Questions Asked Regent Palace Hotel History.

 Hi. Do you have any pix of The Planters Bar please? I worked with Lino, Brian, Kim, Betty and Claudio 84 to 88 .. Craziest/Busiiest/Happiest time of my life.

So sorry but I have none of this lively and interesting bar. It was originally the Regent Cocktail bar opened at the same time as the Stetson Saloon and Garry’s  Coffee shop It was always difficult  to photograph due to its unusual shape and size it changed image  shape and design several times  and was lastly the Planters Bar before being developed as part of Callaghan’s. It never really got the recognition it deserved. I remember James Addison  ( Sale and Marketing ) re-launching Planters  in the early 199o;s with  some really fancy cocktails  which were so rich and strong that several people were very unwell those were the days The picture I enclose is from the 60’s and I think it may be Lino in the picture can’t be sure but when it became planters the bars was moved around to face the door which you can see on far side of the room.
