Club Asiatique carries the look-and-feel of the American GI R & R
pleasure palaces of the era, within easy reach (day-trip or easy
flight connection) of combat troops in Vietnam. Bringing the War back
home, you might say. Upscale counterpart, without the illegal drugs --
something like Trader Vic's, the classic "Polynesian" bar & restaurant
that I knew here in the SF Bay Area.
A good book that details an important entertainment service associated
with such places serving US soldiers overseas:
