We want to set our OTS in a pub, but we've come across a few problems.
Firstly due to legal reasons we can not smoke in the pub so we wont be able to get the full effect of a film noir, so instead of this we are hopefully going to be using someone's lounge area which has an area which is similar to a bar, hopefully we can work this to our advantage as it does have some benefits filming in a more private area:

we can smoke with the owners permission, without breaking the law
we can spend more time filming, going over things and improving them
when using the get away car it will be easier as it's not on a busy road
we have more freedom of choice when changing and redoing things
