Bar and club on the High Street. It opened in May or June 2013 on premises previously occupied by Bar Sport and Twilight Lounge.

Note: As of June 2015, the Croydon Advertiser reports that Dice Bar has been closed by the police. It isn't yet clear whether this will be a temporary or permanent closure.

According to a bas-relief at the top of the frontage, the building was constructed in 1895.

By August 2008 it was a bar called Mojama photo. By January 2011 it was another bar called S99 photo.

Bar Sport photo opened in Summer 2012 but closed again some time between February 2013 and the end of May 2013. See a photo of a Bar Sport flyer from early 2013.

A cocktail bar called Twilight Lounge photo opened in the basement of the building in late 2012, but closed again before Dice opened, possibly at the same time as Bar Sport. We aren't sure if there was a connection between Bar Sport and Twilight Lounge, nor are we sure if Dice is using the basement as well as the ground floor.

After Dice opened, for a while there was also a fully-licensed Italian restaurant called Authentic Italian Cuisine in the basement photo, serving a buffet during the day and a la carte in the evening. However, according to a staff member at Dice as of March 2015, this had closed down and wasn't coming back.
