"The public, in general, might have the wrong impression that this is a rough and tumble place where there is a lot of hard drinking and hard partying and you know, decent people don't go there," said Koro. "It really couldn't be further from the truth."
Koro went on to say that the venue is the "heart of the Orange County riding community" and a "good night" could bring upwards of 500 people there.
