AI-colorized Bamboo Room bartenders, ca. 1948

ca. 1948

Highland Beach, foot of Sandy Hook

An AI-colorized version of the two Bamboo Room bartenders in uniform, ca. 1948 — the same underlying photograph as IMG_9388 but rendered in modern high-resolution color. The short bolero-cut white uniform jackets are now visibly cream-colored with tan collars and cuffs, worn over brown gabardine trousers. The Rheingold-adjacent sign at left resolves to what may read "Ale" in the original signage. Bamboo-lined back bar with glassware shelves rendered in warm color. Colorization is a modern editorial pass; the original underlying photograph is the same source.
