The Nosh Bar opened in 1944 and formed an important part[citation needed] of the Soho community during the post war years.
It served traditional Jewish fare, including among other things, speciality chicken soups, salt beef on rye bread, new green pickles, hot potato latkas, Jewish cheesecake, and traditional lemon tea for over forty years.
Who said of it "the other thing my deja vu took me back to was the Nosh Bar on Windmill Street, which sold fantastic pastrami on rye with Dutch pickles and lemon tea.
It was staffed by ancient rude men with sad eyes and brilliantined hair, who wore white coats.
"[1] The Nosh Bar was frequented by many boxers as well as boxing managers and promoters, owing to its proximity to Jack Solomon's Gym in nearby Ham Yard and it was a favourite of the showgirls from the Windmill Theatre.
