Hale Pele was packed and noisy each time we went, but we could still carry on a conversation even if we couldn't quite make out what music was playing. There are some simple steps that can be taken to break up those hard surfaces and improve the acoustics, but that's never taken into consideration during remodels. Too many people just figure "That's the way it is."
