No women (well not many), several pool tables and a nice place to sit after work for a beer to wind down before going home. It was the working man's "Governer's Club". The Governer's Club was in Lincoln Plaza.
Thanks.... I never knew the name of the lounge. I "googled" Jake Samara which led me to this OKC talk.
Sounds as if Jake had owned several lounges. I know that Grandma worked for him as a waitress of course, at another location probably before the one on Lincoln.
