The Beachcomber Lounge was part of a major remodel that occurred at the Newlands Hotel in Glasgow, Scotland. The date was 1973. I found this article that had this great ad for the new bar - Tikis and Tiki drinks. And a photo as well. No doubt inspired by the Mayfair Beachcomber in London and Butlins Beachcombers chain throughout the UK. The hotel remodel included several different rooms, including the Windjammer Restaurant and Captain's Cabin bar. Here is the description of the facilities. And the firm that did the remodel. Hopefully some of the TC members over in the UK can find out a little more about this place. DC
