Further Information This new bar was on Mile End Road, above a furniture store.  This was
the old Smith's Store that was on the left hand side of Mile End Road
between The Scotia and the old multi-storey car park.

Described as a bar without parallel in the area at the time. Imagine a
dramatic gangster-era art decor, crowned with a palm beach and you
have captured the atmosphere.
