After our
successful return here earlier in the year, we will take the opportunity of
meeting very close to the Paramount, so that members can go quickly on to the
next Outtakes film!

The Lounge Bar can be entered most conveniently from Courtenay Place
south side a few metres from the junction with Tory Street going towards Kent
Terrace. There's a doorway and some stairs marked by a small sign.
Go up the stairs and through a plainly marked door on the first floor and you
are there.
