"'Please, please me' rings out from the Beatle Bar across the road, better known as the 'liason' point for local girls, their mothers and, in some instances, their grandmothers.

The Monkey bar is filled with Australian surfer dudes transfixed by 'wave' movies playing over the gyrating dance floor. Dirty dancing takes on a totally new meaning here."
