The club on the Bund was a British men's club and was the most exclusive club in Shanghai during the heyday of the 1920s and 1930s.The second-floor was famous for the 'Long Bar'. This was an unpolished mahogany, L-shaped bar that measured 34 m by 12 m. On one side of the bar was a smoking room and library, while on the other side was a billiards room. It was famous for being the world's longest bar at one time. Noel Coward said, laying his cheek on it, that he could see the curvature of the earth. The restored building as of October 2010 is the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai, a luxury hotel.
