The Purple Goblet was located at 118 W. Lake Street.

The owner was Lynn Thompson.

An article in Select Magazine from February 1961 said that the Purple Goblet had “salon music” one night a week, and otherwise featured a jukebox and men playing chess. They described a grey walled white latticed back bar with a French barmaid.

The Purple Goblet went out of the jazz business for financial reasons.
