A black-and-white photographic postcard of three men, a bartender and two patrons, in a bar. One of the men, the bartender, stands behind a long wooden bar. He wears a dark vest over a white collared shirt with a light-toned tie. He rests his proper left hand on the bar and holds his other arm at his side. Behind the bartender are two large semicircular mirrors mounted on the wall and a backbar covered with various shaped bottles and a cash register at the center. On the far side of the bar is a glass front cabinet with shelves lined with bottles. The reflection of the three men are visible in the mirror on the far right side of the image. On the other side of the bar, the two patrons stand at the far end of the bar.
