Looking on WW, Elizabeth, the building became Wigan Casino, and then part of the Grand Arcade has since been built on its site.

From a thread on WW Forum - Wigan Casino or not (2010):

Am I remembering things right here... there was also a bar attached to the ballrooms that was open to the passing public?

The complete building from Station Rd to Millgate, had a few levels. bordered on the right by the "Ship Yard"

A snack bar & snooker hall, beneath the Ballroom floor & a restaurant with "Green or Garden" in its name to the right of the ballroom door.
Through the Emp door you had to climb a few steps to the ballroom.
The balcony which encircled the ballroom (apart from the stage), had a door to the left of the stage, which after going up a couple of steps,
opened up into the Palais de Dance, which at the other end had an entrance/exit to Millgate.
