Histori
The club opened in the basement of the Mohan Building at 14 Hankow Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, in March or May 1971. One of his early managers was Pat Sephton, former model of the Windmill. A 1994 court ruling requested to remove his naked-butt neon signs, and for the stripper to wear a bra or neglect. The location of Tsim Sha Tsui closed in April 2004. Renting was mentioned as a possible reason for closure. The club reopened on the first floor of David House, 37-39 Lockhart Road in Wan Chai in May 2004, this time mainly as a sports bar, with one of the original bars recreated in the back room.
In July 2009 the club closed.

At the time of the film, the club was located in Tsim Sha Tsui, on the Kowloon side of Victoria Harbor. This led to an unpleasant film when Bond, played by Roger Moore, was picked up outside the club by a British agent disguised as a cop, and was told he was taken to a police station on the Kowloon side (from Hong Kong Harbor), when in fact he had It is there.
According to one source, while the film features exterior footage of the Club, the scene inside the Club was actually filmed in a studio in England, where it was recreated.
The club also appeared in the 1994 Wong Kar-wai movie Chungking Express . Takeshi Kaneshiro and Brigitte Lin drank there before going to the hotel room.
The club also appeared in the book Zero Minus Ten by Raymond Benson (1997) where James Bond met Sunni Pei (consuming girl and striptease dancer), Hong Kong mobster "The Triads".
