No, the bar isn't packed at all. The bouncer is being a dick and only letting in the people who bribe him.

There is also a group of builders who have been waiting over a year to put up a large extension on the giant unused wasteland out back, however the bar owner has been telling them not to bother. Oh, and the bar owner also has a load of liquor stores and only bought the bar in the first place to stop the extension getting built.
