Bar and licensed card room originally owned by Bruno Romani. Also called the "Onyx Card Room". Gaming ended around 1994, but the bar/nightclub is still open (2022). Bill Mathers operated the card room and left to open "Bill's Card Room" (109 Church Street) in 1987. He lost his license the following year.
