Club Bali

Opened in April 1940, Club Bali was a popular nightclub in West Philly.

This outdoor neon sign beckoned passersby inside (hat-tip Hidden City Philadelphia).

The Ink Spots performed here throughout the 1940s. Their setlist typically included their smash hit, “If I Didn’t Care.”

Circa 1953, Club Bali was taken over by Norma Sockel whose brother-in-law, Herb Spivak, owned the legendary Showboat.
