If I were to have a birthday party in a pub, should I make it a proper Private Party thing where they don't let riff-raff in, or just let people turn up (and rely on the fact that a horde of black-clad freaks are probably going to scare off the normal customers anyway)?

The main disadvantage with the private party thing is that if nobody turns up I not only lose money but look like a complete Billy No-Mates...

Oh, go on, let's make it into a poll:

Assuming this is The Carlton, then the functional difference between the two options is rather small. Elsewhere, I think it depends on the venue, and especially on how much they plan to charge...
