The Ad Lib Club was a nightclub, made world famous through the patronage of the Beatles, on the fourth floor of 7 Leicester Place over the Prince Charles Theatre in London's Soho district. The nightclub opened in February 1964. It was noted for its R&B and Soul music, its inclusive atmosphere, its deviation from the traditional club model, its daring decor and its ability to attract the biggest stars of Swinging London. Mark Lewisohn describes the club as the nightclub "most strongly associated with The Beatles". The Beatles ended their evening at the club following the premiere of A Hard Day's Night in July 1964. Cynthia and John Lennon and George Harrison and Pattie Boyd thought the lift going up to the club was on fire during their first LSD trip in 1965, an event which Harrison called "The Dental Experience". The Beatles had their own table at the club. It was at the club that Ringo Starr proposed to Maureen Cox in January 1965. The Ad Lib closed in its original location in January 1966 following a legal battle with local residents and the Church of Notre Dame de France over the noise level emitting from the venue. The manager, Brian Morris, unsuccessfully tried to reopen the club in Covent Garden. Another manager, John Kennedy, did re-open the Ad Lib on the site of the 400 Club on Leicester Square in the summer of 1966. The musician and writer George Melly characterised the relationship between the entertainment and social elite of Swinging London and the rest of Britain's youth as "feudal" with "edicts handed down from the Ad Lib Club ... to the teeny boppers in the outer darkness". The Ad Lib was supplanted in popularity by The Scotch of St. James.
