The Smilin' Buddha Cabaret was a Vancouver "Supper Club", originally called the "Smilin' Buddha Dine and Dance". It opened in 1953 under the direction of co-owner Harvey Lowe, a distinguished Chinese-Canadian radio personality and reigning world Yo-yo champion. Its iconic neon sign, now found at the Museum of Vancouver, was a city landmark, and one of the most ornate pieces of neon signwork ever made in Vancouver. "The Buddha" or "Smileys" (just a few of many nicknames for the place) had a license which allowed it to operate an hour later than other bars. Although many great musicians played its small stage from the 1950s to the 1990s, it was more simply known as a place for touring and local musicians to congregate. The venue closed for good in 1993, serving its last 16–17 years as Vancouver's epicentre of punk rock.
