Some fascinating detail. The young ladies grouped to the far left by the column, and in front of the bar, look like bar girls - touting for business for the bar, or is there trouble, like a fight or a police raid, going on inside?
Many cooked food sellers outside. The sailors' uniforms don't look British, maybe French.
And look at the balcony for a contrast - a child's slide and rocking horse.
I don't think there's any raid or fight going on, everyone looks relaxed in the photo. If there was some trouble going on they'd all be looking towards it.
