The Walker's Point Cafe was extremely popular after bar time, when many people, slightly tipsy, would converge and take in the atmosphere. It was opened by Michael Roberts (aka "Miss M.") where the Ski Glow Cafe had previously been for about 14 years. Miss M. closed the Cafe in May 1987, but it reopened in mid-June under new management, Roberto and Kimann, who pledged 24-hour service "no ifs, ands, or buts".

More information about this business is welcomed from anyone who can contribute it.
