A large window was installed at the back of the space which opened up to views of Leura and the Jameson Valley. The projection room became the kitchen and the old refreshment lounge became the Avalon Cocktail Bar. The Avalon re-established itself the next year in the upstairs dress-circle of the historic Savoy Picture Theatre, just around the corner from the original site. In 1999, a pyromaniac set fire to the building, which was subsequently demolished. The smoking room was a fondly remembered nook which added to the bohemian atmosphere. In the early days, the Avalon staged events such as plays, poetry, opera, jazz & blues nights, dances & art exhibitions.
