This is what I recall. Barely. It was a silent place.

Beer! Gin! Wine! So said the blinking sign on the corner. But the awning signage has those two holy words: Coffee Shop. (Or Cocktail Lounge, if you prefer.) This shot was taken in the early 80s, when the hotel had already dived deep into senescence. Note that the lower floors have been renovated again - the marble removed, the stores brought backm and the ornament stripped.

That's one tall disco man, incidentally. One tall disco man.
