Question Does anyone know anything about this?
I found this in a box of old family photos. I reversed image searched it but there was nothing (usually don’t post on reddit so lmk if this is the right sub to post this on or if I’m doing something wrong lmao).

Clearly it's a nice place for young ladies to take their Dads out to on Father's Day...

Looks like an invite to an old timey "gentleman's club"

Probably more Hostess Club than Gentleman's Club, something like the Playboy Club

That address was Dorina’s Club and can be seen in 1968 movie The Sorcerers. Basement of Imperial Hotel.

This was probably handed out, on the street, by some kind of a shill/barker type character who would scribble his name on the card and get a payment at the end of the evening if the punter actaully arrived at the club.The 'HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PERSON' was simply to encourage the potential punter into thinking they would be getting special treatment, whatever they may have thought that would be. In the 1980's it was common to be handed discount cards for nightclub entry if the club rep liked the look of you or your group. This is much the same thing, but from an earlier time, maybe late '60's or early '70's .

No mention of accepting Barclaycard (1967) or Access (1972), so I would say you are on the money and it's late 60s to early 70s.
