Princess Billiards Saloon
The sign on the left reads "Princess Billiards Saloon". Does anyone remember where it was?

Re: Photo Location
The old houses on the right in the above photos were located on the north side of Granville Road betwen Nathan and Carnarvon Roads as shown below. The buildings immediately behind are fronting Carnarvon Road.
The rear view of the old buidlings can be seen below on the right.
I did get an address for the Princess Billiard Saloon - Mezzanine Floor of the Princess Theatre. The Saloon opened in October 1953. China Mail 3 October 1953 refers.
For the photo location, looks like there was an alleyway between the PrincessTheatre complex and Granville Road commencing from Nathan Road towards Carnarvon Road at the rear of the old houses as shown below at bottom edge. I think the sign indication for the Saloon can also be seen.
Thanks Moddsey, another
Thanks Moddsey, another mystery solved!
Now we know the location, we can see the alleyway on this 1956 map, starting wide then narrowing down: https://gwulo.com/map-of-places#18/22.29991/114.17246/Map_by_ESRI-1956_…
