Also called the "Nite Kap Bar", "Nite Kap Tavern", or "Nite Kap Cocktail Lounge". Owned by George Gomez, who transferred his card room license from "Ginny's Cafe" to the Nite Kap at 330 D street in 1968. By the mid 1970s, Tony Lewis Cota co-owned the bar/card room with Gomez, and he had sole ownership by 1980 when the D Street location burned down. The bar and card room moved to 219 E Street in 1981 (see "Archive").
T. R. King sold 1650 of these small crown chips in five denominations to Ginny's Cafe, 333. E Street, Lemoore, CA between 3/19/1968 and 1/14/1969. The dates seem to indicate that these chips were more likely used at the "Nite Kap Bar".
