A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts five light-skinned men sitting and standing at a bar. From left to right, one man rests his head on his arms folded on top of the bar, one man wears a hat and watches two men to his left have a conversation (one in a newsboy cap, one in a fedora), and the final man wears a newsboy cap and looks down at the bar holding a box of cigars. Behind the five men is another light-skinned man looking on and there are two windows and a door to his right.
