The Ad Lib Club was a nightclub on the fourth floor of 7 Leicester Place over the Prince Charles Cinema in London's Soho district.
It opened in February 1964 (or December 1963), and closed in its original location after a fire in November 1966.
The owner, Brian Morris, unsuccessfully tried to reopen the club in Covent Garden.
