We normally don&#8217;t venture off too far from the hotel during convention. Well, I don&#8217;t because I just don&#8217;t have that much time. Brian usually just eats at the Pub next door. We will have to remember Ra for next time because they have really great happy hour specials and, on Sundays, the specials run from 3 PM to close which makes it an all-around happy day! <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/35880690090\/in\/datetaken-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4301\/35880690090_ed4e2e0a87_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of the restaurant&#8217;s interior.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/36107858312\/in\/datetaken-public\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4300\/36107858312_9c9c3efea3.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The ambiance is quite nice.
