The Tivoli was a
very well known and patronized gambling hall in Juarez in the 1910's
and '20's--especially with US tourists during prohibition. In the
early 1930's the area of Juarez where the Tivoli and other bars,
clubs, etc. were located began to decline in popularity with people
entering Juarez from the Texas side, as the area immediately
adjacent to the International Bridge became the destination of
choice (the Tivoli was located further in town).
Consequently,
the New Tivoli was built near the International Bridge and
became a popular bar, cafe and gambling hall. The New
Tivoli opened in 1933 and was still in business as late as
1955. It was the last officially licensed gambling hall in an
open Juarez (open gambling ceased there in Dec.1934).
