Wanchai Bars

Here is another of the photos I took in July,1972. If I am correctly remembering, I'm standing on the corner of Lockhart and Luard,looking down Lockhart towards Fenwick. There is the Ocean Bar on the right. In a 1967 photo here, the Ocean Bar,and the United Nightclub appear to be on the same side of the street-but in 1972, the United was next door to the Mini Club. I spent a lot of time in that Mini Club, and would sometimes find myself spending the night in the "Lucky Apartment" (I still have the card) at 87 Lockhart Road, "upstair United Bar".

I spent a week in Hong Kong in July of 1972. Being only 19, this is the area I gravitated to right away-I probably went into every place in the photos. I've spent the whole evening "walking" around this place via Google,and it's pretty much unrecognizable, but I see the same exact "Tattoo" sign at about 77 Lockhart Road,except that it is now 'Rickeys',instead of 'Pinky Yan'. If I am oriented correctly,in this photo I think I am standing at the corner of Lockhart and Luard, looking down Lockhart, with the Harbor on my right.

Looking down Luard Road from corner of Lockhart Road. Ocean Bar was apparently a favourite of submariners (among others, I'm sure).(http://www.usstunny.org/content/view/43/45/)

Sky Room - Wanchai 1957

A great view of 50s Wanchai from the perspective of a US sailor. Guessing Luard Road or Fenwick Street. The old white building in background is still there (though abandoned) on Kennedy Road

Sky Room  is listed in a very interesting agenda for U.S. naval officers on the USS Kimberly visiting HK in September 1952 under DANCING
