A rare HRP survivor is the bar. Now located at Don Ramon's Restaurant (535 25th st. West Palm Beach) it served for many years at the late, great This Is It Pub.
Gentlemen (the bar was closed to women) could enter the bar from the hallway separating the first floor of the octagonal ballroom. Tea was served in the Palm Room for the ladies. There was a stockbroker's office and billiard room in addition to the bar for the men.
The discrete tipler could reach the bar via a secret hallway, affectionately dubbed "Hypocrite's Row," off the men's toilet.
