City:chicago State:IL Zip: country:USA Phone: Status:defunct Description: I did a search on tiki central and came up with nothing. apparently this was a bar/ dance hall type of place that was most likely from the pre-tiki era. There are coins /tokens that turn up from this place on ebay occasionally which led me to believe this may have had an arcade connection or "dime for a dance" tokens from the ballroom age. This is the only picture of it I found. The other picture shows what it looks like today and rumor has it that the original building facade is behind the one shown. They may have just built the new facade over the old one from the looks of it.
