Great find Abstract!

I did some close-ups of the postcard, what an amazing place this was. Hard to figure it has been under the Tiki radar all of this time.

Great bar, PNG mask on the wall.

Some Tikis out front.

Nice use of Chinese tiles and lava rock in the dinning room.

Found a little more info online. The restaurant is now the Cat and the Fiddle Pub and is supposed to be haunted!

Over the decades, the space that The Cat And Fiddle Pub now occupies has been home to many restaurants, including a commissary for a nearby studio and the famous Mouling's Mandarin/Shanghai-style restaurant, where one could have the undisputed best "Peking Duck" in town while listening to "Mr. Tahiti" tickle the ivories at the piano bar.

Here is a current photo and the link to the haunting story.
