In real life the Venus Bar was on Salisbury Avenue in TST (#14) but if you try and look for that name now you won't find any modern reference to it. I'm not sure of the why or when but the street name was changed to Hau Fook Street. It's a small dead end off Carnarvon Road nestled about halfway between Cameron and Granville Roads. I think the film was shot in 1966 (according to an online interview with Sal Borgese) so I'm not sure if Savoy Mansion (the building occupying the address and built that same year) is the building on screen.

I should mention that I found the year of the name change and it was 1978. See my comment on gwulo here: https://new.gwulo.com/comment/60733#comment-60733
