Status: Closed
Open: 1963, Close: 1971

Bar and restaurant which opened in 1957. In 1963 it was bought by George Mountanos and Ronald P. Fein who were granted a card room license for a room located behind the bar. Later that year, William P. Mountanos, the brother of the owner and club bartender, was arrested for maintaining a bookmaking operation at the club.

Husband and wife Lloyd and Eunice Abrahamian bought the bar (and card room license) in 1964. In 1971, Lloyd sold the bar, but retained the card room license, which he requested to be transferred to "George's Recreation Parlor" across the street.
