Just dropped by The Deck today to kill 3 hrs... boy is it crowded alright. Being a firm fan favorite of The Pier, here's my 2 cents on both:

- beer selection at The Deck seems different v.s. Pier... i found tins of Hoegarden here, v.s. San Miguel at the Pier
- it's really crowded at lunch time. Arrived at 1.30pm and was #7 at the noodle bar. Tables were ~95% full. Circled the place a few times before scoring a free table
- shower stall water pressure here seems slightly lower v.s. Pier's. And the A/C seems weaker too... I came out of the shower sweating (doesn't happen @ Pier, and happens a TON at the Bridge).

I would've sauntered back over to Pier, if not for the odds of my mainland China flight being out of the Dragon (which it ended up departing from - ughhhhh).

Overall, if I've >2 hrs to kill, Pier wins hands down on space, crowd compression, shower facilities and almost everything else.
