martha, try setting your digital camera's ISO setting as high as possible (400?) and don't bother with the manufacturer's preset white balance settings ("cloudy", "sunny", "tungsten", etc.). this might help in dark bars.

Yeah, sorry, but those pics are worthless. I even tried opening up the shadows in photoshop, and there's so much artifacting from compression. Using a camera phone?
I think a shot of the outside of the place would have been better.

At first I thought this was an Onion article or something. That photo is so dark, it seems like a parody.
