It was not until 1960 that the Club obtained a liquor license, and a rathskeller offering "Tables for Ladies" was installed on the Ground floor. (Until then Tea and Punch were regarded as proper and sufficient refreshment.) It proved to be an unwise financial venture and was closed after one year. Today's Bar in the beautiful Conservatory fares better and welcomes you.
