Smoky Joe's
Does anyone remember an establishment (Bar cum Cafe) called Smoky Joe's which in the 1960s was located either on or close to the pierhead at Port Melbourne? I recall the name and approximate location but very little else as it wasn't a place that I frequently patronized. It may be that I'm completely muddled and the place I'm thinking of was somewhere else altogether. I'd be grateful for any enlightenment. Many thanks in advance for any replies.
Kind Regards to all.

There are quite a few places called something like that all over the World,one that comes to mind is the old Smokey Joe's Bar (Sloppy Joe's Bar) in Havana Cubu as well!

There may well have been but so much change has taken place in that area over the years it may be hard to find anyone who knows.
Happy daze John in Oz.
