So great that Hoss C. posted this photo.
Alice Faye and "Sugie" (Harry Sugarman, of the Tropics Beverly Hills) opened The Club Car, at San Vicente & Wilshire in February 1941. I guess this was it.

"Cocktails in the Autogaph Bar"
It doesn't seem to have operated very long, because by NYE 1941 it had become Sardi's Wilshire.

I wonder about this place, if it had gangster/mob backing.
Jerry's Joynt was advertising here as of 1943.

Lila Leeds got into a scuffle at an unnamed cafe here in June 1949 followed by drunk driving in the 100 block of Gale Dr.

Frank Kerwin opened his Wilshire Seacomber 11-1-1950. It was still Seacomber when there was an arson fire here in November 1953.
