She remembers going with her friends after ice skating and loved the exotic décor and the music,(not reggae/ska at this time). This was however, way before 1966, (was that a typo?) probably in the late 1950s or early sixties. In fact this place features a lot in an Edgar Wallace film: Ricochet! from 1963, you can see the décor, the bar and even the entrance stairs and sign, (sadly all in black and white). The Edgar Wallace films have had a re-run on UK TV 'Talking Pictures' channel and its worth a watch. Trying to find out anything about this place, (from the armchair), is pretty difficult, so thanks Atomictonytiki!
