked the afternoon ·
18 down is slow enough to be annoying, but it is quiet and there are sockets. Fine for writing, no good for anything else.

Worked over lunch ·
Cramped and noisy at lunch, and I ended up sharing a table. The coffee is very good, to be fair to them.
